Happy December! You think we’ll see snow this week? Heard there’s a chance on Friday. You never know in this city though.
Holiday season is in full swing. Tons of festive fun this week with markets, thrift crawl, game nights, Santa visits, cat video fest, First Friday, the downtown parade, and Candlefest. You’ll find plenty of ways to get out and explore our city.
Did you know it’s ball season in Sunset Hills? If you’re unaware, you’ll want to drive through this neighborhood one evening this month to see an iconic Greensboro tradition. Balls of light everywhere. Here’s a map.
Drive around there one night before 10 PM, enjoy the aura, and bring cans of non-perishable food for the donation stations. If you go for the first time, let us know what you think!
