As we head into the weekend, you will surely see us around town taking photos. The above photo features the 300 block of South Elm Street in downtown Greensboro. This is one of our favorite sections. We love getting a cup of coffee from the Green Bean and sitting there mapping out our weekend plans. It isn't First Friday, but there will still be plenty to do. We love buildings/businesses that date when they were established. The Green Bean says "Est 2002" and Natty Greene's says "Eat. 2004." We're not so sure we would have guessed that the Green Bean pre-dates Natty's by two years.
Also, we remember when Grey's Tavern was an art supply store; however, we don't remember when Grey's was established (they need an "Est. 19XX sign). The Grey family has a lot of property along Elm Street, and are a prominent family. We don't know if they still own the tavern, but are glad they still have their name on it. We've been around long enough to know Sylvia Grey, who owned the building that now houses Elsewhere Museum. Thoughts of her work ethic and determination put a smile on our face, every time we walk past Grey's tavern or Elsewhere.
Have a happy weekend. Have you noticed hours and minutes of daylight are increasing?
Happy Friday! Happy exploring.
