Number
$5.3 million. That’s the gift that’ll keep on giving at the UNCSA campus. The large donation will support library programs like new technology, a sensory space for students, and new equipment at the main campus library. Renovations are scheduled to be done by fall 2026.
Answered
The grades are in. Earlier this week, we asked how much the Zevely’s House cost, and 43% of you got this right — $15,000. Read the fascinating history behind this family home that turned into an upscale restaurant.
Watch
The destination is set for “The White Lotus” Season 4, and it’s looking very French. Filming hasn’t started yet, so there’s plenty of time to enroll in a crash course of the language — or, you could start planning your watch party meals with Tous Les Jours. (Deadline)
Sports
VISA cardholders can now register for the 2026 FIFA World Cup tickets pre-sale through next Friday, Sept. 19. If selected, applicants will be assigned a time slot to purchase tickets on or after Oct. 1. Atlanta is the closest host city to Winston-Salem.
Finance
Gold is as hot as ever, with its price per ounce crossing $3,400 in August. A gold IRA can be a smart way to own gold and add stability to your retirement portfolio — but with added tax benefits, plus $20,000 in free metals on qualifying purchases. See one of Money’s top picks.†*
Number
41. That’s how many years of serving families of children in medical treatment our local Ronald McDonald House is celebrating this month. Donate or volunteer to help the RMHCPT continue to provide a place to stay, hot meals, holiday gifts, and emotional support.*
