Apart from the motorists streaming past on their way to somewhere else, signs of life are sparse in the 2200 block of North Patterson Street.
Itâs notable because the city of Winston-Salem has funneled more than $350,000 since 2018 into this one short block in an attempt to goose economic recovery, revitalization and repurpose of a squat series of buildings, some more than 75 years old
Seven separate properties, some whole buildings and others partitioned, sit on a small triangle of land between Patterson and Glenn Avenue.
All feature painted brick and new windows. Theyâre fronted by wide, unspoiled, unsullied concrete sidewalks and have plenty of brand new (and free) on-street, parallel parking spots â a rare perk these days.
