With an annual average attendance of 1.13 million and over 900 events every year, it is a major economic resource for the city. It was built in 1959 as the War Memorial Auditorium, and was renamed the Greensboro Coliseum in the 1960s. There are several different parts of the complex, including the coliseum, the War Memorial Auditorium, and the Special Events Center.<br /><br />Why is the coliseum in that specific location?<br />There was a large controversy over where to put the coliseum. McDaniel Lewis thought that one of the proposed sites at Lindsay and Forbis Streets (behind the Richardson Civic Center) was too small and did not have enough room for expansion. He also thought that it would not draw the crowds that they wanted because it was too close to the railroad. Now, the complex is considered a "major civic asset" and is a "splendid memorial to the servicemen".<br /><br /><br />With events ranging from teen pop superstars, to rap artists, to craft shows, to basketball games, the coliseum complex draws all sorts of people. Each specific center hosts a certain type of event.<br />The Greensboro Coliseum can seat up to 23,500 people, and can be configured for several different types of events, including concerts and sporting events. <br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.greensborocoliseum.com/images/full_size_seating_charts/basketball_large.gif"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 1102px; height: 801px;" src="http://www.greensborocoliseum.com/images/full_size_seating_charts/basketball_large.gif" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.greensborocoliseum.com/images/full_size_seating_charts/arena_endstage_large.gif"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 1106px; height: 790px;" src="http://www.greensborocoliseum.com/images/full_size_seating_charts/arena_endstage_large.gif" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjgmPESZrwoGme73U_g2J1Qgf6_KnLR_mFIF1Mhxe5VXmSqichYnvvWLReJBDz519YQ229AaKefQ9hkl1vaZLgM6RysXP4Po47w37FHsS_eN0vrwn_nqza8eIOxdMPud7zn68iFLSHWxM/s1600/arena.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 380px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjgmPESZrwoGme73U_g2J1Qgf6_KnLR_mFIF1Mhxe5VXmSqichYnvvWLReJBDz519YQ229AaKefQ9hkl1vaZLgM6RysXP4Po47w37FHsS_eN0vrwn_nqza8eIOxdMPud7zn68iFLSHWxM/s400/arena.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5409980988391989426" /></a><br /><br /><br />The War Memorial Auditorium can seat 2,400 people and hosts events like symphony concerts and plays. There have been motions to replace the Auditorium, but none have passed. I think this is because of the historical ties that the space has, and it is a strong memorial for those fallen in the wars.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.greensborocoliseum.com/images/full_size_seating_charts/war_memorial_large.gif"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 792px; height: 1224px;" src="http://www.greensborocoliseum.com/images/full_size_seating_charts/war_memorial_large.gif" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCFOolBEp9a63bKeElEis_D7OTmq8HJM0tdyQA2Ay0poo5WbW89p9-OPJJy3AC1t5-WpLxAimdq5grEArt1DqNDxDMlzqW5ogwNxfalEU-6YOxpRC4VEgzbagBQ5OfGxVGE9HtpLsrJco/s1600/seclr.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 380px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCFOolBEp9a63bKeElEis_D7OTmq8HJM0tdyQA2Ay0poo5WbW89p9-OPJJy3AC1t5-WpLxAimdq5grEArt1DqNDxDMlzqW5ogwNxfalEU-6YOxpRC4VEgzbagBQ5OfGxVGE9HtpLsrJco/s400/seclr.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5409981217707683170" /></a><br /><br />The Special Events Center has 167,000 square feet of space and often is host to graduations from surrounding schools and exhibitions. <br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.greensborocoliseum.com/images/full_size_seating_charts/sec_large.gif"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 679px; height: 778px;" src="http://www.greensborocoliseum.com/images/full_size_seating_charts/sec_large.gif" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-IjkdG_jyoxaGXzUMkpywTkhcZLoZA_y1b_Ld_BalV00mIpnMLcsGOJOt6H3aPamRRp4cyUVM7xa7iACDwa4eJTb2PRsq4m9rbGgyq3p7S6OPZ75v-ZLqemwHMIDqsOufHTD8u3tJHso/s1600/audlr.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 380px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-IjkdG_jyoxaGXzUMkpywTkhcZLoZA_y1b_Ld_BalV00mIpnMLcsGOJOt6H3aPamRRp4cyUVM7xa7iACDwa4eJTb2PRsq4m9rbGgyq3p7S6OPZ75v-ZLqemwHMIDqsOufHTD8u3tJHso/s400/audlr.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5409981213390178690" /></a><br /><br />What cultural and international ties does the complex have?<br />The coliseum complex offers events for everyone. They also bring events and performing artists that have traveled worldwide and are popular around the world.

History of initiatives passed to create the center?<br />I think that the new swim center will have a dramatic impact on the demographics of the audience at the coliseum complex. It will bring in a whole new group of visitors to see this different sporting event. I did not find any projections about how many people the swim center will hold, so I am unsure of the final increased capacity of the complex. Henri Fourrier, CEO of the Greensboro Area Convention and Visitors Bureau, said that "the aquatics center could have an annual economic impact of $14.5 million." It will be used to attract both major and local swim events. According to Butch Simmons, the city engineering and inspections director, engineers and staff members have made some cosmetic changes, like downgrading to less expensive building finishes inside and out and changing the type of heating and air conditioning planned for the building. “The only thing we used as a guiding post was we didn’t want to impact the integrity of the design of the pool system so it could be used as a venue to host national meets,” coliseum director Matt Brown said. According to the News and Record, the swim center still costs roughly $6 million more than the city has to spend. There are many ideas about how to pay for it, including using hotel room taxes to help.<br /><br />Pages and fact sheets from Entertainment Outlook, October 1984.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj59mqcyRGa4sNaKUQ4nJLlRqLyoU6BQex31rivZvD81S_1HPaUMbJmNlVn34FNS3pvtfdVGbAUH5NB2bSFzjolBL5eSwcms13k3afQK1oldqQ5Rs4GieiYEEY6I8R385MO_WdF5Rs2D-0/s1600/hpqscan0005.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 308px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj59mqcyRGa4sNaKUQ4nJLlRqLyoU6BQex31rivZvD81S_1HPaUMbJmNlVn34FNS3pvtfdVGbAUH5NB2bSFzjolBL5eSwcms13k3afQK1oldqQ5Rs4GieiYEEY6I8R385MO_WdF5Rs2D-0/s400/hpqscan0005.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5409987256413834786" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjM7k9GQf87Fl4uH8pmvvD_lWCDZ7l15oPE56NKkjwHbCvZi0fc6Y8yB1z4TkT7P5yRE3leLG_h93kMDSeCedizhrVc7IqCgFjJpb5n0KihxDFgXDDvWVwesalAdWXU5cOSjfSv5LHEipk/s1600/hpqscan0004.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 308px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjM7k9GQf87Fl4uH8pmvvD_lWCDZ7l15oPE56NKkjwHbCvZi0fc6Y8yB1z4TkT7P5yRE3leLG_h93kMDSeCedizhrVc7IqCgFjJpb5n0KihxDFgXDDvWVwesalAdWXU5cOSjfSv5LHEipk/s400/hpqscan0004.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5409987248894587826" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2KeflL6_dVE-GOolqbvmzd9cfUfXFvf_EZP8bQh419SRYxHK9Y5gHFKnA8xAHrn-8VgBM4CvVb6qqIR5DRtWxCCHre61Fh1g9UZDRLmqE2zGEjbiuHk-nXKT3K_a-07vqsMPb6n57byc/s1600/hpqscan0003.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 309px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2KeflL6_dVE-GOolqbvmzd9cfUfXFvf_EZP8bQh419SRYxHK9Y5gHFKnA8xAHrn-8VgBM4CvVb6qqIR5DRtWxCCHre61Fh1g9UZDRLmqE2zGEjbiuHk-nXKT3K_a-07vqsMPb6n57byc/s400/hpqscan0003.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5409987240745327602" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg3Rh0o0keOFLYsBED2qigp4FTLDhoHUE-sJb33jPI-R74glKNciWGdNbflmTUHkL0ysnLNZ3wKH8nWCH0NYgtOhhM0ubJ65KbC7lyBsUb86IZnU4qgX4-g2FPqN-xIW1mr3R-2Fywm0Gk/s1600/hpqscan0002.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 309px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg3Rh0o0keOFLYsBED2qigp4FTLDhoHUE-sJb33jPI-R74glKNciWGdNbflmTUHkL0ysnLNZ3wKH8nWCH0NYgtOhhM0ubJ65KbC7lyBsUb86IZnU4qgX4-g2FPqN-xIW1mr3R-2Fywm0Gk/s400/hpqscan0002.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5409987235157209666" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXTaBsGwvQIC3k5oOF-d3saBXPj_n2P6DgRFZ0Kyx5CafGmMJAeCGJ0jvXS-WjU9fLmq6n3UxtOhv-hwktqqysqfE-aCLcktsxTwMvsGpIA0seCCDQG9j_CQ9ZsTnAs7gGFz-BS6KojG4/s1600/hpqscan0001.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 308px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXTaBsGwvQIC3k5oOF-d3saBXPj_n2P6DgRFZ0Kyx5CafGmMJAeCGJ0jvXS-WjU9fLmq6n3UxtOhv-hwktqqysqfE-aCLcktsxTwMvsGpIA0seCCDQG9j_CQ9ZsTnAs7gGFz-BS6KojG4/s400/hpqscan0001.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5409987228280501746" /></a><br /><br />According to Grady Clay's vocabulary, the Greensboro Coliseum Complex is a vibrant center for the city. It brings everyone together to enjoy a performance, a graduation, a sporting event. It is along one of the major beats in the city: High Point Road/Lee Street. It draws people from all over to participate in an event together, and is a major economic resource for the city. I think that I was able to look at the complex from a different perspective than I would have before this class. I examined more in-depth and learned a lot more than I originally would have.Caitlin Gaulthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01269293118861948943noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4643554519588181205.post-38754973888823959182009-11-12T08:27:00.000-08:002009-11-12T08:35:16.224-08:00Review/ReflectionMy attitude and ability towards looking close at the American city has drastically changed from before. I now look closer at the architectural details of a building, and while I may not be able to tell you what time period it is from, I can think about what it looks similar to that we have seen over the semester. I can use Clay's vocabulary to better understand an area. I also feel as though I am able to better assess the values of a building or area. For example, the library that we visited values knowledge and personal growth, while the mall values an indoor space where people can gather and shop. I am better oriented in Greensboro. My family came up recently and I was able to navigate to where we wanted to go based on where we had been in class. I know more about the history of UNCG and Greensboro. Without having taken this class, I doubt that I would know that the clock tower is a stack of both time and memories, or that the Blandwood Mansion or Guilford Courthouse National Military Park even existed. I have learned to not take everything at face value, but rather to look deeper and see what is really there. <br /><br />For my final project, I am thinking about looking at the Greensboro Coliseum. I will look at the history of it, what it represents through Clay's vocabulary, and how it fits with the city and the surrounding area.Caitlin Gaulthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01269293118861948943noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4643554519588181205.post-53019373581062688802009-11-12T08:18:00.000-08:002009-11-12T08:27:21.442-08:00Open Space<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiazce0D2K5Sal0GQV7yZHzMzVd5Ngd53NfTBmT2h1uMMSkNrLdgM_Cp7SYXLL0SLgf2NwxGlor3H7nDRAM2EqL87zSeeQu2YzJliresdYOj_4zG0SKeeH96t6BqiUY9g573WXPV0XJYb4/s1600-h/IMG_0963.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiazce0D2K5Sal0GQV7yZHzMzVd5Ngd53NfTBmT2h1uMMSkNrLdgM_Cp7SYXLL0SLgf2NwxGlor3H7nDRAM2EqL87zSeeQu2YzJliresdYOj_4zG0SKeeH96t6BqiUY9g573WXPV0XJYb4/s320/IMG_0963.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5403254243661192434" /></a><br />After lunch, we traveled to Battleground Park, where a Revolutionary War battle was fought on March 15, 1781. Major General Nathanael Greene was defeated by the British army led by Lord Charles Cornwallis, but was successful in keeping his army strong. Now, the battleground has been preserved as the Guilford Courthouse National Military Park. The monuments placed around do fit with the open space because they are statues of some of the famous people in the battle. They also help provide some history about the battle. I think that the Greensboro organizers decided not to have the town be at the battle site because the place has historic presence. They don't want to build over it and lose the memories. It also shows that the town values open space and parks, allowing recreation and reflection for all who come. It is easy to have fun and learn the history at the same time.