Hmm. Do you mind if I ask why you chose Winston Salem? I left there a year and change ago after waiting for my wife to finish college, and haven't looked back.
Similar situation to yours. One of our wives is finishing a residency program in Winston Salem. Where are you located now? I am actually moving out there in a few weeks to join the company. It would be great to get your insights on Winston Salem, and any contacts of people that are good devs in NC. Feel free to reach out on twitter @esalazarrivas
I'm in Denver right now, and it would take an enormous catastrophe for me to move back to NC.
I have no Twitter account, but my e-mail is in my profile if you'd like to get in touch and discuss things further. I went to college there and lived there for a couple additional years, so I can give you my thoughts.
