March 20 was a day that Simon Burgess will remember: It was the first night since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic here that all the rooms in the Hotel Indigo downtown were booked.
âThe restaurant has been doing really well,â he added. âIt is still tough, but we can see the light at the end of the tunnel.â
Burgess is managing director of Mayfair Street Partners, which renovated the old Pepper Building as the Hotel Indigo in 2018 and had big hotel plans for nearby Merschel Park. The restaurant in the hotel is the Sir Winston.
Now, Burgess is feeling optimistic about development in downtown Winston-Salem, although heâll be building apartments instead of hotel rooms to overlook Merschel Park at the south end of Trade Street downtown.

New Zealand’s confusing, outdated and inconsistent
Easter trading rules should be reviewed, National’s
Workplace Relations spokesperson Scott Simpson
says.
“The rules are out of step with the world we
live in. It makes no sense that some businesses can trade
but others can’t depending on what they sell and where
they sell it.”
Online businesses can trade without
restriction over Easter but many traditional bricks and
mortar retailers cannot. The rules governing which retailers
can and can’t open vary from district to district, and are
also different on Good Friday and Easter Monday.

The purchases were part of 62 wire payments the health department made last year for protective equipment that totaled almost $37 million, according to a routine statewide audit.

The latest U-turn by Pakistan’s ‘selected’ Prime Minister Imran Khan on his country’s dealing with India is quite absurd even by the absurdities and U-turns that are emblematic of the feckless governance of the ‘hybrid’ regime. A day after the Economic Coordination Committee (ECC) of the Cabinet announced that Pakistan would buy sugar and cotton from India, the cabinet made a U-turn and deferred the decision of the ECC. Subsequently, a meeting of a special cabinet subcommittee to discuss relations with India declared that there will be no trade with India until India reversed the constitutional reforms in the erstwhile state of Jammu and Kashmir.
