Greensboro seems to be undecided if it wants to stay a small town or grow to have something to offer. It is green and has some park/recreation areas. It is very diverse in culture as well. Driving on I85, you would pass right by it, there is nothing to let you know that you are in/near or passing Greensboro.... only 1 exit has any restaurants or stores to show that you are near (in effect you are @ 5 miles from downtown at that point) not even a gas station.
The east side and directly south of downtown leave a lot to be desired. The city is moostly north and east of I85, but also west and other areas due to NC forced anexing you into the city mainly for tax income. Schools are fair, nothing special , some have the usual temporary trailers for students. The need something to set them apart from Charlotte and Raleigh before Greensboro will have it's own draw, I do not hate it here but given the chance again I would have choosen Raleigh or Charlotte, this area is too small town. It is growning and someday may come into it's own but for now it is as someone else said, boring.
