📰 In the news
Updated visitation guidelines announced: Cone Health has lifted visitor restrictions after flu cases eased. Children ages 12 and 13 can visit loved ones, and masks are optional for patient safety at Cone Health hospitals — see what changes take effect.
Plan ahead for traffic: A portion of South Elm Street in downtown Greensboro is closed until March 6, so expect detours and slower travel this week around the area — read the full story.
Severe weather and local updates: Greensboro Parks and Recreation summer camp registration opens today. Families can explore options for kids across the city, with more information available from Parks and Rec — get details on camps and weather.
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. It’s super affordable – and reimburses up to 90% of the bill.

🏆 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 you’re wondering whether you’re missing something, AHG has a free guide explaining what’s driving the renewed interest… and how investors are approaching precious metals right now.
It’s free and worth reading before the next move.

🫶 We got your back
Sauce-soaked wing heaven: Craving wings that stay crispy under sauce? At Bon-Bon Wings & Grill, this family-owned Greensboro spot tosses fresh wings in legit flavors like mango habanero, garlic parmesan, and lemon pepper dry, with solid sides for when self-control slips. Flats or drums… the only debate.
Beauty restock, unlocked: Beautisa stocks a deep mix of hair care, wigs, and everyday beauty essentials, backed by people who really know their stuff. If your curl cream, edge control, or lash glue is running low, consider this your nudge to restock at Beautisa before the last squeeze.
Two courses, zero excuses: Greensboro’s own Grandover Resort & Spa serves up two 18-hole tracks, East and West, with public tee times. Sneak a midweek nine, or go full golf mode on Saturday… hit the range, browse the pro shop, and chase that one pure swing until the sun says quit.
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 don’t 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 👀
It may feel like an invasion of privacy, but unfortunately It’s the new normal. Whether you’re 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, there’s a really easy way for you – or someone you care about – to clean up outdated results that no longer tell the real story. Learn more here.
This house is wild
Timeless architecture meets refined comfort minutes from Greensboro Country Club, Cone Hospital, and downtown. A hidden scullery with double ovens plus extra fridge and dishwasher drawers keeps prep discreet, and two primary suites on the main provide zero entry showers. French oak floors set the tone, plus a bonus room with antique Louisiana doors and a saltwater pool and spa.
