We were back in the Country Club Road area again last night, walking the entirety of Philips Bridge Road between Country Club and Styers Ferry Roads. This is one of the least walker-friendly roads we've encountered recently, used mainly for access to the National Little League Fields (built in 1965 on land given by the Hanes Corporation) or as a cut-through to Country Club Road. Here is where Winston-Salem's rural edges are most evident - the transition from megachurches (Calvary Baptist, founded in a tent during a revival meeting in 1919, dominates the area) and shopping centers and condo developments to Lukon Lane is surprisingly abrupt. Two small, closely adjacent houses that we walked by that were well stocked with dogs and abandoned cars are not even considered to be houses on Zillow (follow this link and then move to the left on the map down Lukon Lane and try to spot them)...but this is a good place in Winston-Salem for views of the sky, and to make the point here is Jon's July 1 photo of moonrise over Country Club Road.
