Monday: Art News

Ambleside Gallery

There are quite a few great galleries in the city.

Also, there is always something new to explore and so many renowned and exciting artists to see and interact with.

And the “First Fridays” of each month are even better. Many galleries are open longer and have great entertainment while you browse the arts.   

However, the one gallery I like to go to a lot is the Ambleside Gallery, which has a distinguished owner, Jackson Mayshark.

This Gallery is part of the Make New Friends Today and Unique Tour for Teams & Events guided tours with Marion.

Crafted – The Art of Taco

Strolling through downtown Greensboro, whether during winter or daylight-saving time months, one place I often visit is Crafted – The Art of Taco.

Here, your palate can explore firsthand with a great spin on the street tacos and an excellent atmosphere inside and outside.

A meeting with friends there or just having a date night – this place is always the right place, and the food will not disappoint you.

Kris Fuller, the food empire mastermind behind this, always searches for the latest trends and improvements that could bring excitement to our city.

Wednesday: Architectural News

Sharon Graeber

Sharon Graeber is one of the black female pioneers as an architect, born and raised in Greensboro.

Her craftsmanship can be seen in quite a few buildings in and around Greensboro, showing that this woman has broken yet another glass ceiling.

One of her architectural projects in Greensboro, NC, is the Corbett Annex Recreation Center (pictured) on the campus of North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University (NC A&T).

Daylight Saving Time

It’s this time of the year – SPRING!

I don’t know about you, but I love Spring – the feeling that everything awakens and begins anew.

As a reminder, we will change the time again on Sunday, March 10, 2024, to Daylight Saving Time.

Do you know when the USA introduced the first Daylight Saving Time?

The Ohio Clock in the U.S. Capitol was turned forward for the country’s first Daylight Saving Time on March 31, 1918, by the former U.S. Senate's Sergeant at Arms, Charles Higgins.

Friday: Fun Weekend News

International Women’s Day

And on the same week, there is another day to celebrate this week. March 8, also known as International Women’s Day. It’s a globally celebrated holiday where women celebrate the beginnings of the women’s rights movement.

Since February 28, 1909, women have been trying to establish equal rights—it looks like this struggle is still ongoing. If you want to show solidarity, wear purple that day.

Conclusion

As you can see, it is a filled first week in March 2024 – so much to explore and learn and so many things to know and see.

I can’t wait for the days to be longer and warmer and get out there to find all those gems in the city to tell you more about… week after week after week.
