Health - 9/11/2007

If you need medical care, this is a great place to be. With Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center and Forsyth Hospital, we can handle just about anything. The presence of the hospitals means that the city is full of physicians of all types. But you may need them. The air quality here is pretty bad as a result of factory pollution drifting down from the Midwest and our own autos. It's superior to LA or Beijing, but that's not saying much. Combine that with heat and humidity and you may have problems.

Climate - 9/11/2007

Winters are fine here. It is not Florida, and it can get very cold. (I remember a day at -1 a few tears back.) But that's the exception. In contrast, summers are awful. We have had almost 60 days this year of 90-degree+ high temperatures, and humidity to match.

City Revitalization - 8/21/2007

The Downtown Winston-Salem has seen a strong revitalization effort in recent years. There are many enticing unique restaurants, pubs, deli's and bed and breakfast dining options in the area. The Downtown area also spotlights many Arts and Crafts shops, galleries and museums along Trade Street and adjoining streets. Along with the new, the old holds its own with Old Salem. An early Moravian settlement, this site holds Salem Academy, Salem College, Old Salem shops, museums and restaurants along with some old and new housing opportunities.

Housing Value is Excellent - 6/29/2006

I moved to Winston-Salem last year from Nevada. I immediately found a much better value for housing. In the Triad area, it is possible to build a very nice family home, 2000 sq. ft. for under $175k.