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisjA9ItDualhMWHbzfnpv8gdm_c-LmKN58OvDrRXUJdrYzOHCol-x3cZ_eVdusIrzDYhfUh6DMPg5Qf8Q4oakMt05I7_6XOR7EUYf_sl3WKcfBflJ-CcAVCA42VhKE4PpJRugTBrxveQg/s1600-h/IMG_0966.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisjA9ItDualhMWHbzfnpv8gdm_c-LmKN58OvDrRXUJdrYzOHCol-x3cZ_eVdusIrzDYhfUh6DMPg5Qf8Q4oakMt05I7_6XOR7EUYf_sl3WKcfBflJ-CcAVCA42VhKE4PpJRugTBrxveQg/s320/IMG_0966.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5403254255358951490" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjpnPdvP_o_2DjsuQxcx_3VWPKrfejPjRLGvFzH2nCKadWCEpLeKsdyMq0z4fiuwloztVfcQPtO5A5RTHoedKfiD7WE2BaxJOXvVDYaAXzF4q4yITrlcOgeVVkj-rhAzEbPBA-ZX5LG8Xk/s1600-h/IMG_0971.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjpnPdvP_o_2DjsuQxcx_3VWPKrfejPjRLGvFzH2nCKadWCEpLeKsdyMq0z4fiuwloztVfcQPtO5A5RTHoedKfiD7WE2BaxJOXvVDYaAXzF4q4yITrlcOgeVVkj-rhAzEbPBA-ZX5LG8Xk/s320/IMG_0971.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5403254271630497954" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCXVAUACV8p_iTkROx6BAMGTAyAAPqnWw5E36uigFwT37EmAZrJVwyWYJI0w3fYTGdbRbaqpjyzP7YIyP6dYrD_UlChdUU4uY-zXBDCbVeFnBkq4dST2TTNHvWfiGQtp7atEhyfrK6TTQ/s1600-h/IMG_0968.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCXVAUACV8p_iTkROx6BAMGTAyAAPqnWw5E36uigFwT37EmAZrJVwyWYJI0w3fYTGdbRbaqpjyzP7YIyP6dYrD_UlChdUU4uY-zXBDCbVeFnBkq4dST2TTNHvWfiGQtp7atEhyfrK6TTQ/s320/IMG_0968.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5403254263089183346" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBtWfFV5UQxQn1OQJleyoyKSCpR9nJ18gSCcU_KmDw3iYVUzJpK9A8-aWBn_2pMuQc-tPzl_XPtSyreMoPNUfAysLEJOKxGoPw-YDOb4lQBzIisaAs1yfCOIUVooMAOTErcc1ZQCUu8_g/s1600-h/IMG_0964.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBtWfFV5UQxQn1OQJleyoyKSCpR9nJ18gSCcU_KmDw3iYVUzJpK9A8-aWBn_2pMuQc-tPzl_XPtSyreMoPNUfAysLEJOKxGoPw-YDOb4lQBzIisaAs1yfCOIUVooMAOTErcc1ZQCUu8_g/s320/IMG_0964.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5403254253266234226" /></a>Caitlin Gaulthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01269293118861948943noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4643554519588181205.post-1844967697647432932009-11-12T07:46:00.000-08:002009-11-12T08:18:16.556-08:00Residential<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8B7p9s45oUUKkhyphenhyphenEqm_8ueZ8MQeh-6mtv1EE6_Ua1GHOkuBi8pftpRjPLIWEkZgqEmQO_p8daz3CDkz7-Wr8JcQfFSk90Fs7rQgcXsCXCSiQTfWl8baVCKQh7EccOOs2_sxjEeu_7IWM/s1600-h/IMG_0927.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8B7p9s45oUUKkhyphenhyphenEqm_8ueZ8MQeh-6mtv1EE6_Ua1GHOkuBi8pftpRjPLIWEkZgqEmQO_p8daz3CDkz7-Wr8JcQfFSk90Fs7rQgcXsCXCSiQTfWl8baVCKQh7EccOOs2_sxjEeu_7IWM/s320/IMG_0927.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5403246938592414322" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrfbr4DxebX36J3a0rFcJnKsg-2zXxprHNgLmhswTlpeCIXcFo64gsuO4Dv2EywgQPW-AanxeQRCL05WxqnEmSuhvppanPaFXMUOOpFKX84l69F6TZbx3Lpdrve330dCVkNqyf5BwHmx0/s1600-h/IMG_0925.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrfbr4DxebX36J3a0rFcJnKsg-2zXxprHNgLmhswTlpeCIXcFo64gsuO4Dv2EywgQPW-AanxeQRCL05WxqnEmSuhvppanPaFXMUOOpFKX84l69F6TZbx3Lpdrve330dCVkNqyf5BwHmx0/s320/IMG_0925.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5403246929838429682" /></a><br />The mills.<br /><br /><br /><br />We visited the mill village outside of White Oak Mill. This area was owned by the Cone family, who decided to open textile mills. The houses are all of the same basic structure, but most of the residents have added on things. They all have a center chimney and the same layout inside. In this area, the streets are numbered and grid-like. There are no sidewalks, which seems to say that they are more work-oriented, and an outside space to socialize was not needed. They value practicality and hard work. <br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEguR9j0b_FugVMy0oOGqOSydREdGNYsiSKN8b0VF_Rw5r6UmVR7KzKs_OrgsQkTRCA6NF_a-VLhoeiITh27Ac3cXeVtRAYhOI0zauSSO9VQrZANYCak27pB4-LnmjtOshiTcXtYhz0M2Hw/s1600-h/IMG_0934.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEguR9j0b_FugVMy0oOGqOSydREdGNYsiSKN8b0VF_Rw5r6UmVR7KzKs_OrgsQkTRCA6NF_a-VLhoeiITh27Ac3cXeVtRAYhOI0zauSSO9VQrZANYCak27pB4-LnmjtOshiTcXtYhz0M2Hw/s320/IMG_0934.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5403246942092932210" /></a><br />This area is like a miniature town set inside of Greensboro. Back when the mill was in use, there were other buildings like churches and possibly some businesses. There are also not many old trees, signifying that it was not valued when the houses were built. This area has a more open feel, and the houses are further apart than those in College Hill and COllege Park. Near the houses are the Masonic and Baptist Churches, and the Presbyterian church with the attached graveyard. The Cone family has an area sectioned off in this graveyard for their family members. <br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6aPie_1A1jfBVxWtqgtlw4isS07B-WI20j55z8ZO4OFAR9IiGz_HSSd79iRovKCjPLYGhvwBFNING0Ya3x2RZeg4I0_bqgP_1IDb2zxn0tFrrtGtQt8o9sCOIA8vHjdA4nXkECq3WZj4/s1600-h/IMG_0935.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6aPie_1A1jfBVxWtqgtlw4isS07B-WI20j55z8ZO4OFAR9IiGz_HSSd79iRovKCjPLYGhvwBFNING0Ya3x2RZeg4I0_bqgP_1IDb2zxn0tFrrtGtQt8o9sCOIA8vHjdA4nXkECq3WZj4/s320/IMG_0935.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5403246947891660594" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPSOsotT9I0PjGtFtKt6dhYtKI3_udpmIE4wcT_UvkWHFM3ILJrT3T9hSOeNmk2BG737oyIaqVXYeQ8zuVRE7qlbU8Jl8jfhmKZATpC3SvB0mXJMN8FF_dJv6Inl8iHCRmHaa4BPtJfxA/s1600-h/IMG_0938.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPSOsotT9I0PjGtFtKt6dhYtKI3_udpmIE4wcT_UvkWHFM3ILJrT3T9hSOeNmk2BG737oyIaqVXYeQ8zuVRE7qlbU8Jl8jfhmKZATpC3SvB0mXJMN8FF_dJv6Inl8iHCRmHaa4BPtJfxA/s320/IMG_0938.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5403246952491278898" /></a><br /><br />Another residential area that we visited was the Loewenstein Residence, where we had lunch. The current residents, the Levy's, are related to the Cone family, and the house was designed for Jane's father. There is a lot of open space, and it has a blend of inside and outside throughout the house. There are lots of windows, and it seems to maximize the natural light coming in. There is a long hallway between the public and private areas of the house. It was a very interesting residence, and I felt as though I could've lived there without anyone ever knowing that I was there. :) There were also some unique outdoor art pieces, like the pearl necklace and the airplane.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdmYcSLA4MuyJS4P0D9MiQsnhyrV3_gM8DZfxrdkHp3B5-taWQ2TKPE90Lzmq_7gfr1GjwvajGKYNPXYJ9-SupEry8phT9f91bBY_e-pmUKS1ri_BSojmT7Jkw-3N9fNsv8-V0rUEvGA4/s1600-h/IMG_0942.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdmYcSLA4MuyJS4P0D9MiQsnhyrV3_gM8DZfxrdkHp3B5-taWQ2TKPE90Lzmq_7gfr1GjwvajGKYNPXYJ9-SupEry8phT9f91bBY_e-pmUKS1ri_BSojmT7Jkw-3N9fNsv8-V0rUEvGA4/s320/IMG_0942.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5403249482237117730" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSpWnZ7D3ySbU4ksWN7a7GMmVhcNXV70Bysibwg7U8qBZXm92MclB3LlbwA5nZO09vq4vRtHXNqzWhnqP6obOj0LswOesM5tox65KDFuP47RVxjhsZ3-bmOh5oIrKQauBR2ZCCbrvZCw4/s1600-h/IMG_0945.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSpWnZ7D3ySbU4ksWN7a7GMmVhcNXV70Bysibwg7U8qBZXm92MclB3LlbwA5nZO09vq4vRtHXNqzWhnqP6obOj0LswOesM5tox65KDFuP47RVxjhsZ3-bmOh5oIrKQauBR2ZCCbrvZCw4/s320/IMG_0945.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5403249484437644658" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiawg1DGUd4Hxk_yK1_BUccmQdLbEuLCRKJduLPSTEk27PdMMsl132BzEzhSiJs5aRM6vLIZXzLuiEI1SbFar7h88HRq1z_sPxOCWli8lIjGqET100-aT2yHJPjBfnUbU30Qj1NeGnDJpQ/s1600-h/IMG_0947.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiawg1DGUd4Hxk_yK1_BUccmQdLbEuLCRKJduLPSTEk27PdMMsl132BzEzhSiJs5aRM6vLIZXzLuiEI1SbFar7h88HRq1z_sPxOCWli8lIjGqET100-aT2yHJPjBfnUbU30Qj1NeGnDJpQ/s320/IMG_0947.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5403249493863309522" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-iRfCfejg71kcMG5LuXwU7VehRM8xsXqCIG8HRS7g8zQj__Sf_wj1WEcXoYjOHliuK2736EEqMZituYzbObECgTMoFMPg53dpE__y2PsrjEP9RfGZN7zmDzK5_ao02LK9Awg9M3tI0nw/s1600-h/IMG_0939.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-iRfCfejg71kcMG5LuXwU7VehRM8xsXqCIG8HRS7g8zQj__Sf_wj1WEcXoYjOHliuK2736EEqMZituYzbObECgTMoFMPg53dpE__y2PsrjEP9RfGZN7zmDzK5_ao02LK9Awg9M3tI0nw/s320/IMG_0939.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5403249471995834610" /></a>Caitlin Gaulthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01269293118861948943noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4643554519588181205.post-38991374006728009992009-11-12T07:26:00.000-08:002009-11-12T07:46:19.394-08:00RoadwayAs we were on the interstate from High Point Road to Wendover, I noticed a few things.

After the numerous car dealerships, there were more retail and industrial-type buildings. Then it turned to more residential, with a school, businesses, and houses as we were headed towards the mills. The area didn't seem as nice or upscale as other parts that we had seen. Some of the businesses that I saw were Office Depot, Costco, The Shoppes at Wendover Village (Petco, A.C. Moore, etc.), Gamestop, Wells Fargo Financial, Rooms To Go Kids, Verizon, and FedEx Kinkos.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgWdQCg-Lszvsl3H6mkB-RAC6VwmQr94nUkTri04NB3TIv4SCt-bAgL6j5JxMDx4yo7a5nSE1FB2JFSO5XODXPtnKgg2W_Y_iF5TWQfYXf7pS8vd_KdhGH4cMNbK-25EnWuLprpuRz1Zk/s1600-h/IMG_0895.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgWdQCg-Lszvsl3H6mkB-RAC6VwmQr94nUkTri04NB3TIv4SCt-bAgL6j5JxMDx4yo7a5nSE1FB2JFSO5XODXPtnKgg2W_Y_iF5TWQfYXf7pS8vd_KdhGH4cMNbK-25EnWuLprpuRz1Zk/s320/IMG_0895.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5403241491320900226" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhz5U7KjVeKG0vAZUpmESPJVqmwPIREykKLv7OgZ7xy3vP6bNK0I67rIsZVefMbs6eoZYFGhxDWrUI6GPhyNXMNclDm3Y333J7BsAiREkMWFb9YCAg_g6m2Hzp7XVlGSorGsEnUJ2Wvw7g/s1600-h/IMG_0888.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhz5U7KjVeKG0vAZUpmESPJVqmwPIREykKLv7OgZ7xy3vP6bNK0I67rIsZVefMbs6eoZYFGhxDWrUI6GPhyNXMNclDm3Y333J7BsAiREkMWFb9YCAg_g6m2Hzp7XVlGSorGsEnUJ2Wvw7g/s320/IMG_0888.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5403241486778682818" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggn2E1zreWlrrPLkx7gGkmD-Km-s8_GtXLDS8EAvggZSsFokkNfuevNJKle-f4geX7ECoqtO5LofD8ApYTT4WywbcajBSsAwJ6cuY9-4m-wwE6pz2Xxe3ACGI5ISdH2d-9YuCHP0sQkzY/s1600-h/IMG_0883.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggn2E1zreWlrrPLkx7gGkmD-Km-s8_GtXLDS8EAvggZSsFokkNfuevNJKle-f4geX7ECoqtO5LofD8ApYTT4WywbcajBSsAwJ6cuY9-4m-wwE6pz2Xxe3ACGI5ISdH2d-9YuCHP0sQkzY/s320/IMG_0883.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5403241485622754482" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOzJ8LYa_wnRQneEHkXsjCRwhWim1Ihb4OzIqKeyCyCGCrxbeOXmEciA2bs7DUY3oe5qYcmDjIdCAorxmOfNjnvkRD6l6_RsvSpKLPDM9odBRJ9pRd2XXKQtYlNgar-hM2N7pcAnY6-_8/s1600-h/IMG_0904.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOzJ8LYa_wnRQneEHkXsjCRwhWim1Ihb4OzIqKeyCyCGCrxbeOXmEciA2bs7DUY3oe5qYcmDjIdCAorxmOfNjnvkRD6l6_RsvSpKLPDM9odBRJ9pRd2XXKQtYlNgar-hM2N7pcAnY6-_8/s320/IMG_0904.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5403243555867210098" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhpJ_tuN5Jc0_gjg58jzqHZkL5gyS5LM7hfy27dDNVgnw4zD_dV-nvbv7G2Uqk4XwAvgSefkPe6heVfQlQscSwX9f_orfTRM1tEwKHYEfY3gdipB4PADzRqtbst7U8e7otKYNm3Rzg0foc/s1600-h/IMG_0899.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhpJ_tuN5Jc0_gjg58jzqHZkL5gyS5LM7hfy27dDNVgnw4zD_dV-nvbv7G2Uqk4XwAvgSefkPe6heVfQlQscSwX9f_orfTRM1tEwKHYEfY3gdipB4PADzRqtbst7U8e7otKYNm3Rzg0foc/s320/IMG_0899.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5403243547364270002" /></a><br /><br />While driving along Battleground Avenue, I saw even more retail.

