1 1 !,...... TWIN By Kammy Eggleston he twin-city of North Carolina, considered the economic center of northwest North Carolina, is the fourth most populated city in the state. Thus, creating a highly rated place to live. However, it wasn't this way overnight. It took the Moravians back in the early 1700's to start this town off right, begin- ning with Old Salem. The Moravians, a Prostestant denomi- nation, settled Salem in search of religious freedom. The skills and craftmanship they brought along still thrive today in renovat- ed Old Salem, near downtown Winston. There still stands Salem College, one of the first national colleges for women, and an authentic craft shop for souvenirs, among other renovated homes and busi- ness. Winston, founded in 1849, brought more industry to the area and finally merged with Salem to form Winston-Sa- E' Nicole Schram CITY lem in 1913, which brings us to today. Winston-Salem is the state for many corporate headquarters such as R.J. To- bacco, Piedmont Air Line, Wachovia Bank, and Krispy Kreme Doughnuts. It has one of the highest employment rates in North Carolina, and according to the Chamber of Commerce, unionization per- cents are very low. Recreation is very much a part of the city with a wide range of activities from which to choose. For the serious type there are eleven public golf courses, over 100 city tennis courts, not to mention, archery, and bowling facilities. The light-hearted type might love the ten public swimming pools, horseback riding, soccer, and ice- skating for winter entertainment. Besides a big business center and diver- sified recreation, Winston-Salem is very much a cultural center. It host five muse- ums, thirteen art galleries, three theaters, BY A GUIDING STAR: A traditional Moravian Star hangs from the balcony of Home Moravian Church in Old Salem. The sight of a Moravian Church is not uncommon. Their cheery, helpful com- munity service is a welcome asset to Winston-Salem. The Moravians settled the town centuries ago. Pre- sent-day churches still keep the past live by holding tours, special services and The Candle Tea at Christ- mas.
