Rashad Young and the High Point Market
Please go to our Opinion page to see my video interview with Greensboro's new city manager, Rashad Young.
It was taped Oct. 21, when Young had been on the job for less than a week, so it wasn't meant to dig down on major issues. Rather, it's intended to introduce you to Young, giving an idea of his personality and interests, and let you listen to his impressions of Greensboro and get some sense of his approach to managing.
Also worth watching is the High Point Market's video report of last month's event. It provides a look inside the showrooms, as well as all the facts, figures ... and spin.
Attendance was down about 20,000 from the 2006 high of 95,000, not surprising given the lagging economy. But Brian Casey makes a valid point that High Point is still the place where the industry's creative energy is generated -- a point I made in a column Oct. 21.
