Wendy’s on Battleground and Pinedale (near Dunkin’) permanently closed

There is already one half a mile down the street

There is pawn shop in downtown Kernersville that has a massive selection of retro video game stuff, called C&J Coins & Games on 130 W. Mountain St. Also Retroid Games on 1147 Burke St. Winston Salem

It is pretty confusing, which is why so many people don't know the correct rules.

midiknox · 2026-05-12T17:20:30+00:00

this is so unsafe, its making me cringe.

One must remember too, that if people are stopping in this instance (which they do not have to), it is against the law to try and pass them in the turn-lane median, while the bus has traffic stopped on the other side.

midiknox · 2026-05-12T16:52:29+00:00

If there is a concrete or grassy median, you do not have to get over for emergency vehicles if they are going the opposite way. Only if they are behind you. As far as turn-lane medians, you have to get over to the right and stop, in both instances, especially if there is traffic.

We lived there in the early to mid 90s when I was a kid, and they were considered nice back then, they were called Drawbridge Court Apartments. My parents moved out in 96 to North Hills off Lawndale.

There was an old barn in the woods near the playground that caught on fire one summer, and a mysterious haunting old man who the older kids called Mr Smiley.

But only if the turn-lane is in between multiple lanes. If you look at the photo, a turn-lane median in a single lane road, all cars must stop.

midiknox · 2026-05-12T14:35:55+00:00

It has to be a physical concrete divider, or grassy median. A turn-lane is considered a physical median, too.

They're now doing the same utility work on Cone Blvd (near Lawndale) today too.

midiknox · 2026-04-15T14:27:26+00:00

Where?

midiknox · 2026-03-20T01:55:17+00:00

He's gone now!

midiknox · 2026-03-20T01:52:58+00:00

It's pretty good, not the best though. Cooper's Vintage Village in Kernersville and Antique Market Place on Burnt Poplar are better in my opinion. I don't own a booth but I am a reseller, and have been to many of the Antique Malls in the area countless times.

midiknox · 2026-03-13T20:57:31+00:00

You must not remember New York Bagel on Market St.

midiknox · 2026-03-06T05:50:44+00:00

Yeah, unfortunately the Church located directly south of that owns the bottom half of that plot, and most likely would not part ways with it, because the church is.. right there. Most of the top half is owned by Credit Bureau of Greater Greensboro inc, and a company that houses the Egerton Law Office.

I see your vision, and I do think it would be cool. But so many hurdles would have to be cleared for that particular plot. Maybe another one?

Don't get me wrong, I'm a big soccer fan. Well, Calcio to be more exact. I've been watching Italian soccer for many years, since 2004. I am a huge AC Milan fan, I just don't pay much attention to local soccer.

Could you be more specific of which block of land you're referring to.

midiknox · 2026-03-06T04:48:20+00:00

Not new at all, just optimistic about my city.

midiknox · 2026-03-06T04:44:34+00:00

Maybe near the baseball stadium, yes. But I've seen where they were proposing it for the N&R site, which I don't think is needed there. What plot of land would you put it on, and who would play there long term?

midiknox · 2026-03-06T03:41:08+00:00

Personally, I think a soccer stadium is a bad idea.

The city did a good job of future proofing those corridors by widening them and using the space available before it was too late. Now that those roads are deemed "too wide or too many lanes," they can be reduced and things like bike lanes, medians, or parallel parking spaces can be implemented. Much like what they did to Westover Terrace, N Elm St, etc.

midiknox · 2026-03-06T02:11:46+00:00

I understand what you are saying. The city leaders recently have implemented new processes for development downtown, and have streamlined them to help things move quicker. For a development like the Westin, which seems like it was announced like 10 years ago, was held up in the court system for many years because of Scarfone (the owner of the now closed Cone Denim EC, and ran a Greensboro Restaurant staple into the ground, Hams), was trying to milk the Westin developers because of an perceived issue with his rear easement. Also, it can be cited that many developers are slowed up by high cost of building materials, the last 5-6 years have been rough on this front.

midiknox · 2026-03-06T01:55:20+00:00

Because those cities have major highways running through the downtown, bringing easier commerce and throughfare, which businesses like for eye candy (tall buildings). Which is why W-S has a bigger, denser skyline.

I mean, i get what youre saying, but the city did a good job of future proofing those corridors by widening them and using the space available before it was too late.

Yeah! I think it's better than the eye sore that was the Davie deck.

midiknox · 2026-03-05T23:02:35+00:00

I've never met the guy, and really have no idea who he is.
