Everything you need to know
Did you know that there's an old dynamite safe visible from South Elm Street?
Did you know that Richard Nixon was turned down for a job in Greensboro when he was a Duke law student in 1937?
Did you know that Richard's Wild Irish Rose was born here?
I learned all those things and more in this year's "Discover the Triad," the 168-page magazine inserted into today's paper. Designed as a year-round resource for residents, it is packed with virtually everthing you need to know about the Triad. The annual calendar alone is worth the price, but it is complemented by lists of churches, schools, golf courses, parks, swimming pools, galleries, clubs and theaters, among others. Need advice on where to take a business client for lunch, your wife for your anniversary or a place to eat at 2 a.m.? It's there. So are the histories of towns and counties in the region, a look at the economic climate and lots of ads.
It's an amazing effort by our entire staff. Particular recognition goes to editor Tom Taylor.

Did you know Ed Murrow was born in Guilford County?
(apologies for the repetition if this too is in "Discover The Triad", which works a lot better on paper than on web)

I didn't include it in the post because I already knew it, but it's there on page 42!
