I should have never left!
Glenda Wolf, Durham Visitor from Bedford, TX
I was born, raised, and schooled in Durham. I have been gone for a very long time, but take every opportunity to proudly tell people where I am from! I know my beloved hometown has changed over these many years--Durham High is a cooperative school, some of the tobacco warehouses are now condominiums and shopping areas, the Durham Bulls now play in a grand stadium (I spent many a summer evening at the old field off Foster Street). When I left Durham, RTP consisted of two buildings!!! The list goes on. Durham has grown and evolved. Many nights, I think in retrospect--I should have never left!
Duke Gardens-Where Great Flowers Happen :)
Margaret Anderson, Durham Resident
The Sarah P. Duke Gardens on the Duke campus are always beautiful, always changing. Every time I visit I see new flowers, new colors, new textures. I love watching the young children taking everything in, and having a wonderful time rolling down the grassy hills or feeding the ducks. Great things happen to my spirits when I visit Duke Gardens!
Enjoying the woods
Chelsey Jean Didsbury, Durham Resident
I just found one of my favorite places to run in Durham: the New Hope Creek Bottomlands Trail. It takes me through countless different facets of the forest, each one as unique and beautiful as the next. From the splash of the creek, to the trees I can't fit my arms half-around, to the deer in the distance, I always feel calmed and refreshed after running on the trail.
"I do" in Durham
Connie Hurt, Durham Resident
In spite of a toasty August day to welcome us, Durham's Spruce Pine Lodge at Lake Michie proved to be a beautiful and tranquil site for my wedding. The lovely log cabin, gleaming hardwood floors, and rustic fireplaces provided just the right setting for saying "I do!"
