I made a return trip to the World's Largest Chest of Drawers in High Point, NC. It was getting some…read morework done during my stop, so it had a fence around it. The best place to park is likely at the lot across the street. The Chest of Drawers is on a one-way street, so you might need to plan which lane to get in if traffic is heavy. High Point is considered the "furniture capital of the world." So the 38 feet high road side attraction is fitting. The piece was originally built in 1926 to welcome people to the area and promote the furniture. The design was different, and the bureau was smaller and had a mirror. It was painted white with floral accents. It wasn't a functioning piece of furniture as the drawers didn't open. Then in 1996, Sid Lenger, a High Point craftsman and designer, transformed the piece. He wanted a proper chest of drawers, so he designed and built one with hefty brass handles. This version also doesn't open, but is meant to look like a more realistic piece of high-end furniture. He also added the two pairs of six-foot-tall socks to acknowledge the hosiery industry. I hope whatever work is being done to the chest of drawers preserves the cherry wood finish's color as intended.

If you visit, please make sure to not enter the property / knock on the front door / disturb the family who lives there in any way. Respectful, okay? Okay, cool. That all being said -- this place is a historical landmark for Winston Salem and humanity as a whole. It was the home of writer/actress/director/activist Dr. Maya Angelou from 1994 until her death in 2014, when she passed away inside this home. Dr. Angelou once wrote a lovely little essay called "In the Valley of Humility" (published in the collection "Letter to My Daughter") about how and why she decided to make Winston-Salem her home. She decided on Winston-Salem in part because of the warmth and kindness she felt from the community at Wake Forest University, and decided to accept the position of lifetime Reynolds Professorship of American Studies there in 1981. This came after a divorce when she was looking for a "soft place to land". Anyone who has spent time in the Wake Forest part of Winston-Salem can certainly understand the appeal for her in that moment. Whenever I feel the need for a spiritual moment or reset, I like to quietly drive by her former home on Bartram. I take in the trees, how green and peaceful everything is. I pull out of the neighborhood and drive the few minutes down to the Wake Forest campus -- the same drive that Dr. Angelou likely made when she was heading over to speak or teach. It's really easy to understand why she picked Winston-Salem as her haven. Whenever I have visitors in from out of town, this is one of the first places I recommend that they visit. She may not live there anymore, and the house may now be painted deep blue instead of sunshine yellow, but driving by this house and down these streets -- especially after reading "In the Valley of Humility" -- allows so much in-depth insight into the day-to-day existence of one of the most cherished Southern writers of our time.

The field of honor memorial is a beautiful and peaceful place to come and pay respects to those who served in the military as well as to learn and educate about some aspects of this country's history. My daughter especially enjoyed the fountain and the quotes from great presidents of the past, and she also learned a bit about 9/11 and the twin towers at the World Trade Center. My wife and I, having grown up on Long Island, NY, remember that day very vividly, and we had a moment of realization together to understand that our daughter never knew about those towers or the events surrounding that day. I recommend taking the kids sometime to Triad Park and making a stop there (or coming on your own, of course). There is also a playground within walking distance, so the kids were able to get a little extra enjoyment on top of their educational moment lol!

Her presence is such a joy and you can tell she really loves children. Throughout the music and movement portion, along with story time, your child will be introduced to basic concepts such as ABC's, colors and numbers, arts and crafts, dancing, songs, foreign language and more. The consistency and repetition helps the child remember the songs so they can participate more easily. It's very hands on and thoughtfully planned. We have noticed a big growth in attendance over the last few months so it can be a bit overwhelming when the class has reached full capacity. I recommend getting there early, if you can, to ensure you have a spot. It's that popular!! I really wish Forsyth county library would model their story time after this, I feel like this should be the standard and as a result more children would be thriving. Having the exposure to a bilingual teacher who teaches Spanish in a fun way has been so appreciated. The children section of the library itself is separated and offers toys for the children to play with. It's organized in a way that makes it easy to find books and the staff is super friendly and accommodating. The only thing different in this county vs. Forsyth, is if you wanted something printed you will need to be prepared to pay, whereas in Forsyth county, your first 10 pages are free. Their sensory garden, which was opened within the last year, really fell short in my opinion as to what I was expecting. Sometimes it seems like people who design these things have no experience with what we are truly in need of or what's developmentally appropriate or helpful for engagement of the senses. It's a big flop, we visited it one time and that was enough. Doesn't help that there is no shade and it's next to a loud busy road. Not much or a garden experience either. Just hot pieces of metal and plastic to look at that feels more artistic than sensory. You'll see what I mean if you visit. Overall the classes are where it's at, not just for children but adults too! So come here for that if you want to participate in free offerings and meet like minded people in your community!
