Thank you for this. I'm relocating to Greensboro (from northern NJ) to work with my new employer (Kontoor), and you passed right by the headquarters! I'm so excited!
I remember Greensboro, the city that played a role in the sit ins of the Civil rights Era. I been to High Point before. Thank you for the tour video. I still love living in these little towns and I don't mind visiting the city. Reasons I don't want to live in these cities because of police brutality crime horn honking and drive by shootings. But Greensboro sure seems like a great city to visit.
Wow wow wow wow wow I really love and miss my city of my birth love Greensboro always have always will even though I've been around the world Greensboro will always be home!
I notice you didn’t go down Eugene street around the ballpark area which is where a lot of new developments are happening. Including the office building with the crane at 2:30 several highrises will be built in that area including a 28 story tower in the next construction lot beside the office building going up.
I am a 76 year resident of Greensboro, and 4 generations before that. I would encourage you to rethink your assessment. 50 years ago it was a great place to live and start a family. Today, however, it is plagued by gangs, and a runaway murder rate. The city management and government are more concerned with show than much else. It’s like an oil painting; you don’t see the brush strokes until you view it closely. To paraphrase our state motto to apply to Greensboro, it would go something like this; “ to seem rather than to be”. In short, save yourself the trip.
So accurate. Greensboro government cares more about building shit the average resident couldn’t afford to go to- and painting cutesy little hipster paintings on buildings than to make it a half decent city to actually live in.
@@robertellison4691 Crime rates have more to do with population density than anything else, and it's a problem every city has to one degree or another. There are MUCH worse cities for that than Greensboro, it really isn't that bad, especially compared to other cities. If you don't wanna be around any crime, go live on farmland where there are no neighbors 🤷
We used to have music, and that made Greensboro a special place for me. Now we don't have music because of the virus. Now its just Greensboro, Colleges, and People. No music. It feels like Footloose but instead of a crazy preacher guy stopping the locals from gathering and having fun, its the scary virus that you cant see and kills without mercy. I think Greensboro is a great representation of where the country was with textiles, how it is divided, and how structurally it is in need of repair and renovations, not gentrification. Just because the buildings are rebuilt or the houses are renovated does not mean the price should increase to live. If anything these apartments being built that are "more energy efficient" should cost less to live in, not more because you save in heating or cooling. We must all start with where we live and focus on helping each other and standing for one another, not against each other for our differences, but stand together for our similarities. We are all just trying to get through this thing called Life, wouldnt it be easier if we could see that and respect each other no matter what. Just my thoughts. Thanks for recording a drive through our lovely small city.
LeoNation 89 I’d say a good way to describe downtown Greensboro is more historically preserved than say Raleigh or Charlotte. That might be somewhat due to the area growing more slowly than those two cities. It’s a good place for someone looking for mid-sized city amenities without some of the growing pains of bigger N.C. cities.
Im thinking about coming there to live. How do you like it? Im coming from Missouri with my family. I work for First Student and see I can transfer there. How are the schools?
Thanks for watching. A newer version of this video is available here:

Thanks for the tour! I like Greensboro, so many cool murals and the weather is nice!

You're welcome and welcome to NC!

I go here all the time. It's a great place!

Its looks nice and quiet. Thinking about moving there.
A lot of memories!

I'll try to swing by there next time. I'll be recording some more areas around the Triad later this summer and the fall.
Mileage Mike I shot a driving video downtown you check it out.
But that’s my last one...that was a lot of work, more power to you bro.
Haha yeah it can be quite a bit of work for some places. Nice video btw.
Looks like this video was made on a Sunday morning during the Covid curfew.

50 years ago the Klan shot up east Greensboro and killed 4 people. Did you forget or don’t care. 27406
Agreed

The city is not plagued by a runaway murder rate. The average murder rate in Greensboro in the 1960's was double the average murder rate in the 2010's

I plan on relocating to Greensboro to live from Roanoke Virginia. Greensboro looks like a wonderful city.
Lol good luck. It ain't all that. Violence is growing here
Is Roanoke larger than Greensboro?
So, so many prettier areas. Take us for a ride through Friendly Center.
I lived there from 1966 to 1974 1 block from fisher Park on isabel street. Most of the places on your video wasn't there then
just like any other Carolina city they are all unique , beautiful , and great!!! Semi cities are cool
Very true
Nice drive....thanks.
Milagemike out of all the cities you have drive through in the Carolinas
which ones are your favorite? Give me a honest answer
So far:
1. Charlotte
2. Raleigh
3. Greenville, SC
Out of the small cities (less than 100K population) I liked Salisbury's downtown the most.
@@MileageMikeTravels that would be my order too! I enjoy your videos
@@MileageMikeTravels you didn't like Columbia's Downtown??
@@leonation89 It's fine, just not as much as those 3.
Sad to see Smiths diner close...:(. Interesting to see what downtown looks now..I try to stay away from it..also no parking hardly.
I lived
I lived in Greensboro all my life. We dont have jack. Texas got more stuff than we do and thats terrible.
Well what do you expect? You're in Texas lol.
What day of the week was this? #Greensboro
It was a Wednesday
Bro it's like most the college down here owns most of greensboro
Going there in a few weeks. How was your experience?

@@MileageMikeTravels true. Did it remind you of Augusta GA any?
LeoNation 89 not much. Greensboro looks and feels a lot larger. Though I’ve never spent much time in Augusta, just drove through a few times.
so mid i’m ready to flee the nest. i love the nature here tho always
update: left may of 2021, best decision ever made
where did you move to
This is where I live. What camera do u use. Great footage
An iPhone 8 Plus for that video.
Im thinking about coming there to live. How do you like it? Im coming from Missouri with my family. I work for First Student and see I can transfer there. How are the schools?
@@candicesimmons2999 The schools aren't great.
Greensboro NC is a beauty city. It’s downtown name is Downtown Community
❤🇺🇸❤
G boro is so small
What's your definition of small? Greensboro has a population of over 290k. U may as well say Augusta GA and Richmond VA is small too then.
LeoNation 89 to me, 290,000 is small. That’s just to me. and yes Augusta is VERY small to me too. So is Richmond
@@IONTHEPRODUCER I respect it, where you from?
LeoNation 89 originally from DC. Lived in NY for a bit. Now in Charlotte NC
@@IONTHEPRODUCER ahhh no wonder you say it's small lol. How you like Charlotte?
February, months before shit happened
.
Not my kind of place.
Vote out nancy Vaughan!
