Not a bad town

Like most cities, it depends on where you live in Greensboro in terms of housing, crime, and so forth. Generally, the price of housing is reasonable when compared to other similar sized cities. As to the climate, the best time is the Fall and Spring. Summers can be humid and hot to the point of being brutal. Winters usually have regular welcome breaks from the cold. This year November and early December have been much colder than normal with long periods of incessant cold drizzling rain like it used to be when I was a kid here in the 60's. I hope it doesn't continue or I will be looking for a new place to live.
I am retired now and really can’t honestly address in detail the employment situation. However, as NC has essentially lost most of the furniture industry, the tobacco program and the textile industry, this state is still undergoing a transition period in its economy.
Greensboro is large enough to have most anything you want in terms of recreation, shopping and dining at least from the standpoint of a person my age (58) and one who has never lived in a really large city. Beaches are less than 4 hours away as are the mountains. Generally, it is not a bad town.
