Locals can enjoy monthly movie nights at sunset with a/perture cinema, featuring films like “Top Gun,” “Cars,” and “Back to the Future.”
Jane Fonda will star in a film adaptation of “The Correspondent,” the best-selling novel written by Winston-Salem resident Virginia Evans. Fun fact: Evans wrote the book from a clothes closet inside a local townhouse. (Winston-Salem Journal)
Pets
