 | | News & Record staff artist Tim Rickard, using 1940s photos, street maps and city directories, has recreated a busy corner of East Market as it might have looked in the 1940s, the heyday for East Market Street. |
 | | East Market was a second downtown for the fl community, in the decades before Greensboro was integrated with the civil rights movement, part of which began here with the Woolworth lunch counter sit-in starting Feb. 1, 1960. |
