While men tend to do things that certainly allow us to figure out why women often live longer, it is in these instances that we come to respect and value the mind of a man. From the way men think, to how they simply just are, men have the ability to inspire. For men are not often anchors to hold us back or a ball to hurdle us forward; they simply act as a guiding light to help show us the way.

FIRST NATIONAL BANK FIELD Located in the heart of downtown Greensboro, First National Bank Field is home to the minor league baseball team the Greensboro Grasshoppers. In addition to its regularly scheduled baseball games, the stadium has also hosted an ACC tournament, a tournament that got the park the North Carolina record for college baseball game attendance.

The park houses 36 concession stands, essentially providing you everything you could ask for at a minor league stadium. From typical stadium snacks, including funnel cakes, peanuts and more, to grilled chicken sandwiches, chopped brisket and street tacos, the variety is sure to surprise.

The stadium offers bottled water, soda and lemonade as well as a variety of alcohol, including local beer from Natty Greene’s and the GoTriad grandstand outdoor sports bar.

The field features 16 luxury suites, 26 grandstand boxes, a party deck and 30-foot-wide open concrete concourse that wraps around the ballpark. This gives fans the opportunity to see the game from any vantage point in the stadium.

DRIVER’S NOTEBOOK

The Last Car BY W.O. Bentley THE UNSUNG 1931 BENTLEY 4-LITER

ARTICLE MIRABELLA KNIGHT | PHOTOGRAPHY KURT FURGER

/year 1931 /make Bentley /model 4-Liter

18

Greensboro Lifestyle | June 2019

THIS OPEN-TOP 1931 BENTLEY 4-LITER IS ONE OF 50 EVER MADE AND ONE OF ONLY 31 SURVIVING. Incentivized by numbers and born from a last-ditch effort, this was the last model built by W.O. Bentley himself before his company went into receivership and turned over to Rolls-Royce.

Building cars bigger and bigger, both in size and capacity, it was atypical for Bentley to backtrack to the smaller engine. The 120 horsepower 4-liter was placed on top of the 8-liter chassis and thus, underperformed. Today, many of the surviving chassis, such as this one, are equipped with 6.5- or 8-liter engines.

As of 10 years ago, Kurt Furger took ownership and has completed 25,000 miles, including the Colorado Grand nine times, a trek he says requires “strong arms and shoulders to wheel through the hairpins” on mountain roads. Currently, the car is on the annual North American vintage Bentley tour, specifically special due to Bentley’s centenary this year.

The FADE

+

what it is There are many different types of fades, but ultimately a fade haircut is one that tapers in length the further down you go on the back and sides, meaning it isn’t trimmed to just one standard length all around. The level of fade (low, mid or high) depends on what point the shortest part of the hair begins to fade into a longer length.

ASK FOR Taper fade, low fade, mid fade, high fade or skin fade

+

what it is This popular style is good for many types of hair as long as you have a lot of it. You’ll need length in the front, back and sides generally long enough to at least brush your shoulders.

KEEP IT CLEAN Be sure to keep your sideburns and neckline trimmed even as your hair grows out.

The quiff

+

what it is Closely related to the pompadour, the quiff haircut requires longer hair in the front and shorter hair in the back.

The longer hair in the front is brushed upward and back from the forehead and away from the face. This look can be sleek and shiny for a classic look or texturized and matte for a modern take.

ASK FOR Short sides and a long textured top. Be sure enough hair is left on top to brush back instead of standing straight up.
