Lost passports in Winston-Salem.

I realized at 9:15 this morning that my passports were missing. I’d had them in a white leather tote outside the Benton Convention Center in downtown Winston-Salem while I checked in for a conference. I remember half-heartedly tugging at my sleeve, looking away for a moment, and then they were gone. This travel date is looming, and the whole thing is panicky but hopeful—if someone found them, I’d be grateful beyond words.

FOUND synthesizers near Benton Convention Center, Winston-Salem

On a late afternoon walk around 4:30 PM, I found two synthesizer cases left near the main doors of the Benton Convention Center in downtown Winston-Salem. The gear looks actively used: scuffed metal, a sticker on one case, and a tangle of patch cables peeking out from a zipper pouch. I carried them to the Lost and Found desk at the venue and waited there to see if the owner would appear. It’s always hard to lose something that represents a lot of time and practice, so I wanted to post here in case the rightful owner checks in. If this sounds like yours, please reply to this listing through the site.

Lost medication near Wake Forest Baptist, Winston-Salem

Yesterday at 8:45 a.m., I realized my daily medication was missing from my purse as I stood outside the main entrance of Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center on Patterson Avenue. A gust must have knocked the bottle from my coat pocket, and I searched the sidewalk and the taxi stand area, but it didn't turn up. The bottle is small, the label worn, and I need it to manage my mornings. I'm anxious and a bit frightened about missing doses, especially with a busy week ahead. If you happened to see a small bottle near the hospital entrance, I'd be grateful for its return.

Found: Photographs near Central Library, Winston-Salem

found: This morning around 11:40 AM, I found a small leather photo album and a stack of loose photographs tucked under a bench near the Central Library on West 5th Street in Winston-Salem. The images range from the 1950s to more recent snapshots: wedding portraits, family picnics, and a few candid smiles. Some backs are handwritten with names, which makes them feel deeply personal. I didn't want to keep them, so I've kept them safe and brought them to the library staff for safekeeping and posting here. If you recognize any face or place, this listing is a way to reconnect you with your memories.

Found a box of holiday decorations near Benton Convention Center.

I was locking up my bike and heading home around 6:40 p.m. on Monday when I spotted a sturdy box of holiday decorations tucked beside the entrance to Winston-Salem's Benton Convention Center on North Trade Street. The tissue paper squeaked when a breeze blew, and the pine scent from the wrapping made me smile. I checked around and realized these weren't mine—they looked like a family’s festive setup, complete with garlands and a string of warm lights. I didn't see anyone nearby, so I left them on the cafe steps with a note describing where I found them, hoping the owner would recognize them when they return to downtown. It felt like a little Christmas miracle in the middle of my walk.

Lost terrariums near Reynolda Gardens, Winston-Salem

Yesterday at 3:15 p.m., I left two glass terrariums on a bench near the Reynolda Gardens gate while I paused to photograph a row of succulents. When I circled back along the winding path behind Reynolda House, they were gone. One terrarium holds a tiny fern and moss; the other contains a wee dragon figurine perched among pebbles. These were gifts from a friend, and losing them hurts, especially since they reminded me of our weekend wanderings in Winston-Salem and the little plants we cared for together.
