Quaker Village, a shopping center with a combination of locally owned and chain stores, is conveniently located across from Guilford College on West Friendly Avenue. Quaker Village opened in 1964 and thrived for many years until suffering bankruptcy in 2010. Quaker Village got a facelift in 2014 when a neighborhood Wal-Mart was added and many other changes were made. Based on long lines yesterday, it appears that business in the village is booming. We were there at dinnertime and several of the restaurants had lines out the door. 

Today is ABC Wednesday and for Round 20, Q is for Quaker Village. Since we’ve featured Quaker Village before, initially, we had planned to feature “Quilting by Linda” at 7349 West Friendly Avenue. The address led us to a business park near the airport, When we arrived in the complex, “Quilting by Linda” was no longer there. One of our previous posts for the “Q” round of ABC Wednesday was Dennis Quaintance; lucky for Greensboro, he is still here! We haven’t featured Mr. Quaintance for six years. If we start planning now, maybe we can interview him for the next round. We also hope to meet the barbers at QV barber and style. It is nice to keep the ideas flowing. And, if you ever have ideas, please share! After all, you’re the reason we are here.
