Greensboro’s Breaking Point: Restaurant Closures and the Reality Facing Local Cities | Locked In

Greensboro is facing a different kind of economic moment. In this long-form conversation, Algenon Cash sits down with former Mayor Robbie Perkins to discuss the recent wave of restaurant and small business closures across Greensboro—and why this season feels fundamentally different. They explore the decline of downtown Greensboro, including public safety concerns, homelessness, cleanliness, and why many residents are choosing to stay away from the center city. The conversation also addresses the loss of legacy restaurants, the limits of local leadership, the role of downtown organizations, and why revitalization now requires real capital investment. This is not a political debate. It’s an honest discussion about economic reality, community strain, and what it will take to move forward.
