2 New Stores on Fourth Street, Brushy Fork Greenway Opens

Unique Home Expressions, a gift shop for home and garden accessories, will be opening in Suite 101A at 500 W. Fourth Street next to the Eyecarecenter in the space previously occupied by Nu Shoes.  Downtown Brody's Bar opened last week near King's Crab Shack and Oyster Bar at 249 W. Fourth Street and was described by its owner as having a "Cheers" feel.

In other news, Mayor Allen Joines cut the ribbon officially opening the Brushy Fork Greenway today, July 10th.  Although only .4 miles in length, the trail connects with the 1.2 mile Newell-Massey Greenway and per Forsyth County's recently updated Greenway Plan, will eventually be connected to the much longer Salem Lake Trail and Salem Creek Greenway.  Click here for a brochure of existing greenway trails in Winston-Salem.

Greenway Plan Adopted

This is the logo for W-S Greenways, a citizen group that advocates for more greenways.

Winston-Salem City Council approved the plan, which is an update of the 2002 Greenway Plan on Monday, June 5th.  The plan will guide the construction of new greenways and bike trails  for the next 10-15 years and urges connectivity between existing greenways.  It does not propose any previously unproposed greenways and does not allocate any further monies toward greenway construction.   This is a link to Winston-Salem Greenways.
