Good morning, Greensboro.

Officials dedicated the Melvin and Ruth Witcher Adult Day Center courtyard on June 23 during overcast weather at Pennybyrn’s Healthcare Center.

The new courtyard (requiring 200,000 tons of dirt and rocks) features a bubbling fountain and lush landscaping, honoring Doug Witcher’s father and his passion for landscaping.

Foreign Cars Italia, a dealership featuring Aston Martin+Ferrari+Maserati+Porsche vehicles since 1993, was sold for $20.8 million to Hendrick Automotive Group.

The sale marks a change in local luxury car offerings.

North Carolina law allows poppers, sparklers, fountains and nonflying novelty items for July 4 while banning any firework that leaves the ground with violations punishable by up to $500 or six months in jail.

Safety experts advise that an adult handle displays and that spectators keep a 30 feet distance.

With Fourth of July ahead, Greensboro police plan to set up DUI checkpoints and enforce road closures as part of Operation Firecracker until July 5 (closures include downtown on Elm Street and Friendly Avenue starting Friday) to manage increased traffic and keep roads safe.

Families in Greensboro are preparing for the 250th Fourth of July amid very high temperatures, with local doctors and EMS advising plenty of water, shade, and air conditioning to keep kids and older loved ones safe, plus cooling measures planned at community events.

A mechanic advises drivers to roll down their windows first so the trapped heat in their aluminum cars is released before gradually engaging the AC in extreme heat; he suggests keeping the temperature at least 20 degrees cooler than outside (regular maintenance helps prevent overwork) for efficient cooling.
