Monday, May 26 is of course Memorial Day and if you use the City of Greensboro’s services, transportation or facilities, here are a few things you need to know about the holiday this year.
First of all, feel free to head down to city hall, but you won’t be able to get in because city offices will be closed on Monday in observance of Memorial Day.
Also, there will be no trash or recycling collection that day. Instead, if your collection date was supposed to be Monday, it will instead take place on Tuesday, May 27. Tuesday’s collections will be moved back a day to Wednesday, May 28. All other collection days that week will remain the same.

oh, BTW, someone reminded the All High Council of the Fiefdom Of Greensboro that this day has something to do with people that made the ultimate sacrifice giving them and others the right to live free, but they apparently don’t consider that very important.
On behalf of my Brothers and Sisters in Arms and my relatives who made that sacrifice,You’re Welcome.
And to you alsoAlan, along with my friends and relatives several of whom didn’t come home.
THANK YOU!!!
And thanks to you also Alan, along with my friends and relatives several of whom didn’t come home.
THANK YOU!!!p
Thank you Rebel. I would ask that you and everyone else (even the cynical Chris) go to the Memorial Gardens and say thanks to those there. They are the people that deserve it.
What an arrogant BS statement. I would think a veteran would know better than to mark Memorial day with a statement full of such hateful BS. Most families in the US have someone close to them who has served. Including the people in your local government.
If you personally feel left out and forgotten, maybe you should lighten up on the rhetoric. You sound like Trump with his Mother’s Day post where he rants about his hate for liberals versus showing any appreciation for the actual purpose of the day.
But you be you.
Chris,
I love how you manage to twist and contort what Alan wrote. Please show where there was ANY “hateful BS” said.
The City of Greensboro put out things about a holiday yet didn’t say anything about the reason for the holiday.
As far as your sarcastic remark about “personally feel left out and forgotten”, neither myself, Alan, or any other veteran feel left out. We recognize, unlike you, this day is meant to remember and honor those no are longer with us and in many cases made the ultimate sacrifice, not have sales.
Finally, please point out the arrogance in anything he posted. What’s it like to be so full of hate that you go to that extent? I truly feel sorry for you being the bitter little man you project.
Alan as usual makes up a problem that isn’t real to fre himself a victim. Classic conservstive BS. Let’s walk through it slowly so you can follow along.
First he refers to the council as ‘All High Council’ in a pathetic attempt to paint them as arrogant overseers.
Second he refers to Greensboro as a fiefdom as another pathetic attempt to frame city leadership as a controlling overseers.
Third he claims, as usual, without any basis of truth, that they don’t care about the real purpose of memorial day.
Alan uses a farse accusation to express his hatred and disrespect for local government while attempting to paint himself as a victim of their ignoring HIS high respect for the holiday. That is his arrogance.
If you see that behavior as appropriate and not a true disrespect for the real purpose of the holiday, you are just as foolish and juvenile as he is.
But you be you.
Obviously Sir Chris you personally have never attended a city council or county commissioner’s meeting or you would understand why Alan feels the way he does. You little Wanker
Where have the acted in any way to ignore the purpose of memorial day as Alan claims?
Yes, PH, it is Chris whose remarks are dripping with hatred and venom.
He’s an angry little man. Mentally disturbed, too.
Austin projecting again. Yawn
“First he refers to the council as ‘All High Council’ in a pathetic attempt to paint them as arrogant overseers.”
They are, IMO.
“Second he refers to Greensboro as a fiefdom as another pathetic attempt to frame city leadership as a controlling overseers.”
It is and they are, IMO.
“Third he claims, as usual, without any basis of truth, that they don’t care about the real purpose of memorial day.”
If I missed the Proclamation, please show it to me so I can correct myself.
“Alan uses a farse accusation to express his hatred and disrespect for local government while attempting to paint himself as a victim of their ignoring HIS high respect for the holiday. That is his arrogance.”
I DO NOT have respect for them and won’t hide the fact. And I really, unlike you obviously, DO have a high respect for the holiday and what it honors for reasons you will never understand.
Austin, please slap me for letting this clown get to me. I couldn’t help myself.
It is no secret you dislike them given your history poorly writen accusations abkut democrats thst often lack and supprt justification for your hollow accusations.
Your memorial day comment is more of the same. What basis if any do you have for them ignoring the real purpose of memorial day? And even now you make provide no support for your childish name calling of the council other than you don’t like or repsect them.
Just…like…all…your….hollow.
..claims.
But you are right about one thing. You really do need a slap. Lmao
Chris you really are a bitter person What Alan said had no BS or bitterness in it. I’m going to ask you, have you personally ever visited the
Memorial Gardens or any Field of Honor. If not maybe you should and open your eyes and heart for the reason of its being. Again thank you Alan and all my friends and relatives who served and gave so much for the freedom all Americans have today
Using Memorial Day to falsely claim the council doesn’t care about the real purpose of the holiday while also disparaging their character with the juvenile labeling of them as ‘High Council’ and a ‘Fiefdom’ is very much BS and apPathetic approach to frame himself as a vet as both a victim and a person of higher standard.
Classic BS by a conservative. Trump does it all the time by wishing mothers a happy Mother’s Day, for example, with a single sentence and the in the same post ranting about lunatic liberals, etc… Alan has the same petty personality and thin skin and deserves to be called out for it.
But you be you.
Thank you Rebel, but as I tell people who say to me thank you for your service this day I tell them this day is for THEM, those that have gone before us. I know every vet feels the same way.
If you love and enjoy what you have, thank a vet for protecting it, but thank a fallen vet even more for paying the price to get it for you.
And you three are why most of us do t waste time reading the Rhino anymore. All of you are children. You are likely why it has declined in readership over the years. People are tired of you
