If you celebrate Christmas, want to get a jumpstart on your shopping, and love crowds, today is your day to shop! Fox 8 published a list of when local shops and and retail centers open (see HERE). The above photo is the window display at Anthropologie in Friendly Center. They always have creative artists designing their window fronts and displays inside. Friendly Center opened in August of 1957 and has probably been entertaining Black Friday crowds in its 65 year history. While you are at Friendly Center, you can swing by the Sunset Hills neighborhood and check on the progress of the Christmas lights high in the trees.
If you want to try to do something different, the Greensboro Badminton Club meets from 1:30- 3:30 at Leonard Recreation Center today. Players are really nice and welcoming. You may need to bring your own racket, though. Another option is to visit the Greensboro Science Center; however, it closes at 4:00 pm because they are in their Winter Wonderlights Season. To experience that great new Greensboro tradition, you will likely have to pre-purchase tickets. Perhaps best Greensboro tradition of all, is the Really, Really Free Market in Glenwood, where people bring items to give away. There is no limit and there is no requirement to donate to receive. This is a great way for people in need to pick up nice items for the family. Yet, even those who don't need, but want, are welcome, too. It is located at 1417 Glenwood Avenue at the corner of Florida Street. It is a great opportunity to donate items if you want to simplify your life a little.
Happy Black Friday! If you are a local retailer, may your sales be brisk and good luck on Small Business Saturday, tomorrow.
An eye catching display.
