IFYI: Friday, June 14, 2013

Are you aware who started the first neighborhood night out in Greensboro? It was my mother, the year before National Night Out began nationwide. I'm sure there no record of it downtown even though Captain Ed Swing sent a dozen or so GPD officers by the house for fear a fight might break out between us and the crack dealers across the street as my brothers and I were directing guests to park their cars in the crack dealers' front yard but all in all it turned out to be a great night and the beginning of a great neighborhood tradition. Anyway, National Night Out Kickoff Parties and more in this week's IFYI from the Greensboro City Manager.
