A large tree is suspended by utility lines over Tate Street on Thursday evening after Tropical Storm Michael passed through. The tree is in the 300 block. The city closed Tate from Carr Street to Walker Avenue.
A tree was split in the 900 block of Walker Avenue by Thursday’s storm. It didn’t block traffic. Good Neighbor Joy Herndon was preparing to put her chainsaw to it just before dark, even though it’s on her neighbor’s property, not hers.

Two new dog-bag stations have been put up in College Hill. They’re at the corner of South Mendenhall Street and Rankin Place, in front of the apartments at 200 S. Mendenhall, and on Jackson Street between Spring Garden Street and Morehead Avenue in front of 406 Jackson Street. Neighborhood pedestrians and dog walkers can thank neighbors Wes Gilbert, Clara Kelly and Lyddan Pawlowski for installing the new stations.
The two new locations bring the total to four in College Hill. The others are at Springdale Park, on Spring Garden Street near Springdale Court, and on the pergola at the corner of South Mendenhall and Walker Avenue.
The College Hill Neighborhood Association cordially invites all of the neighborhood’s dog walkers to make the fullest use possible of these facilities.
James “Dorn” Yeattes, 56, of Tate Street, died Thursday at his home. Dorn worked as a self-employed mechanic. He also was a gardener and sold produce at the weekly farmers’ market at Elam and Walker avenues. Survivors include his brother, Jeff Yeattes, and his wife, Karen, of Tate Street.
Funeral services will be held on Monday at 2 p.m. at Peace United Church of Christ. Burial will follow at Greenhill Cemetery in Greensboro. The family will receive friends from 1 p.m. to 2 p.m. at the church.
In lieu of flowers, the family asks that memorial contributions be made to Peace United Church of Christ, 2714 W. Market Street, Greensboro, NC 27403, “or in memory of Dorn, take time to do a good deed for someone.” Click here for more information.
Each year many new and returning Spartans are coming from families who are experiencing challenging economic times. This is presenting unique challenges for many of our Spartans that are trying to do well in school, “fit in,” and figure out what their future will look like. … Without support systems in place, these students, many of whom prefer to remain hidden during hard times, are facing these challenges alone while struggling to provide for their own livelihood.
— the UNCG Dean of Students office
We rarely think of undergraduates as poor, hungry or homeless, but there are low-income students who struggle to get by. The Spartan Open Pantry at UNCG helps provide food for these students and some staff members, and it needs support from the community.
Donations can be brought to the Associated Campus Ministries building, adjacent to the Walker Avenue Parking Deck. Monetary contributions can be made with checks written to the Wesley-Luther Campus Ministry, ACM Center, UNC Greensboro, 500 Stirling Street, Greensboro NC, 27403.
It may be a fluke, but there have been more serious police reports than usual in neighborhoods in our part of Greensboro recently. As followers of Nextdoor.com know, College Hill has had a few crimes reported this summer — including four reports of items being stolen from front porches — and it’s also worth being aware of what’s going on around us.
