Why waste your time in this forum when you could be packing? There’s no need trying to convince you there is something worthwhile doing here. Life as all about attitude, and there is the strongest possibility you’ll re-meet unhappiness elsewhere.

Winston Salem native here. I guess all that's nice, but I have always detested the area and cannot wait to leave. I'd never have guessed that this little city would be considered an IT magnet. Can't see how it ranks as a desirable place to live though, when you factor in the crime rate for its size. As for visitors, there is nothing to see here outside of Old Salem, IMO.
There are going to be some that like where they live, love it, dislike it, or hate it. Yeah, I hate Winston-Salem. I always have, at least since my teens. I've lived other places that I have actually liked better: Charlotte, London (UK)...or hated more: Durham, and some hellhole in Kentucky. If you like this city, fine. I'm glad for you. But don't get your knockers in a wad because others don't. Oh, and if it's anyone on CD's biz, I'm getting the heck out next year. January. You can maybe buy my house out here in the sticks and get with the local rednecks on the weekend to shoot your guns. LOL.
