If you’ve driven down Grove Street lately, you might have noticed the north wall of the Riz Mart taking on a new look. The Center for Community Engaged Design at UNCG has worked with Glenwood neighborhood members to conceptualize, design, and now actually paint a gorgeous mural right in the middle of “downtown” Glenwood. It’s […]
Loved seeing the neighborhoods feature in the News and Record – especially the Glenwood section where neighbors talked about what they love about our neighborhood. I hope this will become a regular feature, reminding us all that there are important reasons we call our communities home. I have landed in a 1950s dream of neighbors who […]

For an owner, for a landlord, for a family, for a return to glory. Sometimes the wait ends because the house deteriorates beyond repair, or […]
A neighbor found a lost dog while she was out and about today. His leash was broken and he was all alone, but she brought him home and gave him some water. In no time, other neighbors were in action to connect her to other people who could help. Not such a big deal, except […]
Our neighborhood – Glenwood – is full of happy people who love living here. You don’t always hear from them, but they are growing and thriving, street by street. They see our challenges.
