Here's the elephant that lives in the parking lot of American Furniture Warehouse at 3900 High Point Road (near Merritt Drive): WITW%20elephant%20110708.jpg

WITW: The Friday reveal

To celebrate the completion of yet another World Series (congrats, Phillies!), I present to you an oversized baseball: WITW%20baseball1%20103108.jpg

Monday's shot was of one of those jumbo baseballs that hangs out by NewBridge Bank Park in downtown Greensboro. To the best of my knowledge, they don't actually use these particular baseballs in games. Though they should. That would rock. Read More

WITW: Oct. 27 edition

Sorry for the delay. The morning got busy, and then I had to cover the mad non-rush of crowds to this afternoon's Joe Biden rally. So. What in the world is this? WITW%20small%20102708.jpg

WITW: The rainy Friday reveal

Anyone who's out and about today, that's too bad. It's chilly and nasty out there, and I've had to venture out to take a picture (more on that in a bit) and cover a house fire. (Those folks are having a much worse day of it than me -- trust me.) For those of you still inside and tethered to the computer, here's the reveal of Monday's photo: WITW%20fishbones1%20101708.jpg

Yep, that's Fishbones, a restaurant and bar at the corner of Walker and South Elam avenues. No, as you can tell from the weather, that's not the picture I took today. Read More