We went to both parts of the Friendly Center and Four Seasons Mall.<br /><br />The mid-century Friendly Center has mostly retail stores, with several specialty stores and restaurants. We started our day off at Caribou Coffee and were asked to walk around the area and observe the different types of stores and who they seemed to serve demographically. I think that this area of the Friendly Center serves from college-aged to middle-aged upper working class people. Most of the stores are fairly inexpensive (compared to the ones in the other part of Friendly Center), and there seems to be something for everyone. There is an abundance of parking in the area, with both parking spots in front of the stores and lots out in the empty space. There are pedestrian crosswalks connecting these lots at several points, and they seem very pro-pedestrian. I think the values and goals of this area are to attract more people and be more family-friendly. It is close to many neighborhoods, but not very close to the interstate.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjybBMQjewXVXm_8v9eyxYmEkrkv-o68DgUbReGSgskzhWOsfrWLrj85ecPdpa-P4qZOMwgl7ww4UrlHGgLCSrLj_UrUv5IaGrMRuXyKrPkKPTN6Xjp3drW9U77FbrWPtnABTalQkYh0oY/s1600-h/IMG_0854.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjybBMQjewXVXm_8v9eyxYmEkrkv-o68DgUbReGSgskzhWOsfrWLrj85ecPdpa-P4qZOMwgl7ww4UrlHGgLCSrLj_UrUv5IaGrMRuXyKrPkKPTN6Xjp3drW9U77FbrWPtnABTalQkYh0oY/s320/IMG_0854.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5403238216637470562" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj05vxmZUsr1kfRExc1b7Cd-M5GOO90I0oBZcHzy1ZG0aaKj2ng19v2mGJrCWVFjfSRI_lErcNmyUs_j0XkNdmtW33Bdkifkwjv-vaRlroZuqK1DQ73rNlb7UVb7_N0J5rrT7JB1LGj__8/s1600-h/IMG_0859.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj05vxmZUsr1kfRExc1b7Cd-M5GOO90I0oBZcHzy1ZG0aaKj2ng19v2mGJrCWVFjfSRI_lErcNmyUs_j0XkNdmtW33Bdkifkwjv-vaRlroZuqK1DQ73rNlb7UVb7_N0J5rrT7JB1LGj__8/s320/IMG_0859.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5403238222856126178" /></a><br /><br />Next, we went to Four Seasons Mall. This is a 3 story mall with tons of stores. While walking around, I observed several different types of stores, kiosks, and eating areas. There is the food court, which offers a cheap option while shopping, or the restaurants, like Ruby Tuesdays. The mall in general seems to be a little less or right at the same level of price as the first part of the Friendly Center. It caters to more groups of people with the variety of stores. It values accessibilty with it's location and the fact that it is enclosed. It has more space to come and hang out than the Friendly Center. The mall isn't close to many neighborhoods, but is very close to the interstate. It is also close to the shopping strips along Lee St. <br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgsNsgozBgs0xWB8u3KMz6HKDJAzI8kq_fQg4sxSARmcXWVXt4pSOJq2Kja9F3A7qH_awBA31UfHlWYyQixaMMVgdwVKT84HLmB6fG8Ks1VRNaD6L-mXehddhtoeDolNArxuRQYwiEAsW0/s1600-h/IMG_0862.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgsNsgozBgs0xWB8u3KMz6HKDJAzI8kq_fQg4sxSARmcXWVXt4pSOJq2Kja9F3A7qH_awBA31UfHlWYyQixaMMVgdwVKT84HLmB6fG8Ks1VRNaD6L-mXehddhtoeDolNArxuRQYwiEAsW0/s320/IMG_0862.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5403238229766779122" /></a><br /><br />In the afternoon, we went back to the Friendly Center, but this time visited the lifestyle area. This area includes stores such as Apple, Anthropologie, Coldwater Creek, and White House Black Market. Overall, there are more upper-class and high-scale stores. This area is definitely for those who have a little bit more money to spend. There is more noticable security to protect these businesses. They also seem to value decoration and uniqueness, possibly to attract more customers. There was also an interesting open space where a performance was going on while we were there. This shows the interests in drawing in people and being unique from the other section of the Friendly Center.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhoH6BBL7vtyaH2l1-eep75LQ9SGGaGfrweCa1VLWEWhYODy99bdprkRDiDV2ga-nS2FWfE22gfzAxG-yFGC0_ea0xF-YsKJM9tK7odX40gBzLswB9vAcYabR2_ai9Xn3BGlJiQ5CVSBCc/s1600-h/IMG_0977.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhoH6BBL7vtyaH2l1-eep75LQ9SGGaGfrweCa1VLWEWhYODy99bdprkRDiDV2ga-nS2FWfE22gfzAxG-yFGC0_ea0xF-YsKJM9tK7odX40gBzLswB9vAcYabR2_ai9Xn3BGlJiQ5CVSBCc/s320/IMG_0977.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5403238230466301618" /></a>Caitlin Gaulthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01269293118861948943noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4643554519588181205.post-91901092380845313402009-11-02T12:31:00.000-08:002009-11-02T12:49:29.356-08:00On the Other Side of the TracksFor class on Thursday, we were supposed to fill out a form that listed the street numbers and businesses and then compare it to the lists that we had from 1925, 1975, and 2000. One thing that I noticed a lot of was "not listed" buildings. When going through the directories for the previous years, there were several buildings that weren't listed. It didn't say that they were vacant, but didn't have anyting for them at all. I think that at least for some of them, the buildings were knocked down to make way for the streets, but there were some that wouldn't be listed in 1975 but were listed in 2000 and 2009. <br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOi0PXoBmQBySSrapSz1hURDhpTJYyUVeYKSRAg_PB-5lRv_fEZUVMnPs61exEUfmJREapBC05Cd7Jov4p3NJM7dAiTyDjMwy0xcCM240tinviNU2qxF6ZDyxqeqkpj89nSLF1pV-zYCc/s1600-h/SANY0015.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOi0PXoBmQBySSrapSz1hURDhpTJYyUVeYKSRAg_PB-5lRv_fEZUVMnPs61exEUfmJREapBC05Cd7Jov4p3NJM7dAiTyDjMwy0xcCM240tinviNU2qxF6ZDyxqeqkpj89nSLF1pV-zYCc/s320/SANY0015.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5399608961921245426" /></a><br />Where a building used to be now runs a road.<br /><br />Another pattern that I noticed was buildings having the same business located in them for a long period of time. Some examples are The Economy Store/Lion's Crown Antiques, Southern Railway Company, Kindley's Used Office Furniture, and Coe Grocery and Seed Company. I think that these businesses have survived for so long because they appealed to the needs of the community throughout time. The railroad company has stayed because the railroad is still used and somewhat popular in Greensboro. Other stores like Coe Grocery and Kindley's Used Office Furniture may have carried popular or necessary products which allowed them to survive. <br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiA3Xj0aHfY2OJwYvMS7ba_JG8MHYfhtb2QIda9PB-Osw5SpfmoaPePgPDKh17PC3Y3EpXaz2QGGlHAYO24skUlji2M7NHKApveS0CiV0w4RLe2DkVqhZJGznFNGzBAK5UPd6i_tDpKQSA/s1600-h/SANY0033.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiA3Xj0aHfY2OJwYvMS7ba_JG8MHYfhtb2QIda9PB-Osw5SpfmoaPePgPDKh17PC3Y3EpXaz2QGGlHAYO24skUlji2M7NHKApveS0CiV0w4RLe2DkVqhZJGznFNGzBAK5UPd6i_tDpKQSA/s320/SANY0033.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5399608977400030338" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhh3eqVtnZ6cedVocCsT2KX_q1RFVlDfaV6sWpfPq6C0DoIqUVGPqu3zrA7Z48TjRljbYL8wYBTUnuCYQ6HS49AkJy7gjBcQUWOhpRblLYljUghap5W9FeohMuHLqlLXnR064pvkdP8dLI/s1600-h/SANY0018.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhh3eqVtnZ6cedVocCsT2KX_q1RFVlDfaV6sWpfPq6C0DoIqUVGPqu3zrA7Z48TjRljbYL8wYBTUnuCYQ6HS49AkJy7gjBcQUWOhpRblLYljUghap5W9FeohMuHLqlLXnR064pvkdP8dLI/s320/SANY0018.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5399608967559392738" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7u53-PirDAl4RuHtGLLMSZUdhvw5vdPsVI1wD7eJObxY4SszqzUPDxjOmIhZ-gk2zs8W6jmgy0VY_zOdKHz_xCetQUJj4taHApUZ2Fkmhs-UWhrn16oR_8Urm8Dvs-uMmYYwIDNyGwBA/s1600-h/SANY0009.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7u53-PirDAl4RuHtGLLMSZUdhvw5vdPsVI1wD7eJObxY4SszqzUPDxjOmIhZ-gk2zs8W6jmgy0VY_zOdKHz_xCetQUJj4taHApUZ2Fkmhs-UWhrn16oR_8Urm8Dvs-uMmYYwIDNyGwBA/s320/SANY0009.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5399608954584382050" /></a><br /><br />Another pattern that I saw was the presence of several antique stores.

This suggests that it is a popular business in Greensboro and that there is a need for several stores.Caitlin Gaulthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01269293118861948943noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4643554519588181205.post-36549677928380835022009-10-28T23:49:00.000-07:002009-10-29T22:50:25.951-07:00Tracing the Tracks<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhOxNUhmeuTUVUxostUu4vAsroy0dKC9j44kqNrftgRkpYXwlsC6NMr1LoSspdyEUAG7yvpR-P10w_Tvuct7ZaV6O0a0QzvIdN0VBro1zOcXU577Q6Fe6ywFJdI3eT54xonomBkpLjpL_Q/s1600-h/100_0615.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhOxNUhmeuTUVUxostUu4vAsroy0dKC9j44kqNrftgRkpYXwlsC6NMr1LoSspdyEUAG7yvpR-P10w_Tvuct7ZaV6O0a0QzvIdN0VBro1zOcXU577Q6Fe6ywFJdI3eT54xonomBkpLjpL_Q/s320/100_0615.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5398265465846696514" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEizGkP-Mm-4zQDSKBnlZFF-r4lVrzn5zWXmflXtncOLz5UNk2-LUbCCX__ZnyY0rXMQap-z2KmAiXwTg3uKrkGcHHdAI36mFXU7bR7NKD-Miq1s5tnZNOUGD6G18Z4oC6uq-6k9wLOt0Ys/s1600-h/100_0626.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEizGkP-Mm-4zQDSKBnlZFF-r4lVrzn5zWXmflXtncOLz5UNk2-LUbCCX__ZnyY0rXMQap-z2KmAiXwTg3uKrkGcHHdAI36mFXU7bR7NKD-Miq1s5tnZNOUGD6G18Z4oC6uq-6k9wLOt0Ys/s320/100_0626.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5398265472081783378" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7BruTer20M-J7G6FwCSHBB7tOTvbctcb3MMY_55fHvSKlUY4GPY6wZMmB7fboNO_hLPm9Jxz_gNAU0cdlQ1BogigCxLWpIte6LpGbH238cEA_AKdvlFVzBNhLjpvz7AIHKA5PB-CedbA/s1600-h/100_0631.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7BruTer20M-J7G6FwCSHBB7tOTvbctcb3MMY_55fHvSKlUY4GPY6wZMmB7fboNO_hLPm9Jxz_gNAU0cdlQ1BogigCxLWpIte6LpGbH238cEA_AKdvlFVzBNhLjpvz7AIHKA5PB-CedbA/s320/100_0631.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5398265474383510498" /></a><br />The train is very important to the city of Greensboro. It was brought here by Morehead, who thought that the train would bring people to Greensboro and I guess in turn bring about more businesses. At it's peak of service, there were 90-120 trains coming through Greensboro every day. There are also spur lines that serve the industrial areas of the city. Now, there aren't as many trains that come through Greensboro, but it is still a very cost-effective method of travel. My friends and I rode a train from Charlotte to Durham last year and it was $46 total (combining trip there and back). You just can't travel that cheap when driving anymore. <br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2Hjw8B60BbY5uUaTOmFqE2A-C4SPM_kOQvqIvMLGzTcBxDHd19uINAnYMnltMJo7AkeKad5aKR-2LEUIVVaxjDMH5JZmewLg8AhG2L2R9JC_edYsfKpz2lrSGzRXVXx3srCq7zS_7A54/s1600-h/100_0634.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2Hjw8B60BbY5uUaTOmFqE2A-C4SPM_kOQvqIvMLGzTcBxDHd19uINAnYMnltMJo7AkeKad5aKR-2LEUIVVaxjDMH5JZmewLg8AhG2L2R9JC_edYsfKpz2lrSGzRXVXx3srCq7zS_7A54/s320/100_0634.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5398265480798107554" /></a><br /><br />The interstates also make Greensboro a gateway to the Triad. Looking at the map at the link below from Google Maps, you can see all of the highways and interstates that come through Guilford County, like 40, 85, and 73. For me personally, I take 85 all the way from my hometown straight to Greensboro. It is a very easy trip to make and makes it quick and simple to get to and from school. The interstates have really helped Greensboro develop because there are so many different ways to get here. The interstates also create a need for businesses because of the volume of people that come through here. <br /><br />An international airport also brings a lot of people to the Triad. I looked at a few different sources and found differing numbers of the direct flights, but from the site <a href="https://www.flyfrompti.com/gee/doc/flights_sept_09.pdf"></a>, there are 59 direct flights from the Piedmont International Airport, including Charlotte, Houston, and Miami. Another site, <a href="http://www.dohop.com/travel-guide/Piedmont-Triad-International-Airport-GSO/"></a>, gave a larger number of direct flights from PTI. I also found conflicting information about the international flights coming to/going from PTI. Some of the places that I know for sure of are Canada and Germany. <br /><br />The gateway for immigrants:<br />I went to a Human Rights Week event today and they said that the reason why Greensboro is a good spot for immigration entry is because of the interstate systems, so I guess that it makes sense for immigrants coming to the Triad as well. There is a lot of evidence showing non-Western European culture in the community.<br />-Greensboro Buddhist Center 2715 Liberty Rd. <br /> http://www.news-record.com/content/2007/10/07/article/simply_letting_go<br />-Saffron Indian Cuisine 1500 Mill St. <br /> http://www.saffronindiancuisine.com/<br />-Jack's Corner Mediterranean Deli <br />-The Greensboro Cultural Center has a lot of information about many different cultures that are represented in Greensboro. <br /> http://www.greensboro-nc.gov/Departments/Executive/events/hosting/culturalcenter/<br />-African American Atelier <br /> http://www.africanamericanatelier.org/Caitlin Gaulthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01269293118861948943noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4643554519588181205.post-13120306780516049702009-10-24T10:47:00.000-07:002009-10-24T11:16:23.789-07:00Downtown InstitutionsWhy is it significant that an open space (the park) is reserved in the city where it is? It is near the cultural attractions, where large groups of people would come to visit and maybe need a spot to congregate. It adds to the value of the "artsy" area, and is surrounded by big buildings. From centercitypark.org : The park represents the "city as an open and welcoming place of diverse people", and is a "relaxed and lively" space.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYUR5yDkhgw2hg-RsUKbiHvL20X_BOrlRf5lUKUP7gYeh99yhhZgn7x4Gjnlob3Cj6yfA5cP_g7Ct6udBG34Fr_DgUjqSrV448lbGW6Fek18QjG2OLPZm9-601M8TLaGWff9pTRL7l1TE/s1600-h/100_0576.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYUR5yDkhgw2hg-RsUKbiHvL20X_BOrlRf5lUKUP7gYeh99yhhZgn7x4Gjnlob3Cj6yfA5cP_g7Ct6udBG34Fr_DgUjqSrV448lbGW6Fek18QjG2OLPZm9-601M8TLaGWff9pTRL7l1TE/s320/100_0576.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5396229922405195266" /></a><br />The park.<br /><br /><br /><br />How does the "avenue" of the Cultural Center speak to greater issues in the community about access to the arts? The "avenue" makes the arts literally accessible to everyone with the 2 entrances. It seems to be almost an informal, but inviting space, somewhat like walking down a road. It shows how the city is eager to extend the arts to everyone.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEio8GLmYaZblbVaU_eJ2nHJCvZamhpHjD-ssrdIoknANIJRSVmvqFF2q_F7eRfShXD6Eavg8K3IoG7JoU2CTl7hleYmqck2PpxAvFKWDkTRfO5Ax__S3DEXvjCTEU_G21sdZFnJfYGBxsA/s1600-h/100_0606.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEio8GLmYaZblbVaU_eJ2nHJCvZamhpHjD-ssrdIoknANIJRSVmvqFF2q_F7eRfShXD6Eavg8K3IoG7JoU2CTl7hleYmqck2PpxAvFKWDkTRfO5Ax__S3DEXvjCTEU_G21sdZFnJfYGBxsA/s320/100_0606.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5396229944065266610" /></a><br />The Cultural Center.<br /><br /><br /><br />What is the meaning of the dome in the Central Library?

The building would obviously need a lot of restoration in order to make it functional as a museum.

