Where a building used to be now runs a road.
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.
Another pattern that I saw was the presence of several antique stores. There is Lion's Crown Antiques, Hampton Antiques, The Browsery Antiques, Jules Antiques and Art, Ryan's Antiques, and Mary's Antiques, to name a few. This suggests that it is a popular business in Greensboro and that there is a need for several stores.
good observations
