Many locals refer to the city as Winston in informal speech. Another nickname, the Dash, comes from the dash in the city's name (although technically it is a hyphen); this nickname is used by the local minor league baseball team, the Winston-Salem Dash.

HLS in the World | In the Trenches of Criminal Justice Reform
At the core of criminal justice reform are stories—the narratives of how we achieve justice, and how actors throughout the system dispute and re-shape what that means. In these Moth-style talks, we hear from practitioners with deep experience operating within, and attempting to transform, the criminal justice system. The session, co-hosted by Brook Hopkins ‘07, executive director of the Criminal Justice Policy Program at HLS, HLS Professor Carol Steiker ‘86, and HLS Professor of Practice Alex Whiting, featured panelists Alec Karakatsanis ‘08, founder of the Civil Rights Corps, and Jeffery Robinson ‘81, deputy legal director, Trone Center for Jstice and Equality.
Their talk was part of the HLS in the World bicentennial summit which took place at Harvard Law School on Friday, October 27, 2017. Read more:

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

From a town built on the rail, to the construction of the City's prized parks and lakes, the documentary, titled The Centennial Mural: A History of Burlington's First 100 Years, highlights the most significant milestones of the City's first century.
