The Haw River Ball Room

Sure, the Haw River Ball Room only has room for 700 but when you consider it was built upon the former Dye House of Saxapahaw’s Historic Cotton Mill with three levels, a riverside deck, a concessions bar and coffee shop, a full service stage and sound system, gorgeous historic detail, solar and geothermal power and an idyllic rural setting just minutes from Chapel Hill and with private money... Well one can't help but wonder why promoters of a Greensboro performing arts center never considered one of the much larger and quite vacant cotton mills still standing in Greensboro and saved us about $50 Million of a projected $60 to $78 Million Dollar price tag.

Do you have to be stupid to be a part of the elite 1% in Greensboro or are they really all Aliens allergic to Greensboro's municipal water?

Are you still wondering why despite $Millions spent in economic development in Greensboro the jobs are still going to Alamance County? It ain't rocket science, People, and you don't need to be Aliens to figure it out. Greensboro is dying at the hands of Robbie Perkins, Action Greensboro, Downtown Greensboro Inc., The Greensboro Partnership and the others whose jobs it is to improve our local economy.

And I've got plans to help you change it.
