Winston-Salem recently decided to form an entertainment district downtown, building off its successful experience with an arts district and an interest in encouraging development by clustering certain types of venues. Loosened rules allow clubs a little more freedom, something that might be particularly appealing in Greensboro where city council has struggled with a noise ordinance.
An entertainment district could be drawn in downtown Greensboro, possibly near the former site of the Flying Anvil close to Lotus Lounge, Studio B, Elsewhere, the parking lot that hosts City Market, Artistika, the future location of Gibb’s Hundred Brewing… you get the picture.
There are downsides, too — existing entertainment venues downtown aren’t all concentrated, and what about the impact on nearby residents?
Several city council members said during the fall election that they’d be interested in exploring the idea. What about you?
