'T' is for Time-- on Elm Street

This is a scene on Elm Street, just north of Friendly Avenue. As evidenced by the time on the clock, it is 5:20pm, the point at which day is ending and night is taking over. Today is theme day for the City Daily Photo community and the theme is TIME– open to interpretation by the thousand plus members worldwide. We took a literal, here-and-now approach to time and photographed the Rolex clock in front of the Chamber of Commerce. The clock was installed by Carlyle & Company. The high-end jewelry company was founded in Greensboro in 1922 by the Cohen family. While the company survived the stock market crash of 1929, it did not weather the recent economic storm. Sadly, after 87 years in business, Carlysle and Company closed its doors last year. The clock remains a relic of its retail history. The clock ticks and the traffic moves down the road, leading us towards whatever the future brings in Greensboro and beyond…..

Conveniently, “T” is for “time, traffic and tick tock” on ABC Wednesday and, for Watery Wednesdaynature provided us with water too! Other, more Greensboro-related “T’s” that we’ll feature in the future include: Tanger Outlet, Ten Thousand Villages, Tannenbaum Park, and Triad Stage.
