Today is a big day for State Street! From 1:00–5:00 p.m., they are hosting a Saturday Stroll, with several businesses offering specials and items to put you in a fall mood. The opportunity to support local extends beyond State Street, too. You can start at the corner of North Elm and State Street and head all the way to Church Street, finding something local to support every step of the way. Also, visit our friends at the plant-gift-decor-plus shop, Green Apple Garden*. It’s right around the corner from Vida Pour Tea and Eclection.

We took this photo of State Street several years ago, and it has changed so much since then. Businesses have come and gone; however, there has been a resurgence in the area, and it’s well worth your time to check it out. We’ve always maintained that, with its nice sidewalks and tame traffic, State Street has the closest feel to a beach town that we have here in Greensboro.
