1. Greensboro man charged with child sex crimes following Oregon tip (greensboro.com) — A Greensboro man has been charged with child sex crimes after authorities in Oregon passed along a tip, prompting a local investigation. While many details are obscured in the text, the case underscores how out-of-state leads can trigger serious local charges and serves as a reminder of ongoing child protection efforts affecting Greensboro families.
2. Burlington and Greensboro shootings linked to same woman (myfox8.com) — Greensboro police have charged a 28-year-old woman in a Sept. 4 shooting on the 1500 block of 19th Street, where shots were fired into two occupied homes and a car but no one was hurt. She already faced related charges from a separate Burlington shooting the same day and is now being held without bond in Alamance County.
3. Page High School principal confirms student's death (myfox8.com) — Page High School's principal has confirmed that student Davion Fewell has died, and grief counselors will be on the Greensboro campus Monday to support classmates. Families are being urged to talk with their children about feelings, and the school plans to share resources online to help parents guide kids through grief in the days ahead.
4. Greensboro: Big, Unexpected Adventures From 1781 Battlefield to Jeansboro (recipestravelculture.com) — Greensboro's gardens, historic battlefield, and downtown museums offer plenty of ways to spend a weekend close to home, from Guilford Courthouse National Military Park to Gateway Gardens and Green Hill Cemetery. The writer also highlights local favorites like the International Civil Rights Center & Museum, Greensboro Pinball Museum, Fainting Goat Spirits, and several standout restaurants and inns that showcase the city's character and history.
5. Final: Guilford College holds off Methodist comeback in tight contest (newsobserver.com) — Guilford College edged Methodist University 20–17 in its home opener at Armfield Athletic Center on Greensboro's west side, surviving two lightning delays and a late Methodist touchdown. The Quakers' big plays, including a 72-yard scoring run and key interceptions, helped them avoid an 0–2 start after last week's Gate City Soup Bowl loss to Greensboro.
