GNWTHWND, or Gone With the Wind,  is a timely vanity tag to share in Greensboro on the day after North Carolina experienced extremely strong winds. Locally, we had pelting rain in the afternoon; however, to our knowledge, there were no tornado watches or warnings in Guilford County.

We spotted this license tag recently, parked around town, and just had to get a photo for our GWTW friends. We have no idea who ordered this tag and are wondering if they have any connection to the book or movie. Locally, all things GWTH have been quiet since the events leading up to the 2014, seventy-fifth anniversary of the publication of Margaret Mitchell’s Civil War epic. However, somewhere, in Greensboro, resides one of the “Windies” as they are affectionately called. If you ever run in to this person, please get the back story. So aptly mentioned in a Washington Post article from the anniversary year, “(t)he grander the milestone, the fewer the folks who remember the original event” (reference). We’re betting, this person remembers!
