Winston-Salem:
Winston-Salem has many interesting old neighborhoods and these neighborhoods are a big attraction for those visiting and moving to this city. I can remember people at SSC telling me the Old Salem Neighborhood reminded them of places in their countries. Several of these structures are from the mid-1700s and the builders learned their design/construction skills in Europe and imported things from their home countries. George Washington spent several days exploring the city's water system and enjoying the food and music. The hotel and tavern he stayed at is a museum you can tour in this neighborhood. This is a sizable neighborhood with stores, a college, restaurants, gardens, a private school, a bar, museums, a hotel, and churches, in addition to houses. You can live in this neighborhood. Writer and historian (known for Twisted Preservation and One Night Stand and the book
The Anarchist’s Guide to Historic House Museums) Frank Vagnone and his husband are likely the most famous residents of this neighborhood, on the southern end of downtown. He is the neighborhood's President. It was one of the first four national historic districts in the United States and is a National Landmark District with multiple National Landmarks, today.

The Reynolda Neighborhood may also qualify, with Graylyn Estate, SECCA, the gardens, and Reynolda Village? Graylyn has rooms and architectural antiques from other countries, including a room France took the original home's owner to court over, to prevent it from leaving their country.
