Snapshot: Bear on the run

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.

This black bear was spotted around the North Elm Street area near Moses Cone Hospital for several weeks in 1992 before it was finally tranquilized by animal control officers and captured. (Photo by H. Scott Hoffmann)
