The 400 block of State Street has added so many new shops over the last few years, starting with Eclectic by Nature and then Vida Pour Tea, two of the anchor stores in the heart of State Street. Let’s hope BKK and these other businesses along State Street thrive. We always say this is the one street in Greensboro that comes closest to feeling like a street at one of the North Carolina beach communities. Also, talk a walk from Church Street to Elm Street, a little over 1/2 mile, and you will see the charm in this self-contained street. For the record, Greensboro Daily Photo is giving State Street the nickname Entrepreneurs’ Row. There must be at least 30 independently owned businesses on this street.

Happy Thursday!
