The DAV can be very helpful to Veterans providing that you get past the constant busy signal when…read moreyou call the office number. Also you must call on a day when they are not in training which seems to be twice a week from my experience. And if you do happen to get someone to answer the phone and you leave a message to receive a call back, don't be fooled into thinking they will return your call sometime that same day or week. When dealing with the Winston-Salem DAV you must assume the same attitude as when dealing with Veterans Affairs, you may get an answer but youll have to guess as to when and where it may come from. Good luck to you, youre gonna need it.

While it might be missed it still might help prevent folks from standing in line for 10 minutes (or longer?!) before they notice the signs posted at the windows (one of which is taped to the counter so you don't see it until you reach the window).

It's the closest station, but it's really not worth going. Instead of being welcoming, they barely open their mouths to address you. You ask a question, they'll point to a poster instead of answering. Happy employees don't represent a company so brazenly. Take note. I gave the woman at the counter the package in her hand. On the screen, I selected how I wanted it to ship. The 3 mood faces are next, I select the smile. In hindsight, I regret that error. She tells me the price and I ask how much are stamps. I'm told $16.. for 20, they only have books. Then I ask how much is it going up to. I expect her to tell me the cost of the book again. She cites the cost of 1 stamp and points to the small poster display, which also has it per stamp, not a book. I then calculate the difference, by this time she's so exhausted and no longer able to stand so she flops in her chair. I've frustrated her apparently. BTW, this was at 11:45 - the day is just getting started. She asked, do you want stamps? "No", since her attitude annoyed me. I pay. Instead of extending the receipt for my reach, she deliberately places it on the counter. Older generations know that placing something on a counter instead of in someone's hand is highly disrespectful, especially if it's transactional. And, she appears old enough to know this norm. I strongly suggest that the mood faces be displayed rt before you pay and not before, because service goes down from there! If I have the unfortunate luck of returning... they will be getting a frown from hence forth.

In downtown Winston-Salem, the current Forsyth County Courthouse doesn't try to charm you with…read moreornate flourishes as much as it asserts itself with the clean, modern lines of a government building built for heavy daily use. The present courthouse, completed between 2020 and 2023 is a six-story brick, concrete and glass structure with a flat roofline and a two story steel and glass porch on its west front. Inside, it holds 17 courtrooms and 3 hearing rooms, all arranged along escalators and public elevators that make the building feel more like a contemporary civic center than a traditional courthouse. What makes this site interesting is how it sits in a long lineage of Forsyth County courthouses. The previous courthouse, completed in 1976 and known as the Forsyth County Hall of Justice is still standing, as is the even earlier 1897 courthouse that was remodeled in 1926/1927 and later converted into apartments. Forsyth County itself was formed in 1849 from part of Stokes County and named for Colonel Benjamin Forsyth, a War of 1812 officer who was mortally wounded in battle. The courthouse sits in the middle of city shaped by a unique civil merger. Winston and Salem began as separate towns, one a Moravian settlement dating to 1766 and the other established in 1849. After an unsuccessful attempt in 1879, the two communities finally voted to consolidate in 1913, creating Winston-Salem and setting the stage for the city's rapid twentieth century growth. The building is easy to visit and photograph though parking in downtown during the week can be a challenge. And note that cell phones are not permitted inside the building, not even in the lobby. On a Saturday morning, it was easy enough to find a spot and walk around the site easily.

She allowed me to explain my reasoning for the date change and asked me to allow her to go and speak with the judge/magistrate to see what the possibilities were. I have to give a huge thank you to you and your staff for making my visit so pleasurable. You didn't make me feel like I was bothering you or your colleagues at all. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!!
