Greensboro
All About Downtown
Greensboro’s downtown is a thriving economic center and has been vibrant since the late 19th century, with new construction almost a constant. Even during the Great Depression of the 1930s, construction was noticeable. Theaters, parks, galleries and restaurants line the historic Elm street area in downtown Greensboro. Downtown Greensboro is a prosperous and vibrant urban center today, memorable and meaningful for those who choose to live, work, and play here. Center City Park & Lebauer Park downtown is magical! A perfect place to go for walks, read a book, a quick game of frisbee or to let the kids run and explore the wall water works and beautiful fountain displays sometimes to music.Architecture and Landscaping
Greensboro’s been blessed with architecture and landscaping by iconic American designers – boasting more buildings by renowned architects than many North Carolina cities. Most of the work was done early in the 20th century, when Greensboro’s affluent citizens hired some of the best designers from New England and the northern United States. Local architects were also included in the creation of the beautiful city.Sports / Tournament Town
Long ago, the city of Greensboro was known as a textile town, saturated with mills, factories and blue-collar workers. But today, the city is better known as “Tournament Town” for its wealth of athletic venues – courts, fields, stadiums and even pools. Greensboro has been host to the men’s and women’s ACC basketball tournaments, the PGA Wyndham Championship and the U.S. Figure Skating Championships. The Greensboro Coliseum Complex employs more people than the legendary Cone Mills, once known for being the world’s largest producer of denim. While advanced manufacturing operations still play an important role in Greensboro, more often it is the basketball courts and baseball fields that are the center of attention and the center of the economy.Things to Do
The city of Greensboro is always teeming with activity. There is something for everybody when it comes to activities from a night on the town with friends, quiet dinners with that special someone or if you are a wine/beer connoisseur or like to shop to taking the family to a Greensboro Grasshoppers Game (which is fun for the whole family).
