Just beyond yesterday’s blossom and macro view from the parking lot of Deep Roots Co-op, today’s view is of the growing crowd at the St. Patrick’s event being held at Joymonger’s on Saturday. The craft brewery is owned by Greensboro natives and you can tell that they pride themselves in seeing that the locals are happy. Saturday’s gathering in this little park-let in front of Joymonger’s attracted people of all ages.

From this vantage point, you can see Smith Street Diner, the Marriott, the Jefferson Pilot/Lincoln Financial building and more. It is always fun to identify the JP/Lincoln Financial building from many vantage points in town. Regarding vantage points, we have always wanted to admire Greensboro from the top of the JP Building. We’re being told that getting to the top floor is no longer an option, not even for people who work there. For now, we’ll just have to appreciate the Great Gatsby view, from afar.
