Review of Winston-Salem, North Carolina


Disappointment
Star Rating - 8/11/2010
Since moving to the Winston-Salem area a couple of years ago, I have to say that I have not been very impressed. With a few exceptions, everything seems very old, run-down, shut-down, and dirty. I have lived in many beautiful cities such as Cary, NC, Annapolis, MD and Greenville, SC and this place definitely ranks among the lowest. As I said, there are diamonds in the rough around the city. Lewisville is a beautiful and quaint little town on the outskirts of Winston-Salem, that I would highly recommend if you are considering moving to this area. If you are moving from a fairly newly developed city, this area will be a disappointment for you.
