What was once Cone Mills, Revolution Mill, stands to the northwest of Uptown Greensboro. The textile machines and textile workers have been replaced with offices, office workers, studios and artists but the red water tower and smoke stacks remain an Uptown landmark even if it is a few hundred feet outside the Uptown.
Uptown doesn't have a lot of the things most people consider to be landmarks-- maybe a few new landmarks should be added to the agenda at Uptown Greensboro Inc?
