Most of the stores on South Elm were closed today. The few that were open seemed crowded with shoppers, and it looked like a busy shopping day elsewhere in GSO (traffic at Honey Baked Ham had the right southbound lane of Battleground backed up a couple of blocks). 

I get that downtown has a lot of family businesses and that people have other things to do on Christmas Eve, just saying that the money I wanted to spend with local merchants went to chain stores instead.

Yep! I have watched from my perch in the Lofts at Greensborough courts go in and come out of Design Archives all yesterday and today--satisfied they seemed. More downtown merchants need to follow Kit's example!

Between the undercapitalized louts and the self-entitled layabouts, downtown Greensboro gets an undeserved rep. Business has been brisk all day on State Street.
