If you are heading from Greensboro east to Burlington on East Wendover/Burlington Road/Highway 70, you may see these road signs for the bypass. They have been sitting next to someone’s yard, in an area that is becoming increasingly less rural. The signs are not too far from Knox Road and Eastern High School. It will be convenient to zip around the city faster and to alleviate traffic closer to town; however, a new road comes at the cost of losing more green average. These signs appear so much larger when you are actually standing near them.

The road signs remind us that Willie Nelson was supposed to play in Greensboro tonight and he cancelled to to respiratory problems. Somewhere, recuperating, surely Willie is mentally singing “On the Road Again.”  Willie, we just can’t wait for you to get on the road again, and to hear you making music with your friends. And when you do, please reschedule for Greensboro. Just maybe, we’ll have this road ready for you. Happy Saturday, everyone!
