I lived in Guilford County, and specifically Greensboro, for about 4 years and still consider myself to live "in the area". My wife and I now reside in Archdale, NC...just on the Randolph County side of the Guilford / Randolph line (and I mean just over!! I could hit my driver into Guilford County!)

I moved to this part of the world in 1988, taking a job in Randleman, NC (25 miles south of Greensboro in Randolph County). After getting established I moved to Greensboro because I wanted to live in a "big" city. Although Greensboro is not a very large city in terms of the rest of the world (only the third largest in NC), to a country boy from Forest City, it is a pretty large place.

Another thing that draws me to Greensboro, High Point and this area is the history. Everything from a major battle (skirmish?) in the Revolutionary War (the Battle of Guilford Courthouse) to the beginning of the Civil Rights Movement (the sit-ins at the Woolworth Lunch Counter), Greensboro has seen a lot of history. Within these pages, I will attempt to capture some of the smell of its history and taste of its present.

For the history side, I will include pages on the Historical Markers, Battle of Guilford Courthouse & Civil Rights Sit-Ins amongst others. For the current city, I will include pictures of important buildings, a list of my favorite restaurants (& maybe some not so favorites), details of the elements of the city (for example, government, education, leisure opportunities), and maybe some words on the sports teams of the community.

1. Historical Markers of Guilford County...these are historical markers from historically rich Guilford County. As time proceeds, I plan to have as many of the County historical markers as I can. NOTHING HERE YET...THIS PAGE WILL BE POSTED VERY SOON!!

2. Historical Markers of Greensboro...these are historical markers from within the Greensboro city limits. If I am not sure, I will default to the county page. NOTHING HERE YET...THIS PAGE WILL BE POSTED VERY SOON!!

3. Historical Markers of High Point...these are historical markers from within the High Point city limits. If I am not sure, I will default to the county page. THERE IS NEW PAGES HERE!!

4. Places of Guilford County (old and new)...eventually, many of the "important" buildings and places of Guilford County will be shown here. THIS PAGE CURRENTLY CONTAINS NO IMAGES OR WORDS -- IT IS UNDER CONSTRUCTION
