There's been a lot of talk about Trosa Thrift store around town lately. I've seen it all over…read moresocial media so a friend and I decided to check it out on a Friday afternoon. Trosa is located on Peters Creek Hwy in the Food Lion strip center at the Clemmonsville exit. It's easy to get to and there's plenty of parking which I love. Right inside the door is their whole furniture section, they have tons of tables, chairs, dressers , etc. they even have a whole section of office specific furniture. The prices are very reasonable. This would be a furniture flippers paradise. Towards the back they have shelves of everything from pillows to whole sets of dishes, sports equipment and the most medical mobility equipment I've ever seen anywhere. I'd say, if you are in need of a walker, a bath seat or portable toilet for someone look here because they probably have it at a fraction of the cost it would be to purchase new or rent. The clothing is grouped all together but they aren't keeping it organized as well as it needs to be. All different sizes were mixed in together and I quickly got frustrated and gave up. Both of us had found an item in the kitchen area we wanted so we headed to check out. The workers were very friendly as well. I'll definitely be checking out Trosa regularly in the future. Trosa supports substance abuse treatment. If you want to donate to them, they offer pick up for larger items or you can bring your items to their donation drop off around the back of the store. Just follow the signs.

Playground review: it's a super nice space and is designed for ages 2-12. There's a ton of different equipment for all abilities. However frustrating when older/larger kids are wreaking havoc and abusing the equipment while moms are talking with their backs turned away from the playground. Don't be those moms.

There are two rooms with exhibits and plenty of pictures. I really enjoyed the video they had playing from the 40's about the city. The woman working there was friendly and helpful.

If you're looking for a real movie experience, not the loud, sticky-floor, corporate version,…read moreAperture is it. My wife and I have been coming to Aperture several times over the years, and every single visit has been great. We're actually here tonight to see Wuthering Heights, a movie she had to drag me to but if history tells me anything, I'll end up loving the experience anyway. That's what this place does. It makes you glad you came. The staff is always genuinely friendly, not the forced, robotic kind. The snack selection is excellent, and the beer options are consistently solid. It feels curated, thoughtful, and intentional--just like the films they choose to show. Anytime my wife suggests we go see a movie, I immediately say, "Let's go to Aperture," instead of one of the big box theaters. It's just a better vibe. You're in the heart of downtown Winston-Salem, surrounded by great food spots, so it's easy to make a full night out of it. If you appreciate independent film, a relaxed atmosphere, and a theater that actually feels like part of the community, Aperture is the move. We'll keep coming back.

My husband and I LOVE this theater! We came across it while trying to find a showtime for Clown In…read moreA Cornfield. a/perture was the ONLY theater in NC showing it at the time. We loved having the small theater to ourselves! The snacks/drinks are a little pricey, but that's what you get with most movie theaters. This one offers some of the best snacks though! Some stuff you don't see usually. They also serve beer/wine along with sodas, and they allow you to bring in coffee from the shop they share space with. We just visited again to see Superman and we're in a bigger theater (it seated 82). Again, an awesome experience. If you haven't checked it out, you should! They don't play every movie that comes out, but it's worth the trip if they're playing something you wanna see.

This particular location has so many items to choose from. If you're unfamiliar with Habitat Restores, they often have a combination of gently used donated items as well as new items from retailers like Safavieh. It seems like this location received new shipments of new items about once a week, so I'd recommend stopping in every couple of days if you are looking for a specific item. Prices are very reasonable and the staff here is so great! Be sure to check them out if you have any furniture needs, or again, if you just like to pretend you have furniture needs.

Ronald McDonald House is mostly known for his own for their homes outside of hospitals for family…read moreof pediatrics patients who live outside the county have a stress free place to eat, relax, shower & sleep at no cost. RMH provides this stress free environment not just at the house but also in the hospitality rooms at the hospitals. You receive the same top notch service, with offerings of water, sodas, juice, coffee, sandwiches and snacks. The value is immeasurable because of the peace and comfort you get during a stressful time of your life. Not having to worry about cost is a huge relief for anyone. They also have rolling carts and you can request snacks and drinks from there as well. All their volunteers and employees are caring and polite. You hope you never have to worry e to use their services but it's nice to know they are there.

Front staff can be very rude as if you're taking up their time…read more My partner and I walked in one afternoon (20 minutes before closing to be exact) and the woman at the counter said, "If you want something you'll need to make it quick because we're closing. So we looked at the woman, then at each other and simultaneously walked out the door. I understand the concept of wanting to leave on time, but that's never the way to treat a customer. I know personally if I feel rushed, I'm not going to buy anything. Customer service is an important part of any business and if that fails, everything else will too. Hopefully they'll work on improving theirs, but either way I won't be returning.

I like the addition of the frequent buyer club and looking forward to those benefits.
