Joyner Street is located on the edge of College Hill between UNCG, Greensboro College and downtown Greensboro. Many of the homes were built in the late 1800’s-early 1900’s to be occupied by professors and others affiliated with Greensboro College and UNCG ( the State Normal and Industrial College as it was called back then). The homes have been well cared for and have really been restored and modernized over the last two decades.

In the above photo a bright (we will not say lemon) yellow 1963 Chevrolet Corvair sits proudly on a lawn on Joyner Street. The name Corvair is a portmanteau, a combination of Corvette and Bel Air.* College Hill, formerly known as Piety Hill,  has done a good job of being a portmanteau of a community, combining the charm of a previous century and 21st century conveniences. And then there is the Corvair, beautiful in its own right, but stuck solidly between the century-plus-old  houses and the modernity of today. We would love to meet its owner!