The new library seems more modern and the building itself is more stream-lined. The old library, which is now Elon Law School, was right in the middle of downtown, which makes it not as easily accessible for those who are driving. The new library, if I'm remembering correctly, has parking beside the building and is further away from the center of downtown. <br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjyrLT4Tckz5TLIGULweupz4zGFl8sAVMIJyoQogZxgTP3RzxP6lpNmx-wMlHr-psJrBArSDz1xDtJ9p4zp8emMV3QEIfdooBhA6dIQN0FHO48HFgWglIje4ZI3J4-0og4iCbvX7oXacoY/s1600-h/100_0607.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 307px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjyrLT4Tckz5TLIGULweupz4zGFl8sAVMIJyoQogZxgTP3RzxP6lpNmx-wMlHr-psJrBArSDz1xDtJ9p4zp8emMV3QEIfdooBhA6dIQN0FHO48HFgWglIje4ZI3J4-0og4iCbvX7oXacoY/s320/100_0607.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5396230510904393490" /></a><br />Old library, now Elon Law School.<br /><br /><br /><br />How do each of the buildings we visited today meet the street? Are there public spaces along the fronts or the interiors of these buildings? The library has a lot of open space along the front and sides of it, with a lot of space right inside. The cultural center has space inside, with it's "avenue" layout. The museum has a lot of space out front for people to gather. I'm not exactly sure what is being asked by public space inside, because all of these buildings are big with lobbies inside, but would they want people to congregate there? I personally wouldn't think so. It would cause congestion and make it hard to get in/out of the doors. <br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgpnco4HcRqb7rMLOuhSBaJo1suYJQ53ov1UzprUfrY4__j4yYsliwKPSicSiJmwt6CsT3KXwTh3Yc-xo7q1gYQEWgDnCyF6-XQr_jKtxxMMwmyhS3AHLm3aRs2kt0PRUY0UNykPIKb628/s1600-h/100_0603.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgpnco4HcRqb7rMLOuhSBaJo1suYJQ53ov1UzprUfrY4__j4yYsliwKPSicSiJmwt6CsT3KXwTh3Yc-xo7q1gYQEWgDnCyF6-XQr_jKtxxMMwmyhS3AHLm3aRs2kt0PRUY0UNykPIKb628/s320/100_0603.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5396229937139015202" /></a><br />Walking in front of the new library.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgsdg-BvRJX00HvAPfqAckyaa9Qtrlku7VZSYBEwlT-xUDpUr3xo43gQl7O2foAZDIhA3lzojEgYOZuJpqtbmynKEaQabBhpUzITIgqn_CNHZWqlm8zgSPrS3XeaEtf2ixtMjhRl_SVEeg/s1600-h/100_0610.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgsdg-BvRJX00HvAPfqAckyaa9Qtrlku7VZSYBEwlT-xUDpUr3xo43gQl7O2foAZDIhA3lzojEgYOZuJpqtbmynKEaQabBhpUzITIgqn_CNHZWqlm8zgSPrS3XeaEtf2ixtMjhRl_SVEeg/s320/100_0610.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5396230514816462866" /></a><br />A car parked in front of the Elon Law School. :)Caitlin Gaulthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01269293118861948943noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4643554519588181205.post-3935972473859863132009-10-21T12:19:00.000-07:002009-10-21T14:04:20.728-07:00Back to the Center<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivth1dpTZMRUm6nkI3eC1W62ikyjATRlEAdsHkd0mwGasuGIbeSG3ndelu4JFTS3eAmxNX_CAJC565wYQ_2f_T1iAz8lQrB8qtWMqpKawYvSaRHuyLI0NQRo5G6PfsgkBizdQG6y2skKM/s1600-h/100_0500.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivth1dpTZMRUm6nkI3eC1W62ikyjATRlEAdsHkd0mwGasuGIbeSG3ndelu4JFTS3eAmxNX_CAJC565wYQ_2f_T1iAz8lQrB8qtWMqpKawYvSaRHuyLI0NQRo5G6PfsgkBizdQG6y2skKM/s320/100_0500.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5395159391938290594" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgeM876E0GB-IfY3H4dFvpm5aJhpGuK2SbiTgYBNE_IKM7cTyKJN61tI7zeU38aF4xkRfSfIRO91-sPMWkib9PzcKCW6-yYsCRtu2__lryjmhqCYrn54iK5YXkU19Lht0f8R1gc33XbTFY/s1600-h/100_0501.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgeM876E0GB-IfY3H4dFvpm5aJhpGuK2SbiTgYBNE_IKM7cTyKJN61tI7zeU38aF4xkRfSfIRO91-sPMWkib9PzcKCW6-yYsCRtu2__lryjmhqCYrn54iK5YXkU19Lht0f8R1gc33XbTFY/s320/100_0501.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5395159383285603074" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZ5EA0sJ6Sc_L5euoOk5ze4qdOvt2wMV3E0Ss_fXbObqen3lKE91A17wM5d1dWvhtWhdCuNhgZiED4wunfeI9OKjcSgyH4f6shnwzDRa7GzQYUvGgDRI3t5EmjYbcxWY4zm884j2896_g/s1600-h/100_0508.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZ5EA0sJ6Sc_L5euoOk5ze4qdOvt2wMV3E0Ss_fXbObqen3lKE91A17wM5d1dWvhtWhdCuNhgZiED4wunfeI9OKjcSgyH4f6shnwzDRa7GzQYUvGgDRI3t5EmjYbcxWY4zm884j2896_g/s320/100_0508.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5395147731912944018" /></a><br />I personally think that these buildings present a front. They are the buildings along the street corners at the center of downtown. They include the City Health Club, a bank, and the skyscraper that is being worked on. They present a front to each section of downtown, which could be divided into 4 quadrants: government, art/history, business, and retail. This front is like many of the other ones that we have seen: a strong presentation from the buildings along an "edge" of an area. <br />Each of the 4 quadrants could be considered an epitome district because they are sections of the campus that are a small representation of what the entire city is like. They are small groups of similar things (like stores or government buildings) that are close together.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWHIHxvPbJSv6wLUV8ZKYv_EbriyEwvekWEmsYdDlAHKeH_bxhLf_YwqmIXeT_dbtbX3TARiF2l016UII8I3I2-1vRsy-fFZn7RvBTxU53eb1StX6n2tc21umgSM2u43MpjaluaG2GIps/s1600-h/100_0529.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWHIHxvPbJSv6wLUV8ZKYv_EbriyEwvekWEmsYdDlAHKeH_bxhLf_YwqmIXeT_dbtbX3TARiF2l016UII8I3I2-1vRsy-fFZn7RvBTxU53eb1StX6n2tc21umgSM2u43MpjaluaG2GIps/s320/100_0529.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5395150390033215026" /></a><br />This alleyway is a beat.

Many of the beats that students take from off-campus housing to get to campus involve alleyways or back roads like this.

It is on what is known as the retail street, where most of the stores are. Other buildings along this strip are Woolworth's, a theater, and Kress. It reminded me a lot of what we saw on Tate Street, but on a much larger scale. <br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_5vOryvEgxJNcNicEGG3lEtSaH_cn3Eq7epboI2hBgbf-_sFIq6Ezq6svjYNvVX9McUa-UueUadCJ8oS0fJadfqV-D1lWOCDBwDPcC__bNCik89Uz0lR5oc_NhL8LOHqr4X8HGWcZeII/s1600-h/100_0522.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_5vOryvEgxJNcNicEGG3lEtSaH_cn3Eq7epboI2hBgbf-_sFIq6Ezq6svjYNvVX9McUa-UueUadCJ8oS0fJadfqV-D1lWOCDBwDPcC__bNCik89Uz0lR5oc_NhL8LOHqr4X8HGWcZeII/s320/100_0522.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5395147722851998802" /></a><br />This alley is a sink because it is where water is running off of a building and nothing else can be put there. It is in between 2 buildings that are probably 3 feet apart. I think they put in the iron gate and the cool run-off in order to beautify the area more and even draw the eye to it as someone walks past. This sink is a lot more attractive than the sinks in College Hill. There were many alleys between streets that were eyesores. This kind of artwork is a neat idea to help mask the potential ugliness of a drain. <br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGnwvbdEdFttNK05dqMSPGXvc4_u-Ynsm1G_Kcc-bsXx21Cz2Y8oShz6Dp-K7N7KjKHS0MvECsEcyMECb1UWYc8BhKKDngMUPN6S4rtu2D713HtjkU3dycaUeHbnJCrIhvRAotTpn-sno/s1600-h/100_0552.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGnwvbdEdFttNK05dqMSPGXvc4_u-Ynsm1G_Kcc-bsXx21Cz2Y8oShz6Dp-K7N7KjKHS0MvECsEcyMECb1UWYc8BhKKDngMUPN6S4rtu2D713HtjkU3dycaUeHbnJCrIhvRAotTpn-sno/s320/100_0552.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5395147717649911890" /></a><br />This whole area of buildings is a stack. They are all government buildings, with the county building, the courthouse, and the jail. They aren't very attractive buildings, but what can you do? These buildings aren't very decorated, but plain and industrial-looking. It is a stack because they are "stacks" of government activity and are somewhat on the outskirts of downtown. A stack that we've previously seen was the smokestack beside the building on campus. It was also on the edge of campus like these buildings are on the edge of downtown.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjnbAeeGpa1TwfpjBQTMYLCpFqrwpNNPxrhWKo6i9mzkdlKcRwicQqzxdGed2e7iLVNNeyLliqFZOwq2sjZzI3Xlv37HqA8i4rzNNKcRavqxD3kSIiI2jg5s4I5e6LeLC-GgTIxyUyF2tY/s1600-h/100_0527.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjnbAeeGpa1TwfpjBQTMYLCpFqrwpNNPxrhWKo6i9mzkdlKcRwicQqzxdGed2e7iLVNNeyLliqFZOwq2sjZzI3Xlv37HqA8i4rzNNKcRavqxD3kSIiI2jg5s4I5e6LeLC-GgTIxyUyF2tY/s320/100_0527.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5395155083342506946" /></a><br />What a great way to claim your turf: a No Trespassing sign. They want your business during the day, but want you to not loiter at night. I guess that this is a good idea because of all the valuables inside the store. Having a crowd in front of the store at night is just asking for trouble. This reminded me a lot of the No Parking signs in College Hill. They are very quick to claim their territory and state who can do what and where. <br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVoA4t8ycQRQDnPolYnsCCgIT7KCmDt0UfHpqRzrQ5MRevHfC9zWkHaQmJrw7guybqaEhf5cmob6WnQOFHOZw4QEsNCXfFQ_R3bJp8IkUQagCsxBeJNk26lJmT2pKaiah-DYPbgUDJFuM/s1600-h/100_0546.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVoA4t8ycQRQDnPolYnsCCgIT7KCmDt0UfHpqRzrQ5MRevHfC9zWkHaQmJrw7guybqaEhf5cmob6WnQOFHOZw4QEsNCXfFQ_R3bJp8IkUQagCsxBeJNk26lJmT2pKaiah-DYPbgUDJFuM/s320/100_0546.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5395150401177057490" /></a><br />Good ole Nathaniel Greene.Caitlin Gaulthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01269293118861948943noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4643554519588181205.post-39419481772593216182009-10-09T16:25:00.000-07:002009-10-12T19:41:32.330-07:00BlandwoodToday we went to the historic Blandwood Mansion, which was the home of former NC Governor, John Motley Morehead. It was expanded twice, once in the 1820s and again in 1844-1846. It is the oldest standing example of Italianate architecture in the United States and has elements like stucco exterior and a low roofline. The railroad runs through what used to be an edge of the property because Morehead thought that North Carolina needed to be more connected and was very influential in getting the railroad to pass through legislation. <br /><br />One of the questions that we were asked to think about is: What are the implications of adding a new face twice to the original house?<br /><br />First off, adding on/rebuilding anything costs a lot of money. The fact that they changed the house significantly twice in almost 30 years says that the family definitely had some money to throw around. That could give off feelings to the town population that the family living there is more concerned about how their house looks rather than the well-being of the town. Second, changing the face of the house would probably involve some serious reconstruction to update it to the modern style of the time, considering that the popular styles were so drastically different. A quirk that you can see on the outside of the house is the seam where the 2 parts of the house meet. You often run in to trouble like this when trying to add on/redo a house, because unless the work is perfect, things won't always match up exactly.<br /><br />Some of the expensive things inside the house, like the silver set, the chandelier, and the ornate decorations on the ceiling.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiawfbgOsrv4TYOByfgBLMB1OVa7AUn9dCncNPnCzcWVWJKuXhdqUeg_LmjwER3KjvHsXVxoiRrBeu58Jz3Bqe8jf12UGXXVRL3jQmUXFJYgAs9GA8rXW7CHFz9GAvdoT4lI6vt7vmYDGU/s1600-h/100_0454.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 232px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiawfbgOsrv4TYOByfgBLMB1OVa7AUn9dCncNPnCzcWVWJKuXhdqUeg_LmjwER3KjvHsXVxoiRrBeu58Jz3Bqe8jf12UGXXVRL3jQmUXFJYgAs9GA8rXW7CHFz9GAvdoT4lI6vt7vmYDGU/s320/100_0454.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5391766584108647570" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjOsKCIznHk9oSEa7Rpfe9UTgcuhI3xIv1qbEAB5U3DXuJXePDOrigkWQ9i8CpAM6DSD3yuLXEmJD_vf5Ou4HU6V5lQPdTMGW-uDFyk9aX7FkQAFQAcnvjKroOHkHnBAqMN6PXAoejbYMo/s1600-h/100_0452.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; curs<br />or:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjOsKCIznHk9oSEa7Rpfe9UTgcuhI3xIv1qbEAB5U3DXuJXePDOrigkWQ9i8CpAM6DSD3yuLXEmJD_vf5Ou4HU6V5lQPdTMGW-uDFyk9aX7FkQAFQAcnvjKroOHkHnBAqMN6PXAoejbYMo/s320/100_0452.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5391766578269329074" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiMln3EGg5Wt4cZVmZQYsajkbm8yb22lh_LcEQZrDzJ_9qTK-GrEba02_98P1dShXQpZUSEA60gF2Sup43-r1OvclejMHx0QrS0Pj7u7JcCm7NHNh0TWtumyhZclVu6KsEMwt29R0LwabE/s1600-h/100_0450.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiMln3EGg5Wt4cZVmZQYsajkbm8yb22lh_LcEQZrDzJ_9qTK-GrEba02_98P1dShXQpZUSEA60gF2Sup43-r1OvclejMHx0QrS0Pj7u7JcCm7NHNh0TWtumyhZclVu6KsEMwt29R0LwabE/s320/100_0450.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5391766570154023954" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjlU8K4u5hKZt_LgmbFrAjn4LL1dMd1XN5pQUOXa-rsB5HrDbak3EAyHwJZ2ks8IlcaCqYTXKc1gIz5xtYw62kYuscn1QIkqoV84CSAFiDLSPwpRer_LdnKMKFCe5WH7v5ikBBnd_1U5Lo/s1600-h/100_0449.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 274px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjlU8K4u5hKZt_LgmbFrAjn4LL1dMd1XN5pQUOXa-rsB5HrDbak3EAyHwJZ2ks8IlcaCqYTXKc1gIz5xtYw62kYuscn1QIkqoV84CSAFiDLSPwpRer_LdnKMKFCe5WH7v5ikBBnd_1U5Lo/s320/100_0449.