Post office influences city name
Winston-Salem was founded in 1913 from two separate towns a mile apart. Winston was named in 1851 after Major Joseph Winston, a Revolutionary War hero. Salem, from the Hebrew word "shalom," was created by colonists in 1766. In the 1880s, the U.S. Post Office started to refer to the towns with the two names together as Winston-Salem. Following a decade of contention, the U.S. Post Office established the Winston-Salem post office in 1899, officially incorporating the name "Winston-Salem."From big box to local retail
For grocery shopping, residents have a few choices, including Publix, Harris Teeter, Food Lion and Trader Joe's, all within a 2-mile drive from anywhere in the neighborhood. Knollwood-Hanestown has a few independent businesses like the woman-owned Southern Home & Kitchen, which offers the latest in home décor, cooking classes and kids' camps. Locals can drive 1.4 miles via local roads to Hanes Mall, the only indoor mall in Winston-Salem, which features chain store favorites like Belk, Dillard's, Macy's, JCPenney and Old Navy. The complex sits off Stratford Road, the main thoroughfare throughout the city. "The majority of the residents do their shopping at Hanes Mall Boulevard and Stratford Road," Katsamas says. A local favorite. the Loop Restaurant is a 1-mile drive via back roads. The eatery has been serving burgers, pizza and milkshakes to the Winston-Salem community since 2002. For a more extensive dining selection, residents can head downtown, where they'll find 75 restaurants and 30 bars and breweries.

Universities and hospitals good for local economy
"The hospitals and universities bring in new people and provide employment for residents," Katsamas says. Though there are a couple of Winston-Salem Transit Authority bus stops nearby, most people rely on their cars for transportation. Piedmont Triad International Airport is a 28-mile drive via I-40 E.
