Art

A banana duct-taped to a wall sold for $6.2 million this month. We’re not art critics, but we’re pretty sure you don’t need to pay that much to see good art around the Twin City. (Smithsonian Magazine)

Seasonal

It would cost you nearly $50,000 to buy all the gifts from the “12 Days of Christmas” — up 3.6% from last year. Or you could just peruse our gift guide. Sorry, no partridges in pear trees here. (Tegna)

Between Chicago’s Jeremy Allen White doppleganger + New York’s Timothee Chalamet twin, we’re left wondering when Winston-Salem will host its own celebrity lookalike contest. In the meantime, read up on more famous people who have called the Twin City home. (CNN)
