Yet another Greensboro murder took place yesterday morning. We are on a roll.

Greensboro’s 3rd 2025 Homicide
It occurred this morning. That means we have had three homicides over five days since the New Year. At least it is no longer one daily. That is an improvement.
Greensboro: Two Homicides First Two Days of 2025
Here is the report for the second of the two. The first occurred on Lawndale Drive on New Year’s Day. At this rate, we would have 365 homicides this year. The perspective of one exalted city councilwoman: “As council members, we are really concerned. The Greensboro community has to think […]
Christmas Tragedy For Greensboro Police Family
What happened at the Lawndale Drive Food Lion was profoundly awful. Every time a policeman like Michael Horan responds to a call such as this, there can be enormous risk. We continue to appreciate insufficiently the danger they face on our behalf. In the vast majority of cases, we never […]
Greensboro City Council Getting Tougher On Homeless
A couple of interesting articles this past week discussed some newfound efforts on the part of the Greensboro City Council to tackle issues associated with the homeless.

Yvonne Johnson, RIP
The News and Record reports this morning the passing of Greensboro City Council member Yvonne Johnson at age 82. She had served three decades on the city council, interrupted briefly by a two-year hiatus after losing the mayoral election to Bill Knight 15 years ago. I suspect that she is […]

Over the last few weeks, we have seen two instances of the Guilford Board of County Commissioners take actions that reek of Greensboro corruption. The first was the proposal floated to build a new hockey arena. The second was reported in the Rhino Times yesterday. The commissioners voted to get […]

Of course, the Greensboro Coliseum is perfectly adequate for this purpose; so certain questions naturally arise. Why […]
Beating The Drum For Government Building A Pro Hockey Rink In Greensboro
I could scarcely believe it. The Rhino Times had an article yesterday about the fact that professional hockey is coming back to Greensboro. That is a good thing. I remember going to the games during the 1990’s at the Greensboro Coliseum when we had a “minor league” hockey franchise. What […]
Murder At Greensboro Homeless Center
The News and Record reports it took place in the parking lot directly outside the center. Recall that The Interactive Resource Center, funded by the City of Greensboro, has been the object of much concern recently for various reasons. This is a classic example of progressivism that poses as being […]
