The J. Douglas Galyon Depot. on East Washington Street, was built in 1927. It is a transportation hub for trains and busses. We were walking by today and noticed that the Depot has new signage on the smoke stack. Earlier this week, Downtown Greensboro, Inc. held its annual State of Downtown Greensboro event. One of the big announcements centered around initiatives for the Depot. The goal is to make the Depot a destination with more businesses, shopping, and events. 31 new businesses opened in downtown Greensboro in 2023 and space is at a premium.*
Yesterday was such a nice day, we walked to the Depot property to see the changed on property. As you can see, the brick smokestack now has signage on it. Also, about 15 trees along this hill have been cut down. We're wondering what they will be replaced with. It was such a lovely day. We were going to go inside the train depot building. However, that blue sky kept us wanting to walk and walk outside around town. We'll head inside the depot and share it with you on another day. If the Depot gets developed with the vision Downtown Greensboro, Inc. has for it, it will be yet another example of how East Greensboro is showing tremendous growth.
Happy Saturday!
