Snapshot: 'Two dancing bears'
The News & Record has two main resources for old photos: A closet full of negatives and filing cabinets that hold mostly black-and-white prints. They are a gold mine for the historical, comical and just plain unusual moments in Greensboro’s history.
Each weekday in August, I’ll share a snap from the vault. There’s no rhyme or reason to the selections — they’re just photos that caught my eye. If you know more about what’s pictured, please share the details in the comments or e-mail me at michael.grossman@news-record.com.

"Nature Boy" Ric Flair was a regular at wrestling matches in the Greensboro Coliseum. One report on a 1976 fight between him and Dusty Rhodes referred to them as "two dancing bears." Not sure what I like more, Flair's vintage hair or the butterfly sewn onto his shorts. (Photo by Joseph Rodriguez)
And here's one of Rhodes from March 1976 after he "stole" Flair's championship belt. (Photo by Thomas Conway)
