Fantastic first phase victory for property owners in Greensboro.

Reached a resolution with NCDOT about inverse condemnation.

Now they can proceed to determine damages, including attorney fees.

Kirk Sanders was a partner at the law firm that challenged the NCDOT’s use of the Map Act Corridors as unconstitutional and an inverse condemnation.

At Bib’s Barbeque they say “It’s not eastern, it’s not western, it’s Bestern”
The choice is difficult at Bib’s BBQ in downtown Winston-Salem. They also have brisket, smoked sausage, and ribs.
They hickory smoke their meat. That’s important. As one BBQ scholar once said “If it’s not hickory smoked, then it’s just cooked pork”. True BBQ by North Carolina standards, is hickory smoked. Yesterday I had their collards, which were kickin’ and spicy. For more information on Bib’s BBQ, go to: http://www.bibsdowntown.com/

Here’s a timeline on the Founding of Salem (of Winston-Salem)

The Moravian’s first came to the Wachovia Tract in present day Forsyth County in 1753.

Salem, the main town, was started in 1766.

Salem is one of the first 3 planned towns in the Carolina colony.

This is a handy timeline produced by the wonderful Moravian Archives

Interested in history? Consider joining the Wachovia Historical Society http://www.wachoviahistoricalsociety.org/ as well as the Moravian Archives http://moravianarchives.org/ .

The archives offers a plethora of great history right in the heart of Old Salem.

WHS is one of the nation’s oldest historical society, established in 1895.

Save Idols’ Dam Plant

In 1898 one of Forsyth County’s greatest industrialist, Henry Elias Fries, completed the hydroelectric plant. The power plant transmitted electricity 13 ¼ miles to Salem to power textile & fertilizer mills, as well as railway and street lighting. This long distance transmission was a feat at the time.

This plant was important to industry in the South, the ability to transmit electricity over long distances, as opposed to manufacturing plants being required to be alongside rivers, kept fledgling textiles and furniture makers in the South rather than returning to the North.

Idols generated power until 1998, until there was a fire.

Now the historic plant is in danger of destruction. See the article link to the Winston-Salem Journal. It discusses recent efforts to save the structure and part of our region’s history.
