City Of Greensboro IFYI:

Don't forget, because of National Night Out this coming Tuesday night, this week's City Council meeting will be on Monday night. Also, the residents of Northeast Greensboro have invited Greensboro Mayoral Candidate, George Hartzman to attend Greensboro's oldest night out gathering which predates National Night Out and Mr Hartzman has agreed to attend. The event is located in Textile Drive Park located at 2300 Textile Drive.

In case you are wondering, my mother founded Greensboro's first night out events and hosted them in our family's front yard for many years until the crowds began spilling into the streets before moving the event to the park. The event actually predates National Night Out and began as part of a very successful effort to drive crack dealers from the neighborhood when the Greensboro Police and Greensboro City Council refused any help. The neighborhood knows my mother as Ms Betty and Ms Betty, like myself, is fed up with the status quo. The neighbors actually manage the event now and when I mentioned I knew Mr Hartzman they extended the invitation.

In this weeks IFYI, get your shovel ready there's a lot of BS to bury.
