I visited Greensboro back in 2018. I was there for a night. I had to head back to Atlanta. My friend had a traffic citation in Henderson,N.C. and I took him to court to pay his fine. We stopped in Raleigh, Durham and Greensboro.
I just came across this wonderful video and super-enjoyed your tour of Greensboro! Thank you! This town is lovely and you shot the video on a day when the frost had just kissed a few of the sun-dappled trees. So beautiful, and excellent narration! I will check out your other videos as well. Thank you for a terrific upload!
You are so sweet and brought a smile to my face - thank you so much! And thanks for watching - I"m glad you liked it and please watch the other videos as well. If there is something that you want to see more of - just let me know!
@@LivingInGreensboroNC Thank you, again! I did notice when reading the comments below, that you mentioned you grew up in the DC/Baltimore area. I live on the West Coast now but grew up in Montgomery County, Ashton/Sandy Spring, MD. I do miss the four seasons---especially the flowers in spring and the autumn colors in fall!
Don't forget about the ballpark. A great place to catch a baseball game with friends and family downtown. And there is a beautiful greenway that loops around downtown. The city just also started a free downtown trolley with four buses dressed up like historic trolleys. There are a number of development projects underway such as the 12 story Westin Hotel, 10-story AC Hotel and a developer is planning a major mixed-use project that could consist of hundreds of apartments and two 10-story office towers
WOW, I would totally ❤️ to live there, so beautiful. I love beaches and mountains. And I’m with you, I’m a dog person too. I have a cute little rat terrier mix. Thank you so much for the tour, I enjoyed it. 😊
No, you wouldn’t. It’s a dud. Also violent with a large ghetto population. You can highlight anyplace in a few minutes and make it look good. Sure, Greensboro is cheap but there’s a reason.
@@Superchargedtio Why do you have problem with my opinion that I have right to your opinion is that there's a lot to do in North Carolina I totally disagree but I'm not gonna try to make you feel bad about your opinion respect me the same way sucker. 😉
@@Classy4514 do you hear yourself? Starting that I’m displeased with you opinion ? One could say the same about you because I’m clearly starting my opinion. You literally contradicted yourself which isn’t good .. Maybe you should take the time and understand the formation of a sentence and understanding the English language as a whole
I graduated UNCG 1979 and returned a couple years later for a great period of work and social life. Believe it or not, I sold cell phones there in 1984 for one of the early entrants. First guy by the pool with a suitcase demo phone. Whatever happened to the Rhinoceros downtown? And Romberg's on Battleground?
How great is this? Now cellphones are everywhere! I had one in a bag that you plugged into a cigarette lighter. ha. The old Rhino was the best! You had a key to get in--with the fans on the ceiling. That was one of my old stomping grounds! It's a cafe now. I don't Rombergs. That sounds interesting.
@@Chozen13 I didn't walk down that part of the street. But I am going to do a whole video on Culture and Museums here in Greensboro--So thanks for pointing it out.
I lived in the Triad as a kid for 5 yrs. When my father announced we were moving back to San Diego, I got down on my knees and thanked God. And I’m not even religious.
I heard the Brown Summit area of Greensboro is a nice place especially for Black Americans. I want to relocate from Atlanta to North Carolina. Charlotte is the area I would like to live but I also want to live in an area that I can afford so I may consider living somewhere like Salisbury or Lexington N.C. Greensboro may be better to live than Charlotte.
Charlotte is great but a BIG city! It costs way more to live there than here. So greensboro is more of a city than Lexington but will cost a bit more housing wise. Let me know if you have any further questions. I’d love to help!
I am planning to move Greensboro in 2024 from Omaha Nebraska me and my 2 grown daughters and grandson we want to know about Greensboro and housing and transportation buses
my boyfriend and i are about to move there! do you know any places that have live acoustic music??:) im a musician, i just want to know if i csan still make a living??
I’m “an engineer by day, musician by night” and Greensboro isn’t great for full-time professional musicians… not many good places to play live performances (with decent pay) and it’s one of the things I missed most moving here in 2009 from Phoenix, AZ (and many years in the DC area before that)… I’m still here only because of my engineering job and wouldn’t have moved here otherwise because it’s quite boring here, although it’s gotten a little better in recent years especially with the opening of the Steven Tanger Center for Performing Arts… but it’s still boring. Most full-time musicians I know here have to travel out of town and/or out of state weekly, returning just in time to play for church services on Sundays, and then it’s back on the road.
Dear Sister , Thank you very much for your nice and fàntastic video . Please show us a few primary and secondary schools as well as a few colleges of repute in your neighborhood . God bless you ! With lots of love and regards , Jayantàda , 15/4/2022
Hi Jayanta! I haven’t done schools yet. I’m a bit hesitant because I don’t want to get in real estate jail. They consider it steering-but I could do a drive by and show it’s location and give the greatschool.org rating? And the colleges as well. Would that work?

