Wondering if anyone knows of anywhere in or around Winston that stock/have crappie that I can fish at? Right now the closest place I’ve found is Tuckertown Lake near the High Rock Dam but that’s almost an hour drive and I’d like to avoid that if possible. Any advice or spots are much appreciated! TIA!

I'm just a DIY homeowner building a retaining wall for my driveway. I've already done the base and foundation. Just need a few hands to put blocks into my skid steer, so I can drive it to the wall and then unload onto said wall. With multiple hands it should go pretty quick, but it'll be two 8-10 hr days. If we get done early I'll pay at least 8hr regardless.

My only rule is no a$$holes, and I promise to also follow that rule!

DM me for more details

German shepherd with red collar, seems like a friendly and smart dog but ran from me so I did not chase him. Corner of Old Belews Creek rd and Silver Chalice. Last seen running up Belews Creek.

Hi friends as the deadline grows closer here’s a reminder of many ways to pay your property taxes

I do not recommend going in person to the county office during the last two weeks of December unless you want to wait in line for a very long time (but you do you)

BTW - did you know you don’t have to pay all at once? You can make multiple smaller payments as many times as you want (fees may be associated with payment method)

Ways to pay with NO fees
1. Check either in person, by mail, or the building drop box
2. Cash in person DO NOT send cash in the mail
3. Money order either in person, by mail, or the building drop box

Ways to pay with fees
1. Online at the Forsyth county website with card or Echeck
2. Over the phone with an automated service with card or Echeck
3. In person with card (debit or credit)

Also! If you cannot make the payments by the deadline, once the deadline has passed you can request to create a payment plan with a county revenue collector so you avoid garnishment. Interest and fees may apply, but hey better than garnishment

Does anyone work at Costco that can help with an application I’ve submitted? It’s for the payroll clerk. Dm me if possible or if you could connect me with someone please.

To the young guy that took a homeless man into Yamas and bought him lunch today: thanks for being a decent human. I'm glad I share this city with you.

Can anyone recommend somewhere that does car alignments that are not overly priced thank you for the recommendations have a great Thursday!

okay yall let me be fat for a second and ask this question: where are the mcdonald’s pumpkin pies?? any workers know why they’re not back for a second year in a row 😭

Which is normal. Just wanted to share

Is it a requirement to be incompetent and rude to be an employee here? I’ve gone to this location so many times, and 90% of the time it’s like pulling teeth with the employees asking for basic things. Like 10% of you are angels but the other 90% leave much to be desired.

We had our first Winston Salem Scrabble Club meeting of our newly reorganized club at Barnes and Noble last night and it was a success! We had 7 people in total last night ranging from casual players to tournament level players including some people who came from the Reddit posting.

We will continue to meet each Tuesday night from 5:30 PM to 9:30 PM ongoing.

We welcome players of all ability levels. Nothing is required - just show up and play.

More information is posted on our new site here:

Let me know if you have any questions.

At 10:45 am 10/14 a vehicle fire was reported in the parking deck. All offices and businesses have been evacuated. Firefighters currently on scene.

Does anyone know why Swan Lake at RJR was canceled last night? It seems that must’ve been something big to cancel the night before.

Hey! I’m 21M and live in Kernersville. Looking for someone with a YMCA membership who’d be down to work out, swim, hang out, or just become friends!
I’m into lifting and anything athletic. I’ve been wanting to try racquetball and I just got back into running so a running buddy would be cool too.
I’m willing to go to the YMCAs in Kernersville, Winston-Salem, Greensboro, Jamestown, or High Point.
If you’re looking for a gym buddy or just someone new to hang out with, feel free to message me!

Does anyone know what was on fire there? There was lot of smoke around 3:15 pm and now there’s an area that looks burnt.

Hi, this is my first year living in Winston-Salem. I was curious if the typical temperature change and foliage coloration of fall are not felt until late October/early November like this every year? Or if this is a result of the dry summer we had. Thanks!

It Was A Matter Of Time, and hopefully these other organizations that are out here using the Homeless as their way to collect donations (money) I hope are next.

Winston-Salem Wake - Up

- there is no help in Winston Salem I am sure you have heard that, well it's TRUE.

- we have people out here flying under the radar using "Community Outreach" and asking for "Donations (money)" to help feed and cloth the homeless so they don't have to report how much money comes in and don't have to report where it goes. The claim to "Feed The Homeless" and "Cloth the Homeless". Not True !!

