New steakhouse reflects confidence in High Point Road
No one would dispute that this is a tough economic environment, but Greensboro’s High Point Road is on a modest upswing, so co-owner James Reynolds decided to take a chance with the new Fargo Steakhouse, which opened on Nov. 1 in the location formerly occupied by Oh! Brian’s.
This is the second Fargo Steakhouse in the franchise, the first being in Zebulon.
Reynolds said his restaurant enjoyed a nice draw on its opening weekend from a woman’s religious conference taking place at the Greensboro Coliseum Complex, and the restaurateur credits Director Matt Brown with creating a spillover economic effect for High Point Road businesses.
“High Point Road is due for a turnaround,” Reynolds said. “[The city] tore down the Coliseum Inn. The Coliseum Inn harbored some undesirable people. I don’t know if they’ll every get that new natatorium built or not, but that will be great for us.”
Reynolds added, “Matt Brown is a lightning rod for controversy, but he does keep our coliseum moving.”
Earthworks opening and sale
Potters Molly Lithgo and Jim Rientjes of Earthworks will hold their annual kiln opening and studio sale at 636 S. Cedar St. in Greensboro’s College Hill neighborhood on Saturday.