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5391766558800054130" /></a><br /><br />Why do you think the family found it necessary to continue updating the structure? <br />The most obvious answer that I can think of for this is to continue to make it better. As more family members moved into the house, there were different needs and things were changed/added to accommodate those needs. Also, as new inventions were being rapidly produced, it made sense to update the house to make it easier to live in.<br /><br />The bed and cradle in the children's room.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkmsei8aI3T_lPR_aG1FkDIEm3sTxZdl2dDNvM-0w4wHA-cB803WszpsFfO2LfZEm3v8Pl7B4awG3Glh9ITvquEZPyIjkLdrjUkO6Pg2b2-8oxZ8WLtDL-2cLgK9xRkMPu_cgyBodbRF4/s1600-h/100_0462.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkmsei8aI3T_lPR_aG1FkDIEm3sTxZdl2dDNvM-0w4wHA-cB803WszpsFfO2LfZEm3v8Pl7B4awG3Glh9ITvquEZPyIjkLdrjUkO6Pg2b2-8oxZ8WLtDL-2cLgK9xRkMPu_cgyBodbRF4/s320/100_0462.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5391774130183707970" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJRPYlBiBglvRFjAQ9gzwdaLW8HRmRJfpZ7E7DHIBfx4i0LbdwC4DTMEFfGp3LeBerJV4w3WOongbIt63yj_D3W2lUPjGjTDFk-IgTPP8m7HWJvDjQSyQbK3RNWI-6Rn1W70c3tlSgnOU/s1600-h/100_0461.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJRPYlBiBglvRFjAQ9gzwdaLW8HRmRJfpZ7E7DHIBfx4i0LbdwC4DTMEFfGp3LeBerJV4w3WOongbIt63yj_D3W2lUPjGjTDFk-IgTPP8m7HWJvDjQSyQbK3RNWI-6Rn1W70c3tlSgnOU/s320/100_0461.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5391766591667215250" /></a><br /><br />What do you think people said about this new-fangled, fancy house on the edge of town?<br />I imagine that people were very unsure about this house because it is foreboding and completely different than anything they would've seen before. Everything back then was probably mostly farmland with somewhat small houses, and then this mansion gets built. It also doesn't fit in with the style of the time and is very stark compared to the other houses back then.<br /><br />I really enjoyed the tour of the Blandwood Mansion. I learned a lot about historic Greensboro and saw some really interesting things, like the original pieces of furniture and the law office outside. I wish that we hadn't been so short for time so that we could've talked more about the history and architecture of the time.<br /><br />Some of the stuff out in the law office: a model of the house, a map of the trains running through NC and SC, and a smoking chair with a spot to store your tobacco paraphernalia. <br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjsKbA4Oa6CAEaG2ReGZHKJ8vVLgkd0YlbFbDjivL72pKJE6avnrpPsG0ADGxqGKxglDC9yw-adYBU3fJ6gNbMZM1PUiJKPfyTB5ZZz8otDGvoCsaprH2dwpP_8371yEH5fmWz_n4A5OGc/s1600-h/100_0467.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjsKbA4Oa6CAEaG2ReGZHKJ8vVLgkd0YlbFbDjivL72pKJE6avnrpPsG0ADGxqGKxglDC9yw-adYBU3fJ6gNbMZM1PUiJKPfyTB5ZZz8otDGvoCsaprH2dwpP_8371yEH5fmWz_n4A5OGc/s320/100_0467.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5391774158547702130" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgT-nbd6m63zCJbbj_w8YS9CynqX9IUhAHgJtY3GRgQAf2A7Sbl1TcVre4gZRo3UgCpPBjOhYYPTl1cveFOvTmeqcFN5i-kl_VDceHMSTgWQgfDCdgzQCkS9fzS3rAsqqnJsT7HRXQYOwU/s1600-h/100_0472.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgT-nbd6m63zCJbbj_w8YS9CynqX9IUhAHgJtY3GRgQAf2A7Sbl1TcVre4gZRo3UgCpPBjOhYYPTl1cveFOvTmeqcFN5i-kl_VDceHMSTgWQgfDCdgzQCkS9fzS3rAsqqnJsT7HRXQYOwU/s320/100_0472.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5391774148686190706" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVm51rG_j_FYUTh9dU08bO8bn1PqhRsWD8zSEDksOapYFLO70tXG1o6NIARGyUfecu6h8I9IZ7c9c8l7G4RsFv2VzrYJINb5rS3OD6HAfXHeTlA05xP3Kjm_tboHu4Jv3rzkdQyTZe0FA/s1600-h/100_0470.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVm51rG_j_FYUTh9dU08bO8bn1PqhRsWD8zSEDksOapYFLO70tXG1o6NIARGyUfecu6h8I9IZ7c9c8l7G4RsFv2VzrYJINb5rS3OD6HAfXHeTlA05xP3Kjm_tboHu4Jv3rzkdQyTZe0FA/s320/100_0470.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5391774141146839122" /></a><br /><br />The big tree outside.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEji6pPdN3qbr72bTyhM1e8QiRGeBT5eW8oVUsH6715rHagB-qJggXvHp5_WL6G-wkSrpdKMUegDiXxAYxBseuUlwWgZTy0r3k_ixXGpdDR6WejSXGLJdCglp_K9YUxW9-FrdKTAPD2dOds/s1600-h/100_0475.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEji6pPdN3qbr72bTyhM1e8QiRGeBT5eW8oVUsH6715rHagB-qJggXvHp5_WL6G-wkSrpdKMUegDiXxAYxBseuUlwWgZTy0r3k_ixXGpdDR6WejSXGLJdCglp_K9YUxW9-FrdKTAPD2dOds/s320/100_0475.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5391774165318100946" /></a>Caitlin Gaulthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01269293118861948943noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4643554519588181205.post-60361946107558585172009-10-05T11:42:00.000-07:002009-10-06T05:29:10.057-07:00The full blog is on Taylor's blog, http://hss105taylor.blogspot.com/<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Observations about the commercial area in College Hill:<br /><br />As you walk right across campus, it seems to look nice (around Jack's and Walgreens), but as you move further out, the appearance goes down some (around the apartments).

My friends and I often have trouble figuring out what we want to do in the evenings and on the weekends, and there is really not that much close by. Maybe we just don’t know about the happening spots in Greensboro yet, but it seems almost deserted on the weekends. I think that something close to campus that provides entertainment for college students would be nice. I think that maybe a small movie theater or a pool.<br /><br />Another option for the buildings would be to put some sort of grocery store in there. It would make a good profit because it would be close to the college students who don’t live on campus and probably don’t have a meal plan; therefore they cook their own meals. Even the students who live on campus would enjoy a grocery store close by, because who doesn’t need snacks every once in awhile? I’m not sure if the existing buildings could be converted into a grocery store with all of the building and safety codes in place now, but it would be a good use of what is already there if that were possible. <br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi9mNsik0BSmhiEeUHKOTUigg_1yeBxHzjgbct1p9acGnnTfMZsrLX_9Gbn3WvVRQYrCK9zqgAp4ELM06Ib8Ug6AtHxM0MaZKNmSXRjy1_3DiHxftjzUlSrB6ZCkAqVs8rM0Up6G-lyC4Y/s1600-h/100_0383.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi9mNsik0BSmhiEeUHKOTUigg_1yeBxHzjgbct1p9acGnnTfMZsrLX_9Gbn3WvVRQYrCK9zqgAp4ELM06Ib8Ug6AtHxM0MaZKNmSXRjy1_3DiHxftjzUlSrB6ZCkAqVs8rM0Up6G-lyC4Y/s320/100_0383.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5387363906951868706" /></a><br /><br />A third option would be to simply knock them down and build a parking lot. I know that this isn’t a very original idea, or something that would make the neighborhood look better, but parking is a serious problem in this neighborhood. For a more aesthetically pleasing idea, they could put stores in some of the buildings and convert the rest to parking.<br /><br />I think that any of these 3 ideas would add to the neighborhood, because it all includes something that would be new to the area. I know that there are stores around the College Hill neighborhood, but they could add things that seem to be needed in the area, like a grocery store, or a movie store, or a post office. There are so many different stores that could go in here that would add to the neighborhood. We are all about wanting things to be accessible to us, and driving far away to get something we need is not a popular decision. It would also be to everyone’s benefit to do SOMETHING with these buildings because they are in walking distance of campus and the surrounding residences. Doing anything with these buildings would make the neighborhood better because they are a little creepy right now. Even in the daylight, I would not want to walk past them by myself because they are huge buildings with the doors open and a few people inside. They also pose a big safety concern for children. Children are naturally curious, and no instructions not to go there would stop them. They could be seriously injured or even killed if the doors are left open on these buildings and they wander in there. I also think that making the industrial buildings into stores would improve the area because in walking past them and under the bridge, I saw several broken bottles and other potentially hazardous things just lying around. If this area got more traffic, it would be a cleaner and safer area. <br />Potentially hazardous places around the industrial area. <br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9m7VX-Y40makrgFF9O6HVeX5x_aWl9ibHFPGcaWdAhT0liooS5Npl5udVtYZbb7bxzyVv6SBa3V7RahqXyeSI520wPU_YeuAPo3dISbg2UnLmYKgDFmqF3tjqJ11HkRH9FgyWhUGF8lk/s1600-h/100_0376.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9m7VX-Y40makrgFF9O6HVeX5x_aWl9ibHFPGcaWdAhT0liooS5Npl5udVtYZbb7bxzyVv6SBa3V7RahqXyeSI520wPU_YeuAPo3dISbg2UnLmYKgDFmqF3tjqJ11HkRH9FgyWhUGF8lk/s320/100_0376.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5387363900860758034" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjsxaJq0NCW_-CBt6XBNKSzCHnboN_8lcNAPxkhi6lW4yx304wiQCXDdTZ7W4UCoLITYVcOQShWgoXNH9Dv3Dx-P2_-K76tPoc-6I9-hHbm4Jtfhgy213Osv1cEU-DgiiUyhUxkF-jmiog/s1600-h/100_0364.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjsxaJq0NCW_-CBt6XBNKSzCHnboN_8lcNAPxkhi6lW4yx304wiQCXDdTZ7W4UCoLITYVcOQShWgoXNH9Dv3Dx-P2_-K76tPoc-6I9-hHbm4Jtfhgy213Osv1cEU-DgiiUyhUxkF-jmiog/s320/100_0364.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5387362063804120514" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdAvItm7Fz05PjoQI4y5vHxr1dcRskdoNehV0JexaqlAwCr_e0Of0k5l2Dk1FBGsBOuJE-lXNXU5Y9LfKkoFTKcMC4Z53Hj9Q7DOorxzngUOPtCJhEVWyg8pIDgW-iLqCENpwH7ZyDB28/s1600-h/100_0367.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdAvItm7Fz05PjoQI4y5vHxr1dcRskdoNehV0JexaqlAwCr_e0Of0k5l2Dk1FBGsBOuJE-lXNXU5Y9LfKkoFTKcMC4Z53Hj9Q7DOorxzngUOPtCJhEVWyg8pIDgW-iLqCENpwH7ZyDB28/s320/100_0367.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5387363887096723074" /></a>Caitlin Gaulthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01269293118861948943noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4643554519588181205.post-29583026888040984692009-09-27T16:21:00.000-07:002009-09-28T14:35:01.266-07:00Side Streets and Back AlleysThe difference between "main" streets and "side" streets:<br /><br />Today we finished up in the College Hill neighborhood. We have ventured all around this area, starting with the main streets like Tate and Mendenhall, and then went to the smaller side streets. I noticed several differences in the 2 types of streets. One is that most of the houses seem to look similar on main streets. When we observed Tate St., we filled out a worksheet that showed us that most of the houses are of 2 specific styles. When walking along the side streets on Thursday, we saw more houses that stuck out and were different, like the house in the following picture. <br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhq_CjSP4WuVZ58NcaIjkRlyHuhA7iFh5tHiN2LWhceWR7GDhNnFxkBVKeduGQhLp2aoNRSnmAwFRAQlSHOrdYRR1uNFSXjk4HAOiTYmcQBL2gZk0ifQe6pyF3S0IChHu6rcY2moEGUNiM/s1600-h/100_0333.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhq_CjSP4WuVZ58NcaIjkRlyHuhA7iFh5tHiN2LWhceWR7GDhNnFxkBVKeduGQhLp2aoNRSnmAwFRAQlSHOrdYRR1uNFSXjk4HAOiTYmcQBL2gZk0ifQe6pyF3S0IChHu6rcY2moEGUNiM/s320/100_0333.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5386600753855411970" /></a><br />To me, this house looks almost like the entrance to Circuit City, like the big plug in front. Maybe it's just me. <br /><br />One of the first houses we saw on Thursday, and Andrew's head.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-7TU9bCm4R7zvFPdXWjk1Nlbkh1dY-iiSaRo87IBkPali4VPufxSm2n1wircIi3xniDEj_5s-DHeCU6529sBHuDV8lOAb2VQNXpTrmxsxKgin0MXP-B2DeFwWyiw5W_4kuwyVr_MejZg/s1600-h/100_0326.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-7TU9bCm4R7zvFPdXWjk1Nlbkh1dY-iiSaRo87IBkPali4VPufxSm2n1wircIi3xniDEj_5s-DHeCU6529sBHuDV8lOAb2VQNXpTrmxsxKgin0MXP-B2DeFwWyiw5W_4kuwyVr_MejZg/s320/100_0326.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5386600743659393522" /></a><br /><br />Another difference from the main streets was the presence of fences on the side streets. This shows how people are more protective of their turf and how personal space seems to be valued more than community and togetherness.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_khVv4QwHa04cJpx0UkP25ElellNdbNY9X6wCYj9tAWppvBN0ilQwS62JfZP5nUV9YS-ATnU8CCdsbA0A6zw4UFY34mjuEY6QpkpelDu1HL_nzH4LEjhgVUQmFc584ygwnTrShXJesvs/s1600-h/100_0348.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_khVv4QwHa04cJpx0UkP25ElellNdbNY9X6wCYj9tAWppvBN0ilQwS62JfZP5nUV9YS-ATnU8CCdsbA0A6zw4UFY34mjuEY6QpkpelDu1HL_nzH4LEjhgVUQmFc584ygwnTrShXJesvs/s320/100_0348.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5386605138835703714" /></a><br /><br />There also seems to be a lot more problems with parking back on the side streets, which seems strange because you would think that there would be more problems out on the busy road. However, back in the side streets and alleys, people seem more territorial about parking. In the picture below, there is a personal parking lot for the 3 houses surrounding it.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhIQA2savm4AqgAUI9R_vOMf8UM3rb2DjImROGYb60I1_8MIs2DK1zjjls-CmHuijTNxXhYmw34GC1CK5u5QIjn3yLGpnI-3hdcLHvTJOBwDeyoWxdtUp3QQZcG-Aj7jREQnJFtV_ROXm0/s1600-h/100_0347.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhIQA2savm4AqgAUI9R_vOMf8UM3rb2DjImROGYb60I1_8MIs2DK1zjjls-CmHuijTNxXhYmw34GC1CK5u5QIjn3yLGpnI-3hdcLHvTJOBwDeyoWxdtUp3QQZcG-Aj7jREQnJFtV_ROXm0/s320/100_0347.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5386605130388154418" /></a><br />There is a sign at every parking spot specifying who can park there.

