Projects & Construction:
Thank you to the photographers and local businesses who make this thread possible. Without you, these weekly updates won't happen.
And we lead this week with the biggest story. I was too busy to make a mid-week post and I apologize for that.
National Sports Media Association Headquarters & Hall of Fame:
WBTV is reporting: The National Sports Media Association will move their headquarters to Winston-Salem. Since the 1950s, the National Sports Media Association has honored the best in national sports media and the best in sports media from each state. The headquarters move will be completed next month and Winston-Salem will host their national awards ceremony June 25-26, which will bring the nation's best sports reporters and several sports stars to Winston-Salem. Mayor Allen Joines said "We are so honored that this prestigious organization has chosen Winston-Salem for its new corporate headquarters and home to the annual Hall of Fame and Awards gala weekend." The National Sports Media Hall of Fame is also moving to Winston-Salem. They have not disclosed the building they selected. This sounds like something that would move to downtown?

Corpening Plaza Renovation:
Did they turn the water back on in the water garden? Maybe for testing? I see water in the reflecting pond? I also see the precast waterfall panels on the ground?
