I remember when I first moved to Greensboro a little over a
year now and my brother Kyle and I when on a bike ride around town. We crossed
town and after a ride through UNCG campus, we headed home, via Lee Street. As
we were passing by the mysterious building to my left, I asked Kyle, “hey, what
happens in that building?” He has lived in Greensboro for the past seven years
and he had no idea what happen at the industries of the blind. Now I have had
the pleasure of viewing and learning about this building myself. When I first
re-approached the building, and the previous memory quickly passed through my
head, I felt the mysterious feeling pulse from the building yet again. I walked
in and nothing was too memorable until the interesting plant scene going on
underneath the stairwell. Fake plastic plants. As a class, we made our way to
the conference room where we were going to meet Mr. Lopresti. He was very
energetic about the employees who worked there and he wanted to get their story
out. He seemed very excited to have us, I was very intrigued and could not wait
to see the rest of the building and meet some of the employees. He led us down
to the factor area and we were able to observe some of the workers hard at
work. I enjoyed how enthused they were about their jobs. I was so glad I was
able to view this place and meet some of the employees within.
