This message, in a ziplock baggie, attached to a scarf on South Elm Street reads: “This scarf is NOT lost. If you need it to stay warm, please TAKE it. If you can, please do something nice for someone else today.”  Hats off (or scarf on) to the person who left this little piece of sweetness and compassion on a streetlight downtown. Have you ever performed a random act of kindness or been blessed with one yourself? It is not uncommon to stumble upon these nice gestures in Greensboro. While, in the above photo, you can’t see much of the fleece zebra scarf, with the Kress and JP buildings in the photo, the scene is definitely situated in downtown Greensboro! 

And regarding our iconic Jefferson Standard/Pilot/Lincoln Financial building in the background. It appears it is in line for some major renovations.* Our vote is to maintain the integrity of the façade and to provide a venue or two inside that encourages the local community to visit. An affordable restaurant, with a panoramic view, would be great. 

Finally, as you are out looking for, or generating, random acts of kindness in Greensboro this weekend remember that it is reenactment weekend. Country Park will be full of people reliving March 15, 1781. (Information, here). You won’t want to miss it!