The name, College Hill, fits perfectly with it's location between Greensboro College and UNC-Greensboro. It has edges/fronts along Tate, Market, Mendenhall, and Spring Garden. Generally speaking, the buildings are commercial along these fronts, with the inside being residential homes. We looked at the different types of homes that are prevalent in this neighborhood, and they seem to be pretty much the same. We talked about infill, and what it meant to infill something with something else. We also saw buildings that were unique and stuck out in the neighborhood, like the firehouse-turned-home, the big apartment buildings, and the church. I think that the beats in the neighborhood seem to run along the fronts, because that is the way that most of the college students that live here get to campus. It seems like the things back on the side streets and back alleys were pushed away and almost hidden from sight. I don't think that we could've gotten this much out of the experience from just driving through the neighborhood. Overall, it seems to be an eclectic, yet well-pulled-together neighborhood full of a mixture of college students and long-term residents. This neighborhood seems to have a little bit of everything, and that's what one would expect from a place so close to not one, but two college campuses.Caitlin Gaulthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01269293118861948943noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4643554519588181205.post-28812978787045036362009-09-20T11:07:00.001-07:002009-09-20T18:26:29.112-07:00The Mendenhall Muddle<div>Today was a gloomy day to be walking around, but we learned a lot more about the College Hill neighborhood.</div><br /><div> </div><br />You can somewhat see the tall buildings downtown. <br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4c-U_K885FeQQxPfGDteRArI1BkkIrxfCRFYIw4Z7BuGJYuZWbFmgzWg70aX0jkhLnySbiMaV4Ijzvwswhdfve9b8KoClzUevuObeYcxA2y0I7vMjFtpq6IaBG_l44RaL34wG9XvWvvo/s1600-h/100_0289.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4c-U_K885FeQQxPfGDteRArI1BkkIrxfCRFYIw4Z7BuGJYuZWbFmgzWg70aX0jkhLnySbiMaV4Ijzvwswhdfve9b8KoClzUevuObeYcxA2y0I7vMjFtpq6IaBG_l44RaL34wG9XvWvvo/s320/100_0289.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5383694986110390546" /></a><br /><br />Piety Hill - This was the first name of the neighborhood, due to the establishment of the Methodist college, Greensboro College, and the nearby College Place Methodist Church. The word "piety" specifically means, being pious, with religious devotion and reverence to God. <br /><br />West End - This name comes from it being the western area of expansion in Greensboro, and it is also the hill running west of downtown Greensboro.<br /><br />College Hill - The neighborhood was renamed College Hill after UNCG was established in 1891. College Hill seems to be a fitting name for the neighborhood since it is surrounded by a college campus on either side. <br /><br />Infill:<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHVRvnwKS60hCY7KpuH2-D5nZoOeKTC-rCuJ1KnrgnGSTSvELCzUw4VDmR46OTyqwu42_0cTgYIMduW4XlrcWQUimHhHZ6FXKaSsLgfeELZHocimI4jDlZHUO25_AGwFSykNiLKpMtOx8/s1600-h/100_0311.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHVRvnwKS60hCY7KpuH2-D5nZoOeKTC-rCuJ1KnrgnGSTSvELCzUw4VDmR46OTyqwu42_0cTgYIMduW4XlrcWQUimHhHZ6FXKaSsLgfeELZHocimI4jDlZHUO25_AGwFSykNiLKpMtOx8/s320/100_0311.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5383713203960442930" /></a><br /><br />Infilling a porch: We saw one example where it seemed like having another closed-in room was more important to the homeowner than having a porch. In the bottom left corner of this picture, you can see where the original porch has been closed in, adding another indoor room to the house.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNGjsnTx6yEg6Mn6tG1wmZM-Uqb1yltvxs0zdLTwHM83e4CxDGWpsbND-nWcU_88D5FZ-E95IcPi4c8r4mc_N7jM9HyEbBv6yi7kZPbFB1tm0bBitz-oBYdobdnXBVx77GTQ8LVaJ8s-g/s1600-h/100_0307.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 266px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNGjsnTx6yEg6Mn6tG1wmZM-Uqb1yltvxs0zdLTwHM83e4CxDGWpsbND-nWcU_88D5FZ-E95IcPi4c8r4mc_N7jM9HyEbBv6yi7kZPbFB1tm0bBitz-oBYdobdnXBVx77GTQ8LVaJ8s-g/s320/100_0307.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5383713810074079154" /></a><br /><br />Infilling a farm: From our discussion as we walked on Thursday, it almost seemed like most of the Greensboro area was previously farmland, but has been infilled to create a city. I imagine that most of the buildings that we see today sit on what used to be farmland of some sort. I guess that they were infilled because it was necessary for the expansion of the city.<br /><br />Infilling a church: The massive church that we looked at took the place of several homes on the corners of Mendenhall and Walker is a great example of infill. Also, the parking lot across the street from it is an infill of previous homes. The parking lot leaves the space no good for anything but parking. <br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjo5-5mTETtq8GCqQ9f0g6rF2S_4UL4QUcvnWCrhPgoeC1iFEORumEwIdXGhCL35ANakyrWboHgdZ5l79yVMbqRk7V1tfkoy0KjNdnRusY1rO62ktbM5o5-EqqoCuWsNCe5fArG-EBPm3Q/s1600-h/100_0316.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjo5-5mTETtq8GCqQ9f0g6rF2S_4UL4QUcvnWCrhPgoeC1iFEORumEwIdXGhCL35ANakyrWboHgdZ5l79yVMbqRk7V1tfkoy0KjNdnRusY1rO62ktbM5o5-EqqoCuWsNCe5fArG-EBPm3Q/s320/100_0316.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5383717056067629922" /></a> <br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHmpK3Uzz5ut26Wk1ijZC5WsrhT-qS2g3PR_WFIO27A0BLnENPkPtkFho7h903621QWsimmeV8IGn97vLHoEf7c1Q57ciMGNXBP39nySos-ya-mkKoTQmLH78kVSF4nkdyaodIIJH_Dl0/s1600-h/100_0313.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHmpK3Uzz5ut26Wk1ijZC5WsrhT-qS2g3PR_WFIO27A0BLnENPkPtkFho7h903621QWsimmeV8IGn97vLHoEf7c1Q57ciMGNXBP39nySos-ya-mkKoTQmLH78kVSF4nkdyaodIIJH_Dl0/s320/100_0313.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5383717851544074482" /></a><br /><br />Infilling an apartment: There was one specific apartment building that looks very out of place for the area, the big brick one. Patrick said that it was built in the '70s, I think, and I assume that it was built to accomodate the growth of students from the surrounding colleges. <br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhsMaZd1vACMLM86QYhVlbrBA4fCIFe6IULTwCrqkJ2IDyQWdX4dV1_t4-nyz2J4RTJq1xMoX_o9xHaWvPUuYKBmBwzx_PIuWiSe6vZuZSM0iNhryMKxv6XOLor8veUQljIee-NfRUPyfM/s1600-h/100_0297.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 265px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhsMaZd1vACMLM86QYhVlbrBA4fCIFe6IULTwCrqkJ2IDyQWdX4dV1_t4-nyz2J4RTJq1xMoX_o9xHaWvPUuYKBmBwzx_PIuWiSe6vZuZSM0iNhryMKxv6XOLor8veUQljIee-NfRUPyfM/s320/100_0297.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5383723927233451570" /></a>Caitlin Gaulthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01269293118861948943noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4643554519588181205.post-23878021570522222272009-09-16T11:58:00.000-07:002009-09-16T13:48:59.249-07:00College Hill neigborhoodToday we ventured off campus to begin our observations of the area surrounding UNCG. We began to walk down Tate Street towards Carr Street. Throughout the neighborhood, the building type I saw most often was the first one on our worksheet (the 2 story house with a pitched roof and front/side porch). This prevalent building type gives the neighborhood a sense of unity and togetherness. All along Tate Street, there were a few things that I noticed that rarely or never appeared. First, there was only one house that I saw that had shutters. It seemed to stick out from all of the others because of this specific addition that no other house had. There were also very few driveways at the houses closest to campus, but as we got further away, I noticed more driveways. The lack of driveways really was interesting to me because in my neighborhood back home, all of the houses have driveways and not having one would be very inconvenient for my family because we have 3 cars and my dad's work truck. Parking in the road would not work because they simply wouldn't all fit. Even in the College Hill neighborhood, it seems like driveways would be a necessary thing for a few reasons. First, the buildings that house several college students would need one for the number of cars that would be there at all times. I know that the houses weren’t originally intended for college students, but even single family residences could use a driveway if the occupants have more than one car. Second, Tate Street is a very busy street, and having cars parked on both sides of the road takes away from the space to actually drive in. We witnessed this on Tuesday when we saw the trash truck having to be navigated through the space so that it wouldn't hit the cars on either side of it. Another detail that I noticed about many of the houses were the porches, both front and side. It seems like having a meeting space that is outside of the house is very important to the neighborhood, which adds to the value of community and neighborhood. <br />Most of the buildings had wood siding, which requires more maintenance than other materials. It is also susceptible to termites and ants, which can be a pain to get rid of. The wood trim used on many of the houses also has a high environmental cost because if it is damaged by water or anything, it has to be completely replaced. However, it wouldn’t be terribly hard to install/replace. <br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJPv_YwCobjqYq8WpMNORDovvJvIUDF7MAxCg2QoX6sK-GVl1yGGtEtBF9-tpDTxo0JZgguLVPcaznxpahaRFTBnqHlT8yZDlCWv1OMpH3r38NOdXwkfmpS-zxB4lo2LcD09Rj-qOWIwA/s1600-h/100_0277.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJPv_YwCobjqYq8WpMNORDovvJvIUDF7MAxCg2QoX6sK-GVl1yGGtEtBF9-tpDTxo0JZgguLVPcaznxpahaRFTBnqHlT8yZDlCWv1OMpH3r38NOdXwkfmpS-zxB4lo2LcD09Rj-qOWIwA/s320/100_0277.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5382169651678162610" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgL5hG4MU6s5jQAa58YmORdqRI7gEDFEi9qEzly9yupGxMicknTt-jii2-W5BKpTxV5Id0tj-k6mTIVaqwnZiT5jmIZMLIciizdyYhsxRQIHG8f-OXqFNTHPz9QV1KBH2G5kECICFj-zPo/s1600-h/100_0280.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgL5hG4MU6s5jQAa58YmORdqRI7gEDFEi9qEzly9yupGxMicknTt-jii2-W5BKpTxV5Id0tj-k6mTIVaqwnZiT5jmIZMLIciizdyYhsxRQIHG8f-OXqFNTHPz9QV1KBH2G5kECICFj-zPo/s320/100_0280.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5382169645027439506" /></a><br /><br />There were a few buildings that didn’t fit the stereotypical house of the neighborhood: the church, the concrete-looking building, and the cubical brick building. These seem to be added at a different time to the neighborhood. I did some more research on the stucco building and found that it is an apartment building called Winburn Court, and it features several Spanish Revival elements, like the stucco walls and red tile roof. The only information about the church building that I could find was that it is supposedly the Friendship Monthly Meeting church. There wasn’t a lot of information about that place. <br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjODVb8cUrxfnMBZQNN8GmiRFH4ZJfhF7k55qJYvs7xfG7TNMwWM89ZoQV7cDzkR20NUi5mFFkCBHCzSODFtf43RggrHdJGi2sB9FERZO1reMoTC2dBbMgjoe4VbhkKm0eekgMqjW25TLU/s1600-h/100_0278.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjODVb8cUrxfnMBZQNN8GmiRFH4ZJfhF7k55qJYvs7xfG7TNMwWM89ZoQV7cDzkR20NUi5mFFkCBHCzSODFtf43RggrHdJGi2sB9FERZO1reMoTC2dBbMgjoe4VbhkKm0eekgMqjW25TLU/s320/100_0278.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5382169631808758706" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_61F69X0_ertPNQLOnkgc7aztR3njOcj_efHH9Iz-GQ_vRLdePJBqQ092XGGqbUZMHIKcSQRrGh28BQCPssvYyxhv8tHN9R3jdbTaTv3vr0ozaWyAjRXxVOvqrNJtOAjxeUWm3D9Q5Bc/s1600-h/100_0279.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_61F69X0_ertPNQLOnkgc7aztR3njOcj_efHH9Iz-GQ_vRLdePJBqQ092XGGqbUZMHIKcSQRrGh28BQCPssvYyxhv8tHN9R3jdbTaTv3vr0ozaWyAjRXxVOvqrNJtOAjxeUWm3D9Q5Bc/s320/100_0279.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5382169637436520530" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqBdoAXLYc7lIBNBuM45WPWaA4Euw73plRu7e9pfUcs-dPWJ-u1gLvaBTMQUhviGsX6Clq2qXhwBIzfKtiqAgi-mbfJf6k1O_mLa_eLt-l73BDBPIiDJ94jWE0-TCEpLndgjFdWCx4owI/s1600-h/100_0275.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqBdoAXLYc7lIBNBuM45WPWaA4Euw73plRu7e9pfUcs-dPWJ-u1gLvaBTMQUhviGsX6Clq2qXhwBIzfKtiqAgi-mbfJf6k1O_mLa_eLt-l73BDBPIiDJ94jWE0-TCEpLndgjFdWCx4owI/s320/100_0275.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5382169623006405634" /></a>Caitlin Gaulthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01269293118861948943noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4643554519588181205.post-63643086054610666142009-09-11T10:28:00.000-07:002009-09-11T12:16:27.608-07:00Assessing ValueWe have now gone all around campus and I think I'm beginning to really understand what the school is about. With this assignment, we are supposed to identify the values in 3 out of 5 buildings that we visited yesterday. <br /><br />I chose the quad because it seems like this is a very important historical place on campus. My aunt live in Weil-Winfield when she came to UNCG several years ago. The quad's values seem to focus on the community-type feel. In my diagram below, you can see that it is made up of 8 building with 3 on each side and 1 on each end.