Looks like the Carolina Theatre is undergoing a little renovation. I've always been impressed with the ornate interior. It was built in 1926 with about 2,000 seat. The Carolina Theatre will compliment the future 3, 000 seat Steven Tanger Center for the Performing Arts which will host Broadway shows and many other community and traveling events. Downtown Greensboro will have two large performing arts venues and about three smaller performing arts venues.
I drove by the performing arts center site and noticed there are some cranes there so it looks like we will be seeing it start rising from the ground soon.
They should be starting construction right about now. The developers said in September immediately after baseball season ends. We are right here at the end of September so we will see. It seems like its pretty common for developers not to start on schedule here lately though. I drove by there yesterday and no work has happened yet.
This video describes how far downtown has come better than I ever could. Pictures and videos are worth a thousand words. Love the music in the background
City leaders continue to talk about possible development on the News and Record property, everything from apartments to a skyscraper. The sale of newspaper printing facilities has become a trend including in North Carolina where similar sales have happened in Charlotte and Raleigh.
City council to consider closing part of February One Place to make way for the 6 story deck with the Westin on top. What doesn't make sense is they are talking about closing that portion of the street for the deck yet the article is saying there will be an elevated section over February One Place between the two halves of the deck. So are the permanently closing it for all traffic or just vehicle traffic?
I would at least keep it open for pedestrian traffic so there is a link between Davie Street and South Elm Street. Or is this just a temporary closure?
