Yesterday, driving past this house at 1005 South Joesphine Boyd Street stopped us in our tracks. The sun was shining brightly and the combination of the red leaves, the red house, and the red car, punctuated by the pink, yellow, and blue planters looked stunning. With no cars on the road to the left, and the large lot that goes with the house, it looked like we were on a rural country road. In reality, we were just a block off of Gate City Boulevard and very near UNCG. This three bedroom, one bath, house was built in 1928. We can only imagine how rural it seemed almost 100 years ago.
Much of the Glenwood neighborhood is like this; at some places it looks very urban and others, very rural. If you want to drive around and explore Glenwood, we encourage you to attend one of the community events there. Most immediately, on Black Friday, Glenwood hosts Greensboro's "Really, Really Free Market at the church at 1307 Glenwood Avenue. They could use any donations you have. Everything is free. You can even pick up something for yourself. It is such a nice gesture, the "Really, Really Free Market has a really, really neighborly feel. Just like the house above!
It is photogenic.

This is my house and I only saw this by pure chance. I am glad others enjoy it as much as I do. Thanks! (you were on my street during a holiday lull, my pet peeve is that there is way too much traffic and the City refuses to do anything about it. It wasn't always like that but it is now..and it's intentional)
