WalkerFest: music, food, artists and home decor from the 'hood

July 10, 2011
GREENSBORO, N.C. - I spent today (Saturday) training for the start of my summer market coverage, which begins next week in Atlanta, ends in a month in New York, and includes a few days in Las Vegas in between.
My training ground was tWalker & Elam, WalkerfestThe inaugural Walkerfest, Walker & Elam, Greensboro, N.C. 2011he first ever "Walkerfest," a neighborhood music, arts and food festival that took place about four blocks from my front door.

I practiced my photo and interviewing skills on several of the artists and creators of home decor items who, like my husband and me, braved hours of 90-degree heat to enjoy a first-class sampling of music -- (Click here for the lineup).

AND, to all my High Point Market friends who ask about good local restaurants: next time you're here, put Walker & Elam Streets, Greensboro 27403 in your GPS for a top-notch selection that includes: Emma Key's flat-top diner, Sticks & Stones clay oven pizza, Fishbones and The Filling Station (and their new place, Josephine's, a few blocks away on Spring Jordan Grace OwensMy favorite exhibitor, Jordan Grace Owens Art & IllustrationGarden). We've got it pretty good over here.

Websites for the artists shown here: Jordan Grace Owens - jordangrace.com; Earthen Soul - etsy.com/shop/earthensoulceramics; Jay Jones Mobiles - jfjones.etsy.com.

 

 Ran into a few old friends, and a few new friends (like this guy in a WalkerFest t-shirt who let me take his pic).Ran into a few old friends, and met a few new.

Michael,It depends how you'd like to move along. If you're lnkoiog for someone else to create your site (which I think you are) then you probably want to start mapping out the blueprints to your site.Contact web firms in the area and ask if they can help you create a blueprint and how much they'll charge. You want to make sure that the architect has good knowledge of all areas of web design (experience design, interface design, technical design, search engine optimization, etc). To try and determine if they're any good, ask them for references of clients they've helped in this arena before. They should have gone through a similar process when building websites for clients. Call and see if the client was satisfied with the results.After you have blueprints it's much easier to get real estimates and determine next steps. The blueprint can also help tell you if some of your site can be built now and some later (which might save initial costs).
