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.
Not too big and not too small, excellent history and charm all while being up to date. The city has kept older downtown buildings and revitalized them as apartments, gyms, bars and restaurants. Friendly locals and easy to get around. Great food and music!
Overall, I believe that Winston-Salem is a city filled with culture and diversity. Now, it's not the biggest city in North Carolina, and it's nowhere near the size of a Charlotte or Raleigh. But despite that, Winston feels like a tightly-knit community.
Winston-Salem has a very progressive community. There are quite a lot of great restaurants and many cultural areas such as Diggs Gallery, which has a great appreciation for the African arts.
There is also Bailey Park, which is a nice area in Downtown Winston, that is perfect for many things such as small gatherings and picnics, listening to local artists, and vendors. All to bring the community of Winston together.
Winston-Salem as a whole is wonderful because it allows you to do so much despite not being such a large city. The community is amazing, and a large emphasis is placed on its fine arts and history.
