In order to celebrate what’s unique about our city, last week we asked: “What’s something that’s considered totally normal in Winston-Salem but nowhere else?” Here’s what you said:
- “Naming your minor league mascot The Dash because your city name has a hyphen in it” — Doris B.
- "(Moravian) Bands playing all over the city on Easter Sunday morning” — Annie M.
- “Pronouncing Buena Vista " — Anonymous reader. (Some people here say “Byou-nah vista” instead of “Bweh-na-vista”)
- “Consider Easter Monday a holiday” — EM
- “Winston-Salem is written with a hyphen, not a dash and the naming of the baseball team The Dash, perpetuates misunderstanding” Annie J.
City Editor Cambridge also added her take:
- Reminding people that the Empire State Building was inspired by our city
- Exploring, exercising, and shopping at historic sites like Old Salem + Reynolda Village
We love our city, quirks and all.
