Book excerpt: 27 VIEWS of GREENSBORO: The Gate City in Prose & Poetry is an anthology of the city once known for textile mills and as a train hub, now known for diversity, education, and sports. Twenty-seven journalists, novelists, poets, and essayists offer a broad and varied picture of life, present and past, in the Southern city—from the city’s brief stint as capital of the Confederacy to stories of its famous and less well-known civil rights protests, from reflections on Greensboro's overwhelming growth to a profile of the man who created Vicks VapoRub.
