Reminder For Those Driving To The Game This Weekend


Oct 5, 2018, 8:17 AM

Remember don't plug the town of Wake Forest into your GPS, unless you plan to tour Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary before heading over to Winston-Salem.

Talk about big tobacco money. RJ Reynolds paid to build Wake Forest College a new campus if they would agree to move - so that the city of Winston-Salem would have a college like all of the other major cities in North Carolina. The Baptists took this opportunity to buy their old campus to start a seminary.

I was born and raised in Winston-Salem. Before
Wake relocated their campus W-S was the largest city
(population)in the state. City leaders had little future vision as tobacco
failed, textiles left, banking moved to Charlotte and
downtown became a dying eyesore for years. W-S failed to get the
Triad Regional Airport (Greensboro) and could not
compete for BMW (Spartanburg)or Mercedes (Alabama)
W-S does have Krispy Kreme doughnuts though..woo-hoo!

Very few high school graduates in W-S attended Wake Forest.
Wake had /has an elitist persona which attracts students from
the northeast.
They do however have a very reputable law and medical schools.
