We’ve got the PGA TOUR in town this week! Pro players return to Sedgefield Country Club for four days of action as they compete for one last shot at the FedExCup Playoffs. Classic Greensboro tradition.
Noches Latinas FREE
Latin dancing takes over LeBauer Park during First Fridays downtown. Take a look at this video reel from earlier this month to get a feel. Seems like good friendly energy and all skills levels welcome!

Last Week’s Poll Results
What’s the biggest challenge to getting out and doing things around Greensboro?
I don’t know what’s happening - 19%
Time -14%
Cost - 20%
Finding people to go with - 41%
Nothing - I go out often - 6%
Finding people to go with was top barrier by a wide margin. You might not think that’s the case given how connected we are online, but digital connections don’t carry over to real life. We’re thinking through this problem. What’s your take?
