I am a Winston Salem native and I love this city! We are a city full of art displays and culture. What I love most about Winston-Salem is the diversity, the people, and the ambiance. Going downtown is like a breath of fresh air, unlike other towns that can be stuffy in that area. Our downtown is filled with street art and formal art. The only thing I would change is the cost of living. It is becoming more and more popular which makes things more expensive.
I have lived in Winston Salem for approximately 20 years. Winston Salem is a diverse city with the potential of lots of growth. Wonderful city to have balance. If you're seeking career growth, Winston Salem has cutting edge companies/organizations that will help you acheive what you're looking for. Night life and entertainment is a nice balance. A beautful downtown area thats strong in the arts! Beautiful city for beautiful people.
Living in Winston Salem after moving from Tucson, Arizona has been only mildly impressive. I'm primarily thankful for the nuance of beautiful greenery across the landscape and lower cost of living. The people in Winston Salem have been a hit or miss in a huge way. Attitudes could use some adjusting and overall positive friendliness would go a long way (as it may anywhere). Customer service culture out here is incredibly out the window. Driving here feels extremely chaotic with no grid system or sense of predictable "areas". Instead it can feel unsafe and upscale all on the same block, or run-down and safe just the same. When it comes to food here, I feel my taste-buds settling drastically from my competitive foodie hometown. However I am a fan of the attention to style and fashion. Thrift stores are full of good finds and I'd imagine the malls would be too. Lastly, I wish there were more parks, or at least easier to find, with how gorgeous the outdoors are.
