[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Winston is dying, Richmond is ok and Lewisburg is really small. [/quote]

I disagree --Winston Salem is 200 times better now than it was ten to twenty years ago.  Most of the Wake grad students now chose to live in downtown because of all the new housing, restaurants and bars.  Hotel scene is also much better since the two Kimptons opened.  The Grounds development is going to be a boon to both the university and the city.[/quote]

20 years ago when it had thriving businesses headquartered there?  And now, the school is buying those things and hoping the state and healthcare spending save it makes it better.  Right.  [/quote]

I just looked it up bc this back and forth caught my interest:  in the last 25 years, all 15 of the publicly traded firms hq’ed in WS left or closed.  Wow.  Who knew.  In light of the growth of RTP and the power or UNC/State/Duke, and the significance of CLT overall, Winston has its hands full keeping up.  [/quote]
