Many of the citys residents avoid using the whole name of the twin city and mention just Winston in their informal speech, stating that its quickly pronounced.

Before describing life at Winston-Salem, for those of you who are thinking wild about the origin of the twin city, well think no more. It begins with Salem and Winston as being two small towns. Salem was born in 1753, as an arrangement carried out for a site. The town, despite its rapid growth and development, could not alone stand up to the mark and hence a need aroused of another small town.

This is where Winston town came in after a lot of struggle for the right selection of another area. Salem meaning peace was a typical of the Moravian worshippers with huge public buildings of these worshippers gathering around the Salem square. This preaching by the Moravian churches attracts and increases the number of worshippers each year and also earning name for Winston-Salem.

A century later after Salems birth, Winston came along, by efforts of a local hero known to the town of Salem then. Not long when both the small towns merged together to buy a new name, Winston-Salem. Since the city is also nick named the camel city(because of the camel cigarettes), the tobacco company has a large contribution in fame of the twin city.

Apart from the tobacco company, other early businesses gave Winston-Salem city a boom. Be it preparation of a carbonic drink later changed to Winston-Salem Bottling Works, newspaper business, or else the making of a yummiest barbecue sauce that later struck the Southeast U.S, even an airline service was drawn so that people interested to visit the city faced no hurdles reaching it.

After the birth of the twin city, racial make up was calculated as whites running the race, following them were afro-Americans, in line came the native Americans with Asians behind them and then came in other minute races too.

Mentioning the huge buildings, one such building is restricted for the private university. Not only for the higher studies but the twin city also includes buildings for schools and colleges where students tend to learn about the diversification of subjects and practical exposure too. All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy, therefore the city also includes venues that are sports related.

Hockey and basket ball are a part of the sports package too.Entertainment brings along museums which also happens to be an important part of the twin city heritage. Chronicles of the making of Winston-Salem together and separate history is all a part of the museums.

Youngsters are not ignored as there is an interactive museum for children making them aware of science and its working; also the children museum includes literature, stories and fairy tales. Mentioning the word entertainment without art is a joke itself.