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPsb2K9kPxlkr7gTJk5QomLLhBAlVxtfdzJiilIFK_sTJWYjufXfoFpJ0YDBgGlbz7ctEimSCik9ltEI8txcg30qvlNN6fO4WMMLggt0lmC1E8PhLfHCfnORecXpPNDFJ4cqtSFXKFGdI/s1600-h/100_0247.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPsb2K9kPxlkr7gTJk5QomLLhBAlVxtfdzJiilIFK_sTJWYjufXfoFpJ0YDBgGlbz7ctEimSCik9ltEI8txcg30qvlNN6fO4WMMLggt0lmC1E8PhLfHCfnORecXpPNDFJ4cqtSFXKFGdI/s320/100_0247.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5380268174367725458" /></a><br /><br />An interesting thing about the quad is the trees on either side on each building and how they add to the effect of a community, but were planted there by a landscaper. That shows that maybe the campus/architect wanted to create specific values for that space. <br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKVJM6Y75VLOMtU8xOwE-NUAS7zEt7sGcWKC50CRjo-Sm3gnmSr8ELPMVrhsI7NoHmcuTXbDX2aJ72vby4ZkqHDeqWSfDpmjYbPmgKrsIk8p7-6G5juoOvXfwgTyKbm9OI-NuoJ3TLJ2o/s1600-h/100_0201.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 270px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKVJM6Y75VLOMtU8xOwE-NUAS7zEt7sGcWKC50CRjo-Sm3gnmSr8ELPMVrhsI7NoHmcuTXbDX2aJ72vby4ZkqHDeqWSfDpmjYbPmgKrsIk8p7-6G5juoOvXfwgTyKbm9OI-NuoJ3TLJ2o/s400/100_0201.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5380264920022135202" /></a><br />The quad mostly houses upperclassmen and seems to have a sort of exclusivity because of that. I think that a lot of the sororities and fraternities are "housed" in this area. Walking along the pathways, you could see the decorations on the sidewalk with the symbols of sororities and fraternities. I think that the quad's values center on a community, togetherness, and unification through the symmetricality of the area.<br /><br /><br />Peabody Park is another interesting area on campus. The donation from George Peabody in 1901 created the park, which was originally 125 acres. Due to campus expansion, the park is now about 34 acres in size. I think that the reduction on the park says a lot about the values of the school and the area. <br /><br />The golf course.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRtHEOJZYxKasqyst7m-Y41erLCaB89S1OHewfETexdiS4UaxmoamhvumOqsH687DQhG33YfNd0_vd7xsJv8BsIRDg_3CHlA0wiLZHHWbLGVA9f9SWCdnGEFFivgCrD3764D9BnxnE9Tw/s1600-h/100_0209.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRtHEOJZYxKasqyst7m-Y41erLCaB89S1OHewfETexdiS4UaxmoamhvumOqsH687DQhG33YfNd0_vd7xsJv8BsIRDg_3CHlA0wiLZHHWbLGVA9f9SWCdnGEFFivgCrD3764D9BnxnE9Tw/s320/100_0209.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5380272496200002594" /></a><br /><br />The walking path.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJimtuJ_LSvf8lyUauQ-13uEmouiigenkNKDw_Cxi2jdQSo2mw28OEo06fLIN73mcfXhyphenhyphen5HormJZsvL7mlbVEyWxxV5_e436X-USBqmZF2yVNySczHbyAWp61E5g028JuV59zHqr5YWdw/s1600-h/100_0215.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJimtuJ_LSvf8lyUauQ-13uEmouiigenkNKDw_Cxi2jdQSo2mw28OEo06fLIN73mcfXhyphenhyphen5HormJZsvL7mlbVEyWxxV5_e436X-USBqmZF2yVNySczHbyAWp61E5g028JuV59zHqr5YWdw/s320/100_0215.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5380272504144112850" /></a><br /><br />The view from the top of the golf course.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNj0DSejzchVhFt0VmnupR7p3IXVUur_-sCWjEMPSCbb6xoBtAseiNiR6AKy3U6ZxNpl8Petu2yQzLjbHIdDdwlrNldS7ZsIWmbQBTqQvljwSoZXF4uVYXZX1BZT7qVzs28Eyp2MMkf60/s1600-h/100_0214.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 218px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNj0DSejzchVhFt0VmnupR7p3IXVUur_-sCWjEMPSCbb6xoBtAseiNiR6AKy3U6ZxNpl8Petu2yQzLjbHIdDdwlrNldS7ZsIWmbQBTqQvljwSoZXF4uVYXZX1BZT7qVzs28Eyp2MMkf60/s320/100_0214.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5380272518340094466" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjTKCYrJnhX0TOEi0-Wkrf4RD27w7JJb1bZ-peRv_z-CM0eVU-bXw_63PI__i12YcKhD1pt-PBQGLOgjUswfmh_VXzJ5jfMsivjBlvN___vnB7eVezjhLqNvDdQXKWgFRxgJhs15nFaDU/s1600-h/100_0211.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjTKCYrJnhX0TOEi0-Wkrf4RD27w7JJb1bZ-peRv_z-CM0eVU-bXw_63PI__i12YcKhD1pt-PBQGLOgjUswfmh_VXzJ5jfMsivjBlvN___vnB7eVezjhLqNvDdQXKWgFRxgJhs15nFaDU/s320/100_0211.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5380272511679365490" /></a><br /><br />Peabody Park has been changed several times over the years due to the expansion of campus. We learned that there was a dairy on it which supplied the school with all of it's milk for a period of time. There was also an 18-hole golf course [for women] but now it is a 5 hole practice course. The fact that the campus has changed the land from park to sports/recreational area shows how the university values not only academics, but also athletics. <br /><br />This is a picture of the park down in front of the Music Building.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhydEaIzv7rXaRgTLklMN2dHbVhU5wFPB5QlavHKpgj8UJ15qqRYu5m5QV8hJxCiUQ4viBWAlKonIPnxhgVBAsBmFjRbG1VZWGZ2Nx8BpEKxdXHFWGNMjmLX5pyAqXriGZR8upxZp7OgBc/s1600-h/0901091037.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhydEaIzv7rXaRgTLklMN2dHbVhU5wFPB5QlavHKpgj8UJ15qqRYu5m5QV8hJxCiUQ4viBWAlKonIPnxhgVBAsBmFjRbG1VZWGZ2Nx8BpEKxdXHFWGNMjmLX5pyAqXriGZR8upxZp7OgBc/s320/0901091037.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5380278487217117618" /></a><br /><br />I think that the value of Peabody Park focuses not only on athletics, but the growth of the university. Obviously, the buildings that have been built on the land and reduced the size of the park are considered important, or else they wouldn't have been built. However, the fact that the park still exists at all shows a tie to the history of the campus, which is a good value. Sometimes we get so caught up in the futuristic and modern look of things and we forget to appreciate how history has shaped it all. <br /><br />The Moore Humanities and Research Administration Building, or MHRA, is located on Spring Garden St. in line with several other classroom/office buildings. This building is unique, however, because it combines both offices with classrooms. Why? I think that they are combined to show the values of togetherness and openness in the community. If you have a question from class that day, you can pop in and see the professor. It seems to make everything more accessible and a friendly environment. The floor at the entrance has ripples in the tile, which models many of the other buildings that we've seen. This gives it a sense of uniformness, in that they all belong together [from the same time period], but they are all different buildings. <br /><br />Here is the view at the entrance.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKQPWRy-7o_j1bhZJD8Cr1-TZSbI_JPHS5WsA3McEcc2WJX8d6QQBzXDX1eN5_xTynh-3sCmt3snELp-C4gawbd7kYn4_zhoIdMBWf35UqrCONe8bN1p4_Ums9AepyG0czp1AhxKzF11E/s1600-h/100_0227.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKQPWRy-7o_j1bhZJD8Cr1-TZSbI_JPHS5WsA3McEcc2WJX8d6QQBzXDX1eN5_xTynh-3sCmt3snELp-C4gawbd7kYn4_zhoIdMBWf35UqrCONe8bN1p4_Ums9AepyG0czp1AhxKzF11E/s320/100_0227.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5380285405516472930" /></a><br /><br />Another show of university values are the bike racks in front of every building. It shows how accessible and modern the campus is, because it offers a way to store your environmentally friendly mode of transportation. <br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgt1Sise7vpvrJe7d9uhUID9QnRukGiVtekBUKKJcHg53j5faHOhXvs-iOv4_p8vCdP3cT7DVgqecak4equnHCIrOsRMkwZFgWWL8j9MkA1XOmX4G-NhwfqV2nbwl23oUmfcEiRweZgULc/s1600-h/100_0226.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 248px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgt1Sise7vpvrJe7d9uhUID9QnRukGiVtekBUKKJcHg53j5faHOhXvs-iOv4_p8vCdP3cT7DVgqecak4equnHCIrOsRMkwZFgWWL8j9MkA1XOmX4G-NhwfqV2nbwl23oUmfcEiRweZgULc/s320/100_0226.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5380285398293307970" /></a>Caitlin Gaulthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01269293118861948943noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4643554519588181205.post-14001099239462181262009-09-09T11:13:00.001-07:002009-09-09T12:48:50.535-07:00RecenteringToday, we visited 3 buildings: the EUC, the cafeteria, and the Jackson Library.

This floor pattern reminds me of the one we saw in the music building, which had a similar circle and outward pieces pattern.<br /><br />Running between the 2 centers is the hallway, which acts as a spine of the building.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHvmiXtSu9e2v_HbfuvJfhsAbvMWJVqN3qIbNNlBRLPcjR6T8dj7PC67eQNe4hhnxneaFb5jGuyyGgYbqT_RFeOs4_syOGe54lx4VT2h_PwxoVsZaZZBSIkbeOA7pYvcTolUntd0zRT2s/s1600-h/100_0064.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 392px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHvmiXtSu9e2v_HbfuvJfhsAbvMWJVqN3qIbNNlBRLPcjR6T8dj7PC67eQNe4hhnxneaFb5jGuyyGgYbqT_RFeOs4_syOGe54lx4VT2h_PwxoVsZaZZBSIkbeOA7pYvcTolUntd0zRT2s/s400/100_0064.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5379545969606355970" /></a><br />The following picture shows an example of a demostration/information offering that often happens in this hallway.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCOpNRE0lCQPoffh3UT49CXqHuAgKhi6o5tpVEpIPtqnl5BfYNjzF7Erwo3HtugXXIOfOVE0TO9ojkjtLp9i4oyrM5JphOp7CYCxI20yT46ukHa0miYqq2D7NgNjn_XWpu9CJKcpiwTCw/s1600-h/100_0065.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCOpNRE0lCQPoffh3UT49CXqHuAgKhi6o5tpVEpIPtqnl5BfYNjzF7Erwo3HtugXXIOfOVE0TO9ojkjtLp9i4oyrM5JphOp7CYCxI20yT46ukHa0miYqq2D7NgNjn_XWpu9CJKcpiwTCw/s400/100_0065.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5379545978760913138" /></a><br /><br />I think that the 2 entrances act as centers because they connect both ends of the building, with the bookstore and food court on either side of one center, and classrooms and the Information Desk at the other center. People are always walking through the EUC, whether it be to meet with friends for food, to grab a book from the bookstore, or to go to a meeting in a classroom. There never seems to be a quiet moment along the hallway. <br /><br /><br />Another place that we visited was the Library. We were told to walk in and find what we thought was the center. I chose this:<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnPnqOCCRzPidFLt-8r4aVd7KmV1tabzkyE-sq_1p98alxxV0hIxBQTpDNhKK5xC4V82AE6GtKIIN4cwvkB59Kzmuoi2F77rSFSNvKRED0nFnJR57CvSuE2jZgZ7ua2XCZeCIwfmAE7l8/s1600-h/100_0073.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnPnqOCCRzPidFLt-8r4aVd7KmV1tabzkyE-sq_1p98alxxV0hIxBQTpDNhKK5xC4V82AE6GtKIIN4cwvkB59Kzmuoi2F77rSFSNvKRED0nFnJR57CvSuE2jZgZ7ua2XCZeCIwfmAE7l8/s400/100_0073.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5379547468276440626" /></a><br />This is the mobile hanging above the spot that I chose for the center. To physically describe it, you walk into the library and go past the circulation desk. Stand in the spot where the walkway of the entrance intersects with the long hallway running across the building and that's where I was. I believe that is the center because it literally is the center of the building, and it is at a main intersection of the building. It is near the circulation desk, the express computers, the hallway to the Super Lab, and the books. You can look all around from this spot and see several different areas of the library. After explaining why we picked our centers, we walked out the library to the front and saw this:<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2fLaSzdoQKkgMttN85ogVw_7tPXcygMN2MlQqQSJ89UeJ7QMIxLEBlq_k4Gcysi6nggLAhpuWHUvFg9odZ4Lmmv9Z6SmmG04FjuFpdkQeeT7IikOVpyw4OgmV0Dm5q-lCSWzTRHthPpM/s1600-h/100_0078.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2fLaSzdoQKkgMttN85ogVw_7tPXcygMN2MlQqQSJ89UeJ7QMIxLEBlq_k4Gcysi6nggLAhpuWHUvFg9odZ4Lmmv9Z6SmmG04FjuFpdkQeeT7IikOVpyw4OgmV0Dm5q-lCSWzTRHthPpM/s400/100_0078.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5379548713152502642" /></a><br />Above the main entrance, you can see the tower. <br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWZpRttWRgLr0laFLD2zWnen6pMMqMfA5FqJn78mYupd8mEVS2G2cZp8UVDaJO5ZLHCt7n_yegVs_n1qznmZ1msFta4DUBuwiA6W-CNWbNbFALXYvetDgSqliubM-a8CmHzexreD4erCI/s1600-h/100_0082.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 241px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWZpRttWRgLr0laFLD2zWnen6pMMqMfA5FqJn78mYupd8mEVS2G2cZp8UVDaJO5ZLHCt7n_yegVs_n1qznmZ1msFta4DUBuwiA6W-CNWbNbFALXYvetDgSqliubM-a8CmHzexreD4erCI/s320/100_0082.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5379552177402765858" /></a><br />Since this tower is 9 stories tall, it is also used for radio and satellite reception. <br /><br />The last building that we visited was the cafeteria.

