Good morning, Greensboro.

Peeler Pool reopens today in Greensboro after a six-year closure that began in 2019, and a free cookout starts at noon with the pool remaining open until Labor Day—officials noted that a technical issue delayed its June 16 reopening.

Community members look forward to making new memories at this long-awaited summer amenity.

Benjamin Cole, aged 47, was freed Wednesday after nearly 27 years in prison when a judge vacated his first-degree murder conviction in a plea deal—he always maintained his innocence and said he was in Ohio at the time of the 1998 killing in a Greensboro apartment, and he was reunited with his mother.

Authorities arrested Jordan Jefferson (37) and Saadia Owen (32), the teacher from Southern Guilford Middle School, after a fentanyl bust that seized about 1,250 grams; Jefferson received no bond while Owen’s bond was set at $3 million.

Yesterday at the Depot, city officials and residents discussed Greensboro’s plan to build 10,000 new homes by 2030 as new companies bring jobs to our growing city.
