I hate to be picky, but ...

Here's applauding the efforts to create an ACC Hall of Champions in Greensboro.
Who wouldn't?
The idea is as natural a fit for this city as the ACC's coveted men's basketball tournament.
Only, I wish the location for the proposed project were downtown, where it would help build critical mass (i.e., foot traffic and potential customers) for more shops, art galleries, restaurants and night spots.
How about the 5-acre site at Friendly and Church street,formerly owned by Duke Power but acquired last March for future development by the Weaver Foundation?
Not that I have any money or any clout or any say in the matter.

Agreed; downtown is a good place for the ACC museum to be. I think the Duke property may be "spoken for" and the needs of the museum need more land than is there. Yet I think they could have found downtown land walkable to the other attractions, like the new civil rights museum. Either way, it's good that it's going to be here in Greensboro.

You're right. Better here than, say, some distant hinterland like Charlotte or Raleigh -- if they can resolve the little matter of that $23 million price tag.