I moved away when I was still a kid, but she doesn't sound even a little like North Carolina. I suppose television has done that. She does try to keep "uptalking" to a minimum, for which I am grateful.
It was in the middle of the work day... But there are a bunch of shops and museums. What about the two parks I showed? I promise I'm working on a video to showcase places in downtown. Come back and check it out.
I loved this vlog, because you really showed us how downtown Greensboro looks in depth! I also made a vlog about downtown Greensboro and make similar videos of different cities. Can we do a collaboration video one day whenever you have free time?😎👍
Ha good point! I went in October on like a Tuesday at 10:00 the kiddos were in school and people at work I suppose. There’s usually a bunch of people downtown. 😃
Well I hate to hear that. San Diego is a much larger city and vibe for sure. Just give it some time. You'll find your people and things to occupy your time. Try a day trip too! The leaves will be changing soon 🍁
@@LivingInGreensboroNC it is beautiful out here I e been living here since 2011, my childhood was so much fun growing up in San Diego so much more to do with the kids, Greensboro has a special place in my heart being that my kids were born here in Greensboro
@@kali7602 Maybe I'm biased too since my kids were born and raised here. I'm from Baltimore/Washington area. It was a big adjustment - but I don't miss the traffic for sure!
Yeah it looks like it is very boring honestly every city in North Carolina is super boring and ive been to 5 Durham, Raleigh, Winston Salem, Charlotte, and Oxford there all the same in my opinion. lol 😆
The primary industries of this area used to be textiles and tobacco. Textiles went to the third world and tobacco got taxed out of existence. Craft breweries are a great way of plugging in those holes, and we have a lot of patinated red brick buildings for ambience!
This video was so DISAPPOINTING! How can you do a tour of downtown Greensboro without mentioning the International Civil Rights Museum? Why did you ignore the few Black own restaurants ie Dames Chicken and Waffles? Your channel showed up in my algorithm and intrigued me but this video has given me an more accurate picture of who you are.
I’m sorry you feel that way and I will respectfully disagree 100% with you. I couldn’t go over every single restauran downtown. Also, I didn’t walk the block where the civil Rights Museum is located. I planned on doing an entire video of the Museums of Greensboro and having the. Viol Rights Museum as the top see video. One video’s omission does NOT show you an “accurate picture of who I am”. You don’t know me what so ever and shouldn’t be so quick to judge. Come back and see the video on the museums when I see it. And I can’t wait to highlight the Dame’s Chicken and Waffles 🙌
Planning a summer road trip and I almost passed Greensboro, but this video sold me on staying a night. Thank you!
You won't regret it! It's a fun little town 🙂
Went to college there ! Loved it. Great city
I do love it here so much! So glad you loved being here too!
I'm convinced. I need to visit Greensboro! It looks like such a fun place with so much to do!! 🤩And I always LOVE to try new yummy restaurants 🤤
Don’t move to Greensboro I was born and raised
It’s not
excellent video, please upload more!
Thank you, I will!!! I appreciate you watching

You are so right! I had filmed that but the video was long. I’m going to be doing another video!!!
Your forgot the incredible school system we have, great family neighborhoods
We do have both great neighborhoods and good school systems! I was just doing a loop downtown. I forgot to mention the museums downtown as well!
The schools might be crumbling but at least the education is good.👍
@@Brosef336 They're working on some of them - I wish they would hurry up though!
@@LivingInGreensboroNC Yeah I’m glad they passed that 1.7 billion dollar school bill
@@Brosef336 They'll finally get the schools updated when my kiddos are out of school--but the little ones will get the updated ones!
WOW, I would totally ❤️ to live there, so beautiful. I love beaches and mountains.
And I’m with you, I’m a dog person too.
I have a cute little rat terrier mix.

