Snapshot: Woodmere Park

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.

I lived close to the Phillips Ave. Woodmere Park from 1956 til 1998 and I am not sure the photo was shot at the GBO Woodmere Park or maybe some other place. In 1968 GBO Woodmere Park was fully grassed, full of large trees and brick homes.
