Mon brings Labor Day and the unofficial first day of fall! The autumn equinox is just over two weeks away. We found signs of the changing season in this biweekly coffee walk (which mostly revisits a coffee walk from this time two years ago).
We're back in our home neighborhood in Winston-Salem. We walked around Innovation Quarter, took a walk along the Long Branch Trail, and finished up back at the stacks near DeBeen WS.
Our drink of choice was an iced butterscotch (we see you, The Vampire Lestat fans) latte with whole milk. Delicious!

See the bonus content from our upstairs neighbors at Link Apartments Innovation Quarter. What a view of the IQ and Downtown Winston-Salem from their rooftop terrace! Looks so cozy too! Normally exclusive to Link IQ tenants, we're delighted to share it with you.
Thanks as always, Link IQ! Remember that Link IQ (also Plant 64) residents receive a 10% discount at DeBeen WS!

Along the Long Branch Trail, we looked for signs of early fall color along with late summer flowers. We saw colorful murals, views of the Downtown Winston-Salem skyline, and caught an amazing solar flare, beaming down to the iconic Plant 64 water tower. We always enjoy the view from the bridge over Fifth Street, looking toward DeBeen and Link IQ.
Walking, jogging, strolling, cycling along the Long Branch Trail and through Bailey Park is easy for most people. There are benches to relax. Accessibility accomodations, scooters, bathrooms, water fountains, and doggy bags are among the amenities.
Come see us at DeBeen, catty-corner from the park on Fifth! We're open on Sept 7, Labor Day, until 8 pm!
Don't click away before seeing the Link IQ sky candy at the end. View from the top!
