đ° In the news
Help shape city priorities: Greensboro will hold Community Budget Sessions in each City Council district this month, starting Thursday, March 5 at Griffin Recreation Center. Residents can attend any session that fits their schedule — see dates and what’s planned.
Fresh name, familiar flavors: Former Brixx Wood Fired Pizza spots in Greensboro and Winston-Salem have reopened as Crust and Craft, run by the same owner, serving wood fired pies and craft beer — read the full story.
Major corridor project proposed: Greensboro is seeking input on plans to expand a walking path between Hill St. and Rollins Rd. The project aims to deliver safer, more connected routes for nearby neighborhoods — see what’s planned here.
Nothing prepares you for a pet emergency: I learned that the hard way after charging $10k to a credit card for life-saving surgery on my cat, Miss Stache. As soon as we got home, I signed up for Spot. Itâs super affordable â and reimburses up to 90% of the bill.
Compare rates for free: The national average for car insurance is around $175/month. Paying more than that? Same, so I did some shopping around and ended up cutting my premium in half. If you haven’t checked in a while, you’re probably overpaying too — here’s the comparison tool I used.
Highlights this week:

đ Gold and silver are heating up
Together with our sponsor American Hartford Gold
Gold just posted its strongest run in decades⊠and the momentum is carrying into 2026. Silver has become one of the most talked-about assets as investors look for ways to stay ahead of market volatility.
While many are still sitting on the sidelines, others are quietly repositioning.
If youâre wondering whether youâre missing something, AHG has a free guide explaining whatâs driving the renewed interest⊠and how investors are approaching precious metals right now.
Itâs free and worth reading before the next move.

𫶠We got your back
Handmade pasta fix: In Greensboro, Osteria fuels carb dreams with an ever-rotating cast of handmade pastas and fresh sauces, paired with 70+ thoughtfully priced wines. Itâs the easy midweek reset or low-key date night you want, close to home…no passport or crosstown trek required.
Sip, browse, repeat: From once-loved designer gems to real-deal vintage for men and women, Vintage to Vogue Boutique hits that âunique but wearableâ sweet spot. Yes, thereâs a bar⊠grab a craft beer or mimosa and make wardrobe calls in the cozy lounge or sunlit courtyard.
Quick freeze, big relief: Greensboro Cryotherapy helps you rebound from workouts, desk stiffness, and everyday aches with whole-body cryo and recovery tools like compression, infrared, and an AlterG treadmill. Quick chill, zero fuss, and somehow you leave warmer on the inside.
Thinning hair? It only gets worse: A few months ago, I noticed my ponytail getting thinner. I tried the usual stuff (biotin, shampoo, etc.) but mostly just hoped it would fix itself⊠until I learned that active follicles can permanently go dormant if you donât do something about it. The good news? You can get treatment that actually works with no office visits or trips to the pharmacy. Learn more about my favorite online options here.

Someone Googled you this week đ
It may feel like an invasion of privacy, but unfortunately Itâs the new normal. Whether youâre joining a committee, selling something locally, dating again, or just meeting new neighbors⊠people are going to look you up online.
Like it or not, the internet has a way of surfacing past mistakes and outdated information that no longer reflects who you are.
Thankfully, thereâs a really easy way for you â or someone you care about â to clean up outdated results that no longer tell the real story. Learn more here.
