It was great to see so many of you as we rode through the streets of downtown Greensboro and Winston-Salem during the Christmas parades last Saturday.
The weather was actually quite warm in Greensboro (as long as you were in the sun---as we were most of the time), and we didn't even need our jackets. It was a little cooler in Winston-Salem (that parade began at 5pm) as the sun set.
But it was heartwarming to wave and speak to many of our viewers face-to-face, and from our angle---there were A LOT of them lining the streets. It's not often we get to make eye contact with so many regular watchers at one time. Again, thanks!
Many thanks, too, to Rice Toyota of Greensboro for graciously providing the great Solara convertible we used. (We got many compliments on that car!)
Check out some of the pictures I took at the Greensboro parade in my new album. (I didn't take any in Winston-Salem because it was dark and the flash only carries so far.) The little girl in the back seat next to Julie and me is my 8-year-old, Lentz. Her mom and big sister were out of town Saturday---so she tagged along with us. She had a GREAT time!
Thanks again for making these memorable holiday happenings.

Yes, that's my real name. It's actually a common and historic Scottish name. (Try "google-ing" it and see how many results you get.) In fact, it's my understanding the first McNeill to arrive in North Carolina from Scotland was a "Neill McNeill." I'm a native Tar Heel who's spent the last 20+ years "growing up" at the same television station. I'll try to use this blog to fill you in on some of the inner-workings of local tv news. Here we go----
