8/2/2017
Winston-Salem has one of the most attractive residential neighborhoods in NC. Many streets are a tunnel of tall trees, medians on major roadways like sailas prkwy have a landscape of crape myrtles and planted annuals which all bloosem in summer months. The downtown has recently been revitalized without loosing any of its historical character which makes Winston-Salem what it is. It is a medium sized city with a low crime rate and a small town type of vibe. It's a great place to live, grow up in, raise a family, and retire too. Sadly it's not a good place for a near 40 year old single bachelor who is going through a transition from one career into another. I work independently, as an uber/Lyft driver where I have had a horrible experience maintaining a steady cash flow due to a lack of ridership. Winston-Salem is also not an industrial city as it once was, thus most of the job market falls within the service sectors like retail, health care etc. Most work establishments pay below the national average thus not serving my economic needs.
