It's a cool idea... but in the span of just a few years food halls have gone from being a novel idea to being all over the place.

Yes, but they are still novel to Winston.  Moreover, it’s a great way to test more daring cuisines in the city that are underrepresented, such as Ethiopian, Laotian, Cambodian, Texas bbq, and Korean.

True that food halls are becoming common now. But yes this does give Winston-Salem a variety of different cuisine options. This is a great way to redevelop that building instead of the typical apartment lofts.

I didn't say it was a bad thing. I just hope a food hall around here would actually make leaps like that. ROAR for instance just introduced their new station... Mexican food. On top of Asian food, seafood, Italian, and American food. That said, ROAR is more an entertainment destination that includes a food hall.

So if the new food hall does bring something novel, that'd be awesome. If it ends up being BBQ, Seafood, Pizza, etc, I'll be underwhelmed.

I love downtown WS a mixture of newer buildings, restored historical buildings and restored factories.  

Today.   Love that the old old Wachovia HQ building is become apartments via PMC of Philadelphia.

Those who live in the Twin City should know your downtown is fantastic and your on street parking is a fraction of the cost of bigger NC cities.   Your saving of your historical high rises is almost unmatched in any NC city.  

The Nissen apartments are some of my favorite buildings.

Thank you for the pictures.  Winston-Salem has the most diverse architecture of any city in the Carolinas, from 18th century to the present, with a multitude of colonial examples (at Old Salem and in the county of Forsyth), vernacular, Greek Revival, turn-of the century, and Art Deco to Post Modern.

Coury Hospitality has high-rise proposal for Innovation Quarter. It will include a 90- room hotel, residential and meeting space. Looks like it will be an 11 to 12 story proposal. The plan is to be built across from Bailey Park. However it appears its not a done deal. When local media sources asked about the project, Coury took all the information about the project off their website.

Since Salem College is on the fringes of downtown, I thought the posting for this great news concerning the campus, would be appropriate.

everywhere you look in downtown WS is a renovated older building brought back to life.  Courthouse to apartments.  Office buildings to apartments and apartments/hotel .  The Nissen, the RJR aka Kimpton Cardinal, Pepper Bldg to Hotel Indigo, and even today more apartments coming to old office building on Main Street.
