e-Greensboro

Here's a list of Greensboro-oriented websites I find useful:

NEWS/INFORMATION
www.news-record.com - the local newspaper; site updated throughout the day. Set for a huge overhaul soon.

triad.bizjournals.com/triad/ - business happenings in the triad

www.rhinotimes.com/gso - mildly entertaining but borderline annoying.


PLACES TO GO AND THINGS TO DO
http://www.gotriad.com/ - website hosted by the News & Record that generally focuses on cultural aspects of the triad.

www.downtowngreensboro.com - a website devoted to downtown Greensboro. You can look up merchants/hotels/restaurants/bars/etc. and it usually highlights upcoming events downtown.

www.triaddiner.com - a comprehensive search engine of places to eat in Greensboro/the triad. It needs somewhat of an update to reflect changes in menus/hours/etc., but it's a great place to start when trying to figure out where to eat.


MOVERS AND SHAKERS
www.actiongreensboro.org - nonprofit catalyst for much of Greensboro's economic development. Their multi-faceted approach has revitalized downtown (funding--in significant part--the new baseball stadium, the new center city park, the civil rights museum, triad stage, the new greenway system, and various other developments planned and already in construction), attracted young professionals to the city, funded the public schools, merged local non-profits focused on economic development into one, more efficient organization, and done many more things for the city of Greensboro. Their website is updated every few weeks, but is interesting to read nonetheless.

www.downtowngreensboro.net - now a part of the merged organization discussed above, this group is charged with facilitating the efforts to revitalize the center city. Their website is updated frequently.


MOVE HERE

www.southsideneighborhood.com - cool mixed use urban infill; won award from EPA for smart growth.

www.yostandlittle.com - I like their property searching tool. 27401 is the zipcode for downtown (but they don't offer much in the way of good downtown options other than governor's court--which you can check out at www.governorscourt.com)

www.smothersplacelofts.com - downtown loft development. First phase sold out almost immediately; new phases coming soon (and will hopefully be described in detail on their website).
