Greensboro : North carolina

Greensboro is a medium sized city of 280,000 in northern North Carolina. It is considered one of the 3 cities in the Triad along with Winston-Salem and High Point. Greensboro has an active and well-diversified infrastructure with many big name companies located here. The city is known for it beauty, much of which came from the city's early success as a cotton and merchandising capital. Downtown life has improved with many restaurants, bars, and new projects like the New Bridge Park Park and Elon University Law School.  The ultra-modern Proximity Hotel and its solar panel clad exterior  are emblematic of the progressive nature of this city today. The Washington Post ran a wonderful "impulsive traveler" feature about a 2011 visit to Greensboro.

The Aycock neighborhood features large Queen Anne residences of the turn-of-the-twentieth century, as well as Foursquare, Craftsman, and Colonial Revival styles. Irving Park surrounds the Greensboro Country Club which was loosely modeled after Pinehurst and offers very gracious homes.
