"real" Locations in Songs for a Sunday

9/7/2022

1 Comment

 
We're five months out from the release of my next novel, Songs for a Sunday, which is set in Winston-Salem, NC and takes place in the 1960s and present day. Over the next few weeks, I'll share about some of the "real" places mentioned in the book. For now, here's the list,
Two locations are used in both the 1960s and present-day storylines, and they both play an integral role in the plot: 
  • University of North Carolina School of the Arts
  • Reynolds Auditorium

One location has a scene in the 1960s storyline and is mentioned in the present-day storyline:
  • Hanging Rock State Park (not actually in Winston-Salem, but a short drive away)

One location has a scene in only the present-day storyline:
  • Forsyth Medical Center (where all my kids were born!)
​
The following are used in scenes in only the 1960s storyline. All but one of these locations are no longer around.
  • Staley's Restaurant (now operating as Fratellis Italian Steakhouse)
  • Miller Park (still there)
  • Farmer's Dairy Bar/A&P Grocery
  • Thalhimer's Department Store
  • ​Flamingo Drive-in

While not used as a setting, there are references to Old Salem, Dewey's Bakery, and Tanglewood Park (in Clemmons.) It was so fun to write about places that I know, and it was even more fun to research locations from Winston-Salem's history. I look forward to sharing more about these "real" places from the book soon.
