ahhh yeah things have changed a shitton here in the last 12 years. it was certainly different then, but I still don't think it was THAT bad. I didn't live here then, so I can't say from experience

Glad to hear it. I'm passing through this June for a vaca.

My wife wanted to stop at Sweet Potatoes (i think that was the restaurant)

Don't act dumb, use common sense, trust your gut. Winston has some sketchy areas, but they're not hard to avoid. Trade St. isn't a bad location and there are some really cool stores on that stretch.

I recommend visiting Reynolda House/Gardens and Old Salem during your visit here in June. :) Both are easily walkable in a couple hours - Old Salem not being far from Sweet Potatoes.
