Awesome photo!

aerial of downtown Greensboro with the Southside area of downtown in the foreground. Also aerial of the Sheraton Four Seasons/Joseph S. Koury Convention Center, one of two 1,000 plus room hotels in the state. The other one being Harrahs Casino in Cherokee.

The aerial reveals that downtown is much larger than people realize and parts of downtown are still missing from the aerials. Greensboro's compact skyline makes downtown appear much smaller than it really is when looking at ground level skyline photos. You can also see how dense downtown really is.

Murrow Blvd, named after Greensboro native Edward R. Murrow (American broadcast journalist for CBS) was originally suppose to be a part of a freeway loop around downtown like in Charlotte. It was suppose to link to a freeway running parallel to Gate City Blvd all the way to coliseum. It was never completed and now part of Murrow Blvd will be a part of the downtown greenway.

That last picture looks like 1970's suburban Charlotte.

 

the picture of GSO that shows the park (Labuear or something?) looks great like it should be featured in a magazine

The new LED lights have been turned on on the Lincoln Financial Building. It has a purple hue and they also have them shining up the tower from the base. The old lights were amber. The new lights can be programmed to change colors.

We just moved to Burlington from Rocky Mount about a month ago and went to Greensboro today to visit Edward McKay's bookstore (sorry the Raleigh location closed).  We found some great books and movies and then drove through downtown.  I was really impressed with all the shops, restaurants, and bars on Elm Street!  We'll definitely have to make another trip over there soon!  I'm also excited to explore the rest of the Triad...Winston-Salem, High Point, Pilot Mountain, Thomasville, etc.

I know most of you area residents have been here many times I am sure but I always like visiting Pilot Mountain State Park and Old Salem when in the area. And I finally saw the downtown Winston skyline from the mountain today (this my 3rd visit to the park over the years)

Downtown Greensboro taken by nephew last week.  Love the contrast and reflection in this photo.

I was/am at Reboot, the arcade bar in DT Winston. Got a good shot of the RJR Building. Which, fun fact receives a Father's Day card every year from an unknown building in NYC.
