Two chances to see me...

Post by Groceteria »

…the best sleeping pill on earth!

If you happen to be in the neighborhood next week:

High Point Historical Society Presents: Guilford County’s Grocery Store History
The High Point Historical Society will be hosting David Gwynn, librarian, urbanist, and retail historian at UNCG. As the creator of Groceteria.com, one of the first and largest websites devoted to supermarket history, Gwynn will speak on the history of grocery stores in Guilford County. The Historical Society will put on a food drive in conjunction with this event with more information to follow. Free and Open to the Public.

By the Book: NC Triad Beer History at Oden Brewing Co.
Join us as we launch a new year of By the Book programs with a special evening out at Oden Brewing Co. Local beer historians Richard Cox, David Gwynn and Erin Lawrimore narrate the history of the Triad brewing industry, from early Moravian communities to the operators of nineteenth-century saloons and from Big Beer factories to modern craft breweries. The authors cofounded Well Crafted NC (www.wellcraftednc.com), a project focused on documenting the history of beer and brewing in North Carolina through historical research, oral history interviews with industry professionals and the collection of records from modern craft breweries. After conversation and questions with authors, stick around for some Trivia Tuesday takeover at 7 pm. You’ll need your best knowledge of brewing facts and Greensboro history to compete!

If only I wasn't three days away by car...sigh.

Will any of these be livestreamed or recorded?

No streaming or recording plans that I know of but I may try to record one of them on my own.

I forgot to mention there’s also an interview/article with me regarding the one in High Point:

Great lecture, David! Who would've thought it would start with snuff, and lead to gardenia seeds...

Thanks! It's North Carolina, so it's almost required that you lead with a tobacco product.
