From the Innovation Quarter in Winston-Salem

Reinvention keeps our state fresh and full of things to discover, like the new Innovation Quarter in Winston-Salem. Once a massive cigarette factory, it's now a hub of creativity and learning. Host Deborah Holt Noel visits the Innovation Quarter to share stories of destinations that will add something fresh and new to your world!

Learn where you can awaken your taste buds, restore your peace-of-mind and refresh your senses. Our friends at My Home, NC will also share the story of two chefs serving up Appalachian soul food as they participate in the revitalization of a historic neighborhood.  

As always, be sure to check operating hours before your visit and follow both state and local public health guidelines.