This is a very important center for many reasons. <br />1. Everyone has to eat. <br />2. You can buy snacks and a variety of other things here.<br />3. If you have a package, this is where you pick it up. <br />4. Some people like to sit on the couches and hang out inside rather than out by the fountain.<br />The cafeteria serves a variety of purposes and is one of the main centers on campus. <br /><br />Centers help you understand the building and its purpose more. You can also tell by looking at the centers what was important to the school when they constructed/updated the building.Caitlin Gaulthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01269293118861948943noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4643554519588181205.post-51362983359666669842009-09-04T16:27:00.000-07:002009-09-04T18:35:00.084-07:005 Pictures Assignment<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgqhlIvZDqZJsW3fUGhpxBgsPdjEdQTr4SidwEkXvBT3SPp6atwpS-qFYf22JRgAu8dB4UILXZJWjrJmiSwUF1rs8P2eleCmiC0zVI7qR0UcvLyjQ3glKnPddPY1_1Nbw7U0mK-j8f0hk/s1600-h/0903091004.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgqhlIvZDqZJsW3fUGhpxBgsPdjEdQTr4SidwEkXvBT3SPp6atwpS-qFYf22JRgAu8dB4UILXZJWjrJmiSwUF1rs8P2eleCmiC0zVI7qR0UcvLyjQ3glKnPddPY1_1Nbw7U0mK-j8f0hk/s400/0903091004.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5377763108430404530" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />This is the bell tower on the south side of campus, the Nicholas A. Vacc Bell Tower. This is an example of a stack on campus. However, it may not be the traditional stack that we think of. I think that this stack more represents the accumulation of memories. I know that personally my friends and I have sat around this bell tower and had conversations that I will remember for a long time, so I have a personal connection. Also, sitting in class at the bell tower this past Thursday gave me another experience at the bell tower. I jumped when the bells rang because they startled me, but it's still one of my favorite places to be.<br /><br /><A></A><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgcmbgf4o-3RKQJwHFCLL95rjKbzuJg5jIpfLT8UrXGj8wiRfS2oGlRJIMEWTcoCN564wIWcQnjFd1jPZ6NVdkB0rwR1vD9f-TiIs4BROvZo_QJehsrrQcqJGnjq8DltHhkwLUYllqh59I/s1600-h/0901090958a.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 299px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgcmbgf4o-3RKQJwHFCLL95rjKbzuJg5jIpfLT8UrXGj8wiRfS2oGlRJIMEWTcoCN564wIWcQnjFd1jPZ6NVdkB0rwR1vD9f-TiIs4BROvZo_QJehsrrQcqJGnjq8DltHhkwLUYllqh59I/s400/0901090958a.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5377761687739289506" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />This is a picture of the stores on Tate Street. This represents a strip because it is a long line of stores close together. When I read Clay's description of a strip, I was reminded of strip malls that were so popular to build a few years ago. Developers would buy a piece of land and build stores on it in a strip. Maybe strips became popular because it was easier to quickly see what store was in a particular shopping center. While the stores on Tate Street aren't exactly a strip mall, they still qualify as a strip. <br /><br /><a></a><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-u8yx6CTsLbngOjjD1gXvbo5MBqu3LaBXoWcRCFUHKoc2L7RvqU5Akqs_PbmeLXbrcSclurQTaKBETER7Sut_ygHiKI2MgF5b28i6Qie322SKjYkctYEfWNWVEpyy3L-l8kWaZLRIm8I/s1600-h/0902091934.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-u8yx6CTsLbngOjjD1gXvbo5MBqu3LaBXoWcRCFUHKoc2L7RvqU5Akqs_PbmeLXbrcSclurQTaKBETER7Sut_ygHiKI2MgF5b28i6Qie322SKjYkctYEfWNWVEpyy3L-l8kWaZLRIm8I/s400/0902091934.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5377766186493857234" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />This picture was taken from the top of the McIver parking deck overlooking the Music Building, which is a vantage point. My roommate and I went up to the top on Thursday night because there was a beautiful sunset and we wanted to see how far out we could see. While we couldn't see quite as much as we thought we would be able to, I still think that it was a vantage point because we could definitely see more than just looking from ground level. We were able to see over the Music Building and out to some of the surrounding streets like Tate St. and what I think was West Market St. When we looked to the east (in the direction of the tall buildings downtown), we were unable to see the buildings. However, from our dorm, which is on the 8th floor, we can see over the tree and out to the tall buildings. I think that one could say that a vantage point would be anything up high where you could see out far. I think that my dorm is possibly not the best vantage point on campus because our building is surrounded by trees, but it still provides a pretty good view. <br /><br /><a></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdRKjt27rJ-TZkc3ACSa7nHPgPiz0TvlKvJFwSYGPbgJCtB8BtMBSAXk4y08dmuJbwN1_l-k3Q18HzFbDaUyELlU_wWbq3XNQNp8RwogKgMZomMLmvh-K3ug398pbo02meghPkomovWcI/s1600-h/0827091027.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdRKjt27rJ-TZkc3ACSa7nHPgPiz0TvlKvJFwSYGPbgJCtB8BtMBSAXk4y08dmuJbwN1_l-k3Q18HzFbDaUyELlU_wWbq3XNQNp8RwogKgMZomMLmvh-K3ug398pbo02meghPkomovWcI/s400/0827091027.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5377770696081553282" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />This is a beat, but more specifically, the walkway in front of the Foust Building. There is a stone at the beginning of the walkway saying, "The Graduate Walk: Honoring alumni as a remembrance of their years at the University. Begun 1995 - Growing each year. As the walkway continues on, there are bricks with alumni's names on them, like "Mary Rebekah Hampton 1893". I can only imagine the alumni gathering to walk down this pathway and reminiscing about their time at UNCG. During the school year, this walkway serves as a beat for students, connecting them from a part of Spring Garden St. to College Avenue, and offers a scenic walk on the way to class.<br /><br /><a></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPr1FbKNuLkGv58Ylo-NVhlUp0HC5IKAQECMLbV5EmomtsmSYdXhIx2BMU6DXy8mgxXKdnTB1NZV78q4rO2hZyI40xUa4FX_9iS0Vwe3kh4B9KCw0Z5v471k80sPvxE8EGQeItKoj4YgM/s1600-h/0903090953.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPr1FbKNuLkGv58Ylo-NVhlUp0HC5IKAQECMLbV5EmomtsmSYdXhIx2BMU6DXy8mgxXKdnTB1NZV78q4rO2hZyI40xUa4FX_9iS0Vwe3kh4B9KCw0Z5v471k80sPvxE8EGQeItKoj4YgM/s400/0903090953.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5377786355080195506" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhv4eeZvhqHNSYDRiS0Ru18QA8Zjj0wzEcCjU_sJGKSWMddmNRQ5Ilbsz3OH-rm9jUNOcDmLWv8TnwDXts7uyM85gBLdEbaN_dH2j2SwI3k7mr4_Dscuf3hPhzEfk0OsDA_g9j_za3PhMg/s1600-h/0903090941.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 352px; height: 232px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhv4eeZvhqHNSYDRiS0Ru18QA8Zjj0wzEcCjU_sJGKSWMddmNRQ5Ilbsz3OH-rm9jUNOcDmLWv8TnwDXts7uyM85gBLdEbaN_dH2j2SwI3k7mr4_Dscuf3hPhzEfk0OsDA_g9j_za3PhMg/s400/0903090941.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5377786350928726130" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />The first picture is one of the industrial buildings across from the steam plant. The second picture is the tower of the steam plant. While the tower is a stack, I am going to explain why I think that the area is a sink. Across the street from the steam plant are train tracks and then the industrial buildings. These buildings are in a lower valley than the steam plant. The ground is lower on the other side of the tracks. This is a sink because it is where the buildings that are not attractive are "pushed" into a hole on campus. They are on the outskirts and are not appealing to the campus visitor. I think that this constitutes as a sink because they are out of the way in a depression of the ground and could be described as a "pile" of junk.Caitlin Gaulthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01269293118861948943noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4643554519588181205.post-56655719965448442552009-09-04T14:11:00.000-07:002009-09-04T16:24:43.703-07:00Map Assignment<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYfXjkCTvKsTJqiF5ZHTk2lLq5TrRBxYfPxxzok_EBuY3f3AQGR0rJbTbSZrONjjL7AeHlBZfxBBXsZB2aQ8H8YiAuv5brbWcAJF6_0GC9pl0qEpEcTeNgJtvD6Jqa-STbqY6sb47MhGs/s1600-h/ScannedImage.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 288px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYfXjkCTvKsTJqiF5ZHTk2lLq5TrRBxYfPxxzok_EBuY3f3AQGR0rJbTbSZrONjjL7AeHlBZfxBBXsZB2aQ8H8YiAuv5brbWcAJF6_0GC9pl0qEpEcTeNgJtvD6Jqa-STbqY6sb47MhGs/s400/ScannedImage.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5377757224467871698" /></a><br /><br /><br />Color Key:<br />Dark Green - Break<br />Hot Pink - Front<br />Dark Blue - Beat<br />Yellow Highlighter - Stack<br />Red - Sink<br />Orange - Turf<br />Purple - Vantage<br />Light Blue - Fix<br />Green Highlighter - District<br />Pink/Purple - Strip<br /><br />One example of a stack is the smokestack on the steam plant. We learned that stacks are generally pushed to the outskirts of town, or in this case, campus, and this stack, as well as the radio tower and the water tower, are on the south edges of campus.<br /><br />An example of a break is in the center of campus where the library and Stone Building are. This is a break from Walker Ave, which used to run all the way through campus. I think that this break was put there because the school wanted to emphasize education rather than automobile transportation.<br /><br />A front along Spring Garden street and Administration Dr, with the Foust Building. We have previously talked about the front of Foust being more decorated on the side that faces the main road, and it really is a front.<br /><br />I think that one of the main beats on campus is the Elliot University Center, or EUC. This building houses many offices and the campus bookstore and food court, and is frequented by many students on a day-to-day basis.<br /><br />A sink on campus could also include the south side of campus with the steam plant and other surrounding buildings. These buildings are across from the railroad tracks, which have a hill on the other side along with many industrial buildings.<br /><br />On my map, I marked the whole of campus as a turf because it is the "turf" of the students. We are all on campus as students and this is "our space". Another example of a turf can be areas such as the sports area, which I also marked as a district because all of the sports fields and buildings are close together. Many of the dorms are close together too, qualifying them as districts as well.<br /><br />A vantage point on campus is the tower on the parking deck. My roommate and I went to the top of the McIver parking deck the other day and could see far off into campus and into the surrounding neighborhoods of Greensboro. Another vantage is the tower on the top of the Weatherspoon Museum.<br /><br />I marked a fix on my map as the fountain, the dining hall, and the EUC. These areas are main fixes for students because they are popular meeting places, and always have a crowd around them. Another fix I marked is Yum Yums, because many students go there to eat and socialize. College Avenue can also be a fix because it is the main connecting road to many dorms and buildings on campus.<br /><br />A strip that we have seen could be the strip of dorms and buildings along College Avenue, but also the stores along Tate Street. They are all close together and seem to draw a large group of people from UNCG. They are literally a strip.<br /><br />I apologize that there are no photos with this post, but I can't get my photos to upload off of my camera. As soon as I can locate a cord, the pictures will be up on my blog. Again, I apologize.Caitlin Gaulthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01269293118861948943noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4643554519588181205.post-42356323554451940692009-09-03T15:20:00.000-07:002009-09-04T14:11:11.682-07:00<div>For our second day of campus observation, we met at the corner of Tate St. and Walker Ave. </div><br /><div> </div><br /><div> </div><br /><div>Question(s) of the Day:</div><br /><div> </div><br /><div><strong>Who was the Brown Building named after?</strong></div><br /><div>The Brown Building, which housed the School of Music until 1999, is named after Wade R. Brown, Head/Dean of the School of Music from 1912 to 1936. </div><br /><div> </div><br /><div><strong>Why were there 3 major time periods of growth at UNCG?</strong><a href="http://library.uncg.edu/depts/archives/universityrecords/timeline/pages/">http://library.uncg.edu/depts/archives/universityrecords/timeline/pages/</a></div><br /><div> </div><br /><div>I used the above link to gather my information about the history of UNCG.</div><br /><div>1920s: Rapid expansion occured during the 1920s, with the student population skyrocketing. With the huge growth in population, more buildings were needed. <br />1960s: UNCG became a coed school in 1964, which led to another massive growth in population, therefore requiring more buildings to house and educate the students.<br />1990-present: UNCG has yet again experienced exponential growth in population, so more buildings are being added and remodeled to accomodate all of the students. I have heard my R.A. say that we are at 106% capacity, so we are overflowing with students.<br /><br />Why has the Music Building not been named yet?<br />As an educated guess, I'm assuming that the Music Building hasn't been named yet because no one of influence from the Music Department has passed away recently.</div>Caitlin Gaulthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01269293118861948943noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4643554519588181205.post-82795575426881962272009-08-29T16:15:00.000-07:002009-08-29T16:53:25.874-07:00The first building that we analyzed was the Foust Building. Located at the corner of College Ave. and Administration Dr., Foust is the oldest building on campus.<br /><br />Here is the entrance:<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9LmtXIfWN2RP2vFWttPbXZbq602iDR_uWUp563m8DugwYnHfWg0DWjcamIn-Pr8CDikHhN3Pod1l95KnvhT1Ikntpl7GKHpFD0MaZ0V5wLk0bLeCjrRImDUWP5Jw0lDr3VpOGoJNwKvk/s1600-h/foust1.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9LmtXIfWN2RP2vFWttPbXZbq602iDR_uWUp563m8DugwYnHfWg0DWjcamIn-Pr8CDikHhN3Pod1l95KnvhT1Ikntpl7GKHpFD0MaZ0V5wLk0bLeCjrRImDUWP5Jw0lDr3VpOGoJNwKvk/s320/foust1.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5375528983467665410" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><a></a><br /><br />Notice the stone balcony above the arches. While some of the surrounding buildings seem to take elements from Foust, this building is overall very unique. Some physical aspects of the building are pointed roofs, stone arch details over the windows and brick chimneys. It is asymmetrical in that the entrance is situated to the right of the center of the building. There are signs that the building is older, including the air vents from the old natural air system and the earthquake ties on the rear of the building. <br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjotxIZQvvsz-JUkQL7kU-PaYI-8txU5QiNh5rWTGmncHThwj91mlU6Cgan-GYOA15r7Rsf66W5fobimF-pgnjBf9LucmgFgXX8EAHBpKluEpFlQr77Unutp4bTEBbNfHz562uEmzE3CQI/s1600-h/foust3.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 142px; height: 128px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjotxIZQvvsz-JUkQL7kU-PaYI-8txU5QiNh5rWTGmncHThwj91mlU6Cgan-GYOA15r7Rsf66W5fobimF-pgnjBf9LucmgFgXX8EAHBpKluEpFlQr77Unutp4bTEBbNfHz562uEmzE3CQI/s320/foust3.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5375535182648094162" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgpNhJZq1ZVwoLx1KxqqJv_i53BNO1p6j8l2repB5AnRuibrtTYmp2e1_EVu6AJ7dE0Lr99PxHVjsjCJQ-pkRuusntgNfoZ6UbyMPSJT_4Rn5wRXlfDocaK6LNUQKx7txSpfwyK2fAaAc8/s1600-h/foust2.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgpNhJZq1ZVwoLx1KxqqJv_i53BNO1p6j8l2repB5AnRuibrtTYmp2e1_EVu6AJ7dE0Lr99PxHVjsjCJQ-pkRuusntgNfoZ6UbyMPSJT_4Rn5wRXlfDocaK6LNUQKx7txSpfwyK2fAaAc8/s320/foust2.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5375535171824773458" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />This building is different than any other on campus, but the following pictures show some elements from Foust seen in surrounding buildings.<br /><br />-Arches over the windows (Forney Building)<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj0rUig1pIlWHokR6-UBRpfC2aorHRLg_FXDfCdH_cLCAZloi2Ld617_kSLHU8A2i6h_fF5ArjEWCu5lLve1NZXEZbk_hLUNT8b1kaq9w4wNPffL5mQJjfKXMf3sT8f1-3thGbZWm1zXok/s1600-h/foust4.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj0rUig1pIlWHokR6-UBRpfC2aorHRLg_FXDfCdH_cLCAZloi2Ld617_kSLHU8A2i6h_fF5ArjEWCu5lLve1NZXEZbk_hLUNT8b1kaq9w4wNPffL5mQJjfKXMf3sT8f1-3thGbZWm1zXok/s320/foust4.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5375536282343612962" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />-Grand entrance (Alumni House)<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBCk4HVsgFiQ7ll273xZc0OX1UWxsx6WF_m54ewfqVnpN10KZV7ryIXNwaGjUN-LN7o8hmj2UTvpuwIfIuVI2XTlkjJ4AWY9Xj1W638lX-rPzF9Zf1Sb1JgEnURv788TlVQhy7-lGH7s8/s1600-h/foust5.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBCk4HVsgFiQ7ll273xZc0OX1UWxsx6WF_m54ewfqVnpN10KZV7ryIXNwaGjUN-LN7o8hmj2UTvpuwIfIuVI2XTlkjJ4AWY9Xj1W638lX-rPzF9Zf1Sb1JgEnURv788TlVQhy7-lGH7s8/s320/foust5.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5375537424394280690" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />The Foust building is rich in both architectural detail and history.

I think it will be very beneficial for me to learn more about the town that I will be spending the next 4 years in, and hopefully will help me become better with directions around town. I've also never taken a class like this, and I'm excited to expand my knowledge of architecture and the city of Greensboro.Caitlin Gaulthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01269293118861948943noreply@blogger.com1
