This is not the official Uptown Greensboro website but after I learned about the idea I decided to take it on my own to promote the idea and become the voice of Uptown Greensboro-- the area that has always been my home. The logo is swiped from Uptown Greensboro Inc. and remains the property of Uptown Greensboro Inc. Should someone from Uptown Greensboro Inc. complain I'll give it back. Uptown Greensboro is and has been my family home since 1958 and it's my dream to turn around this long ignored part of Greensboro, North Carolina. Now, others are picking up the torch. As I've long been a bit of a small thorn in the side of some of Greensboro's elite I'm not sure how my efforts will be taken but just because I'm not a part of this effort and not involved in the management of Uptown Greensboro Inc., doesn't mean I can't be a booster and promoter of an idea that is good for my home.

The area shown on the map above is the area designated as Uptown Greensboro. As you can see it is situated to the north and east of Downtown Greensboro. No one pays me to do this and the opinions expressed here are my own unless I note otherwise but if you'd like to leave me a tip there's a Paypal button to the left of every page on this website.
What I will be doing here is promoting the idea of establishing an Uptown Greensboro commercial and mixed use district where small businesses can flourish and people know one another-- a thriving town within a city like this very neighborhood used to be when I was younger. If you run a business in the Uptown Greensboro neighborhood or have news about Uptown and would like me to tell my readers about your business or spread the news then click on over to my contact page and get in touch. I'm always happy to run my mouth or in this case, my fingers.
So what's in this for me? Nothing unless you donate or buy advertising. But I dream of finding a dirt cheap Uptown Greensboro location for the Carolina Motorcycle Cooperative that will soon be opening in nearby Burlington, NC. You see, motorcycles are my first love and making them more affordable is an idea I can get behind.
There are links in the sidebar and the top of every page to official Uptown Greensboro web pages and social media sites used by Uptown Greensboro Inc. Please "like" "thumbs up" "digg" "twit" and check them out.
The video bar at the right of the page will display the official Uptown Greensboro Youtube channel when I learn what that channel is. Until then it is keyworded, "uptown greensboro" and will display any YouTube video tagged as such. Many more features will be added in the coming days.