- we are starving out here, we may see that truck once every three weeks if that. Some homeless people out here don't even know what the truck looks like, never seen it.

- all we see are Brand New Campers and Brand New Trucks to pull the Brand New Campers, then it's all about a Brand New Twin Engine Boat, then it's vacations after vacations is all we ever see .

- I rode the bus with a Homeless Person the other day, he had appointment at "City of Dwellings". We get inside and find a Director, she had some great news for him. She asked him "if he knew what cardboard was" ? He said "Yes" - the director told him find a marker and write down all your needs, then find a busy intersection and hold your cardboard up and you will start getting help for some of your needs". That is 100% exactly what he was told to do, because the Director insisted her organization is running off limit funding.

- Next we called Crisis Control for food.

The lady answered the phone asked my friend, "where he was living and how was he going to cook the food" ? He simply answered "in a Tent and I have propane burners to cook with". She came back and said, "well you don't qualify" "you don't have anywhere to store the food and you don't have anyway to prepare the food".

- He then called Sunny Side Ministries and they told him "they have to many people on the list now that he needs to call 211"

- so he did, he called 211 ... What a joke !! A lady answered and asked him to hold. She came back 34 minutes later and apologized she had forgot someone was on hold. She did agree that there is hardly any help in Winston Salem but he could try to call the United Way Directly.

- he called United Way and a man answered and said he could put this man in a hotel for as long as the referral says. But first you had to play a game of guess where the referral came from. After about 45 minutes of guessing he finally got it right.

- the city of Dwellings is running the United Way in Winston-Salem. How in the world is that happening but it is.

My friend called the Director and asked her could she please give him a referral for the United Way so he could rest up in a hotel for a night or two. This Director became furious and wanted to know how he knew about that., then she told him that "he was wrong there are no organizations in Winston-Salem that help with hotels and the man at United Way did not know what he was saying". That is 100% accurate Straight Facts.

Next he called Red Cross and was told "If you are involved in a House Fire they can help, if no fire then NO." She mentioned calling Salvation Army.

He did - sitting beside him, he called Salvation Army and talked with the coordinator. She told him, "they are not helping anyone at this time that all funds have been cut" she then directed him to call 211.

Instead of calling 211 again, we both looked on Google for some assistance with food, water, shelter, ect ..

- we found a lady from King who is running Eight Ministries. She goes to church in Winston Salem but runs these ministries as a side hustle and everyone stated that clothes were a plenty. That in order for this ministry to help the homeless donations (money) would be the only thing they are accepting at this time. All eight had the same message asking for donations but stressed (money). When we called numbers they had been disconnected or changed. We finally got a hold of a lady who had one of the ministries old number and gave us the new number to the ministry. We called that number and a lady answered and said " they were shutting down til sometime in November" "they hit a snag and the funds have been slow"

- last thing we did was call a couple of churches and ask if they had any type of assistance for the homeless ? Every church we called said "We give all our money to one of the organizations I have mentioned" so we called the one that we heard the most that most churches were sending their funds too.

When this lady answered who had told us "No Funds" we mentioned that several churches are donating their funds so they don't have to worry about the homeless they just direct them to your organizations. This lady slammed the phone down, I could barely hear her in the background. She was calling for someone to come into the room, once the other person was in the room she wanted to know which church had said that. So I told her the ones that told me they send their funds to her organizations. She started screaming and said "that's a damn lie" every church I told her she said again, "That is a damn lie for me to call the church back and asked them why do they lie". We never called any church back to ask them that question but we can say "Someone is Lying"

We can say "The homeless out here see very little from organizations". Maybe a blanket here or there or hand warmers but very rarely. When it was 12 degrees outside last winter, I called over 100 places in Winston Salem because I had become very sick and was dying out in that cold. I lost a toe do to the cold and everyone told me to go to a shelter. The shelters where full !! They would tell me "We are sorry but nothing we can do" you have no idea how hard it is to sleep in 12 degree weather and add hungry on top of that. It is brutal out here and we wish if you are going to say you need funds (money) to help the homeless then help.

We never see it, the lady who delivers food her niece is out here and she gets hotels quite a bit but if you ask for a hotel the lady will block your number

Was riding by on SCP and could see an ambulance and possibly a fire truck through the woods with no lights on just sitting there.

I have informed delivery and get notifications showing the mail coming for that day but some days they run early, some days late and some days not at all! Calling the post office is a joke 🤦!
