I liked Twin City, because there's an actual history behind it. But Arts and Innovation is also good too. We've always had a strong presence of art in the city, and the UNC School of the arts is here. Innovation because Wake Forest University is pulling in a lot of scientific development here now. Its good because the tobacco jobs will be all but gone soon and we don't want to be a ghost town.
Totally makes sense to recreate something to draw people in. And imo Twin City could be confused with the MN Twin Cities.

Hooray for engineering, still just a touch too complex for a machine to do completely.
That an engineers make the machines to do the work...so they don't like making machines that do THEIR job (well not before they do a lot of other jobs first).

Just got back from McDonalds. The one I went to had 6 ordering kiosks and 3 employees hovering over them "just in case you need help"
Anyone else see the irony that the same people who decry fast food workers for demanding a livable wage (and as such initially cheered on the advent of the kiosks) are the ones who would have the most trouble with said kiosks?

Sorry if that veered a little too much towards politics, but I can't help but see the irony and laugh.

On the kinda good news front, when I was putting away my cholesterol results into my medical folder I found my 2016 results. Back then I was 227 vs 211 this time. I'd say that's a plus considering the shitty way I eat. :)

Twin Cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul vs The Twin City of Winston-Salem

We out-date you actually, Salem was founded in 1766, and Winston in 1849 :bandit:

I see the irony when I am in line at a store and an employee comes over to convince me to use a kiosk. Really...I'm in line so you have a job and you seem upset I won't use a kiosk...I mean I have had an employee or too seem genuinely aggravated they can't get me to do it. :facepalm:

Like when Walmart busted on the scene and ended the "buy american" era...more to it of course, but they helped.

I can’t argue with that! But it would still confuse the masses. :)
well I'll further confuse you, because we also form the western part of the Piedmont Triad consisting of Winston-Salem, Greensboro and High Point. Also don't confuse us with the "Triangle" made up of Raleigh, Durham and Chapel Hill an hour east.
