Perfect Weather for a Pop Up PromenadesynerG’s young professionals, in collaboration with Downtown Greensboro, Inc. and the City of Greensboro, have created a Pop Up Promenade on February One Place between Greene Street and Davie Street. On Friday and Saturday nights from 6:00-11:00 pm in May and June the street will be transformed into an urban gathering place for people of all ages and backgrounds. The project began with young people painting February One Place with a green and orange hexagonal pattern that repeats the colors of the seats at the Woolworth lunch counter in the International Civil Rights Center and Museum. Now on Friday and Saturday nights Elm Street is blocked off, food trucks arrive, planters, tables and chairs come out, special lighting is turned on, and street performers start strutting their diverse stuff. There is no alternative but to relax and linger…
