Cultural medley
My mother was in town until yesterday evening, and in the week she was here, we did more fun things in Greensboro than in all the years I've lived here, practically. To wit: Last Thursday we saw "Rent" at the coliseum. Sunday afternoon we attended Nikki Giovanni's free poetry reading at the Carolina Theatre, and a few hours later we saw Polecat Creek's free concert at Center City Park. So next time you're sitting around bored, thinking there's nothing to do, or that you can't afford to do it, pick up Go Triad or go online and find something: There are lots of fun, free events all the time, but especially with the bicentennial happening. I tend to be a homebody, but I can honestly say I am so glad we went to everything we did. We were exhausted, but better off for it!
