Come visit Winston Salem, where the only class is at Wake Forest University

Did you know that Winston Salem NC is the homegrounds of R.J.Reynolds Tobacco Company and in the 1940s 60% of the people living in Winston worked there. Talk about some good genes. Also, if you get up early enough on a humid morning you can smell the tobacco in the air. What a way to start off the day!

Winston Salem is also the home of one of the most beautiful skylines in the Piedmont area, beating out Yadkinville, High Point, and Ashboro. What is that beautiful building so strategically erected in the middle of the city you ask? You have never seen anything like this puppy, the Wachovia building. This incredible means of architecture stands 34 inches stories tall, and while you may not think it is SFW (safe for work), from the inside, this thing is a powerhouse.

Winston Salem is also the home of Krispy Kreme donuts. Their most recent addition has been the cheerwine donut. Complete with cheer wine flavored filling with a little fizzy punch, this delicacy packs a mean 430 calories. Luckily, after you have your morning indulgence of the KK donut, you can pack off the pounds that evenig at johnny and junes, Winston Salems local country bar. where locals ride the mechanical bull, drink bud diesels, and definetly definetly dont “wrap it up”…or brush their teeth.

Oh, you are in need for some adventure? Don’t worry the “mountains” are not far. Go visit Pilot Mountain, the “mountain” that looks like a nipple. In an hour you can reach the summit, needing no more than a water bottle and a camera to capture the view of the Triad below. Don’t know what the Triad is? Don’t worry, neither does anyone else living here. But its always “raining in the Triad area”.

Sports Fan? Winston-Salem is the home of the Dash. Very own Single A Baseball team. Tickets are cheep and the beer is not. The stadium is protested and took years to finish, however, once your in, you can pop a squat on the grass outfield. Don’t forget your white shorts. You can also check out the Wake Forest Demon Deacons basketball squad. Don’t worry, the 8-24 season of 2011 was simply a “rebuilding” year, and next year the hope is to beat our the Wake Forest Demon Deacons football team for closest to a .500 season.

Book your tickets now into the Piedmont Airport, where living is a vacation.
