Greensboro enjoys gently rolling hills and is midway between the mountains of North Carolina and its beaches to the east. A view of the city from its highest building—the Lincoln Financial tower—reveals that the town is populated with large numbers of green trees, giving perhaps another dimension to its name. The town is well-situated in terms of travel, with Interstates 40, 85, and the soon-to-be-built I-73 passing through its borders. (Information provided by Wikipedia .)
If you are looking at visiting, Greensboro certainly offers the best to its visitors.

GREENSBORO, NC – (November 7, 2008) – For more than 40 years, longtime News & Record reporter and columnist Jim Schlosser has captured the history of Greensboro. From the well known to the obscure, Schlosser has brought the city’s history, people and places to life. With the city’s 200th anniversary upon us, there couldn’t be a better time to talk and swap stories with the man nicknamed Greensboro’s history detective.
