The Torch Relay is one of several Greensboro Bicentennial Kick-Off events. The relay will touch our neighborhood in several spots, Tuesday, March 25, 4-7. Several Aycock neighbors will be running.
Relay begins at 4 p.m. at War Memorial Stadium at corner of Yanceyville and Lindsay streets. From there, the relay will wind through NC A& T and surrounding neighborhoods, before heading over to other northeast Greensboro neighborhoods, including the Cone Mills neighborhood.
Eventually, late in the route, the relay will head south on Summit, meeting up with Bessemer, where runners will head west, eventually taking a left (heading south) on Cypress Street (at Aycock Middle School). The relay will run the length of Cypress, crossing Yanceyville, dead-ending at Percy, cutting through Brandon to continue north on Chestnut to Hendrix, back to Yanceyville, back to Bessemer, crossing over the bridge, across Church and into Fisher Park!
I'm out of breath just mapping it!
Speaking of maps:
Be prepared to cheer on the relayers--or at least to slow down during your drive home Tuesday.

Mayoral Town Hall - Monday, February 11
The Greensboro Neighborhood Congress (GNC) will sponsor the first Town Hall for Greensboro Mayor Yvonne Johnson.
All residents are welcome to attend.
Time : Monday, February 11, 6:30 - 9:00pm
Location: Fellowship Hall at the corner of Friendly Avenue and Commerce Place in the West Market Street United Methodist Church building.
Mayor Johnson wants to hear from the residents of Greensboro and answer as many questions as she can during this meeting. Therefore, she will keep her prepared comments to a minimum and take written questions that are presented prior to the meeting and during the meeting. Marsh Prause, the Chair of the GNC Bylaws and Issues Committee will categorize and present the questions to Mayor Johnson.
It will be most helpful if as many questions as possible are received prior to the meeting. If you will send your questions to Donna Newton as soon as possible, we can begin organizing them now. Please also solicit questions from your neighborhoods. They can submit them directly to me at bdnewt@yahoo.com. Please enter Town Hall Questions in the subject line.
