Greensboro inked a success by landing the upcoming Skating Championships, announced recently. But the city missed an opportunity by not landing the Bicycling Hall of Fame, which decided to go west to Davis, Calif. Coverage from the N&R.
Is Greensboro ready for "prime time?" It manages to do a good job with the NCAA and ACC tournaments annually, despite the constant issues surrounding the Coliseum. But Hall of Fames and museums are high profile, notwithstanding the Civil Rights Museum on S. Elm. I contend we need to focus on our economy and clean our "house" up a little before we do any promoting. With Skip and Johnson and Bellamy-Small and Wells running the show locally, we don't exactly have the best ambassadors for Guilford County right now. And that's not a good thing with our area suffering with double-digit unemployment.
Just a thought...
