Today's riddle: What is the difference between black eyed peas and chick peas? 🤔 (Answer below!)
1. West Market Street double homicide: Greensboro suspect faces death penalty, judge says (wxii12.com) — A Greensboro man accused in a 2019 double homicide on West Market Street now faces the possibility of the death penalty after a judge ruled there is enough evidence to seek capital punishment. The case involves two people killed and a woman and infant injured, and remains a major step toward potential closure for affected families and the wider community.
2. Guilford County confirms 13th rabies case of 2026 after bat tests positive in Greensboro (abc45.com) — A bat found on Westminster Drive in Greensboro has tested positive for rabies, Guilford County's 13th animal case this year, prompting renewed safety reminders for residents. Officials urge keeping pets' rabies vaccinations current, avoiding contact with wildlife or strange-acting animals, and reporting bites or stray animals to Animal Control using the county's listed phone numbers.
3. Greensboro city leaders draw inspiration from Atlanta Beltline for Greenway (myfox8.com) — Downtown Greensboro's new four-mile greenway is prompting city leaders to consider rezoning nearby areas to encourage parks, restaurants, housing, and mixed-use development. Inspired by Atlanta's Beltline, officials say any rezoning along the greenway would be voluntary, with help offered to interested property owners navigating the process.
4. Guilford Tech students weld massive FOLK sign ahead of NC Folk Festival (wxii12.com) — Welding students from Guilford Technical Community College have built a massive metal "FOLK" sign that will anchor this weekend's North Carolina Folk Festival in downtown Greensboro. The six-foot-tall letters, installed at the train and bus depot, give students real-world experience while creating a public art piece that will remain part of Greensboro's festival landscape for years.
5. Police provide new details after attempted assault along trail off Old Oak Ridge Road in Greensboro (myfox8.com) — Greensboro police are investigating an attempted assault on a woman walking a greenway trail near Old Oak Ridge Road and Oak Ridge Trail, where a man approached, tried to assault her, and exposed himself before she escaped.
