Forsyth
County is west central North Carolina is the location of the
cigarette city of Winston Salem. Over the years, the
tobacco industry has made this economy run and was
established as such by the R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Company,
which is still based here. These Winston Salem
t-shirts promote both the cigarettes and the city name.
The community is trying to diversify away from the seedy
tobacco business and is now the corporate headquarters for
Krispy Kreme Doughnuts, and BB&T (Branch Banking and Trust
Company). Wachovia was also headquartered in Winston
Salem, North Carolina until First Union bought them out and
moved to Charlotte. Despite the departure, the economy
is now thriving and with the Winston-Salem t-shirts, you can
help explain that the town is so much more than smoking. |
