F rom May 27-29, the second City-Wide Unity Revival will hit the city of Winston-Salem. Organized by Travest Hunter, the goal of the revival is to bring together the religious community of the city in hopes of uniting for the greater good of Winston-Salem. Hunter says he noticed that Christian churches of all denominations, not only in Winston-Salem but across the nation, all worship the same God but they don’t work together in any way, shape or form. To help combat this, Hu

The Forsyth Country Day boys basketball team capped off their stellar season with a state championship. The Furies finished the season with a 29-3 record and ranked as the #3 team in the state, according to MaxPreps.

The Wolfpack finished the season with a 20-9 overall record, culminated by an 80-54 loss to state champion Kinston High School. Even with this loss, Walkertown shocked a lot of people and quie

As a long-time UNC Chapel Hill mens basketball fan, it saddens me to say the administration has decided to relieve head coach Hubert Davis of his coaching duties and find a new leader for the mens basketball team after five seasons. Davis took over for legendary head coach Roy Williams in the 2022 season, after being an assistant under Williams for the previous decade. Davis’ tenure was truly a roller coaster ride but he did finish with a 125-54 overall record, which is almo

There is an adage that goes “the customer is always right.” For Sonya Colyar, owner of Simply Sonya’s Lounge and Restaurant, she pays attention to what her customers tell her.

The complex also includes multiple art