I enjoyed it. 😊

Very cute.
And so is the city
Bourbon bowl...you can drink..its great for familys lol
That place is amazing! I just went with my daughter 2 weekends ago ❤
VERY SOUTHERN AND COUNTRY LIKE LOOKS LIKE A GREAT PLACE TO EXCAPE TO FROM THE HUSTLE AND BUSTLE.
I couldn't have said it better if I tried!
@LivingInGreensboroNC I can't wait to visit this video makes me want to come there thanks for sharing.
Greensboro has a better vibe downtown then Durham and Raleigh to me , and I’m from Durham . More to do downtown
I love this! I couldn't agree more!!!
All three so call cities are very slow and Country seriously extremely boring.
@@Classy4514 because this is a place for families. There are many things to do in North Carolina you clearly aren’t open minded

It’s so true right? I don’t know how you can be both.
amazing
So glad you liked it! It's a great little city!
Hmm, it seems there's a lot of parks and greenery.....I suppose that's why it's called Greenboro. ("Green" and "boro", a shorten form of borough!)
Ha - yes --- It's actually named after Nathanael Greene. But it sure is green here 💚
Awesome vlog...
Thank you so much! I really appreciate it 🙌
Nothing on the Civil Rights Museum or did I miss it. Nice
@@Chozen13 I didn't walk down that part of the street. But I am going to do a whole video on Culture and Museums here in Greensboro--So thanks for pointing it out.
I escaped G-boring 6 years ago and never looked back!
I hate you didn't love it here, but I hope you are soooo happy where ever you are now!
I lived in the Triad as a kid for 5 yrs. When my father announced we were moving back to San Diego, I got down on my knees and thanked God. And I’m not even religious.
Is it that bad?
@@leonation89 I still have lots of friends who love it there, but it was hell for me.

Greensboro is the trashiest zombie land I’ve seen lately. This video should be updated 😢
I love your creativity with zombie land. We'll just have to agree to disagree 🤷♀
I moved away when I was still a kid, but she doesn't sound even a little like North Carolina. I suppose television has done that. She does try to keep "uptalking" to a minimum, for which I am grateful.
So you do or don’t like Greensboro?
Does Greensboro have an outdoor food court kind of like Charolette does?
We don't have a food court per say but we do have a lot of outdoor dining/restaurants downtown. Downtown is totally walk-able and easy to navigate
I mean it's all about bar and restaurants? also a deserted 😞
It was in the middle of the work day... But there are a bunch of shops and museums. What about the two parks I showed? I promise I'm working on a video to showcase places in downtown. Come back and check it out.
Hmmm… I saw her point out much more than just bars and restaurants.
I loved this vlog, because you really showed us how downtown Greensboro looks in depth! I also made a vlog about downtown Greensboro and make similar videos of different cities. Can we do a collaboration video one day whenever you have free time?😎👍

how about good chines food i am currently in titusville fla and the chinese is lousy
I haven't found a favorite Chinese place yet. I go to High Point to get great Thai food - www.singhaiithaibistro.com/ It is absolutely amazing!!!!
Is safe???
I think Greensboro is safe. There are areas that has higher crimes, but you can just steer clear of those areas. Check out www.crimemapping.com
It appears that drinking is the primary activity of Greensboroeans. I wonder what that tells me.
The primary industries of this area used to be textiles and tobacco. Textiles went to the third world and tobacco got taxed out of existence. Craft breweries are a great way of plugging in those holes, and we have a lot of patinated red brick buildings for ambience!
