“Bull City Fair Trade is my favorite store in Durham. I don't particularly like browsing through stores just for the sake of it, but I love doing it here. There's so many unique, beautiful and interesting things on sale from all over the world, and staff are always very welcoming and friendly. Some items in the store are on the expensive side, but that makes sense given that they take such great care to sell fair-trade, sustainable products, and that will cost a bit more money. I recommend signing up for their points system - it really pays off fast in the form of 10% or 20% discounts on your next purchase. Wish there were more such stores in the area!”

“If you have another membership from another approved zoo, you get a discount on admission! This museum, indoors and outdoors, was perfect for my 3 kids that are 5 and under. There’s even an indoor play area for babies. If I lived here, I’d definitely have a membership and come all the time. 👍”

“This community resource is invaluable. The facility has excellent fitness spaces but the real value is in the programs for everyone--young and old. The Gindes Center has an excellent Adult Daycare Program, and the Ignite business networking events are great for small area businesses. There's something for everyone.”

“Kramden institute has stepped up their game. This new facility is larger, offers even more programs than before. I would recommend this training program for anyone who owns a computer. I'm 78 years old, and I relearned more in one training session than I had forgotten over thirty years. They even teach kids how to code. If, like me, you have those moments when you want to throw your laptop in the trash; give Kramden Institute a call. I promise you won't regret it.”

“Piedmont Wildlife Center is an amazing organization with a wildlife staff who prioritizes animal welfare and safety above all. If you want to learn about NC wildlife, including raptors and turtles and more, and connect with nature in a meaningful way, you should visit Piedmont!”

“Good time. Weird parking. Took a welding 101 course. Got an excellent into to welding and plasma cutting. Classes cost a bit, but it is a great way to try out a bigger hobby than buying equipment you may or may not like. They also do glass blowing.”

“I went to the co-op for the first time and had a great experience. Rick is extremely knowledgeable and kindly walked me through the whole process. I had an extremely damaged bike that he was able to bring back into full functionality! I would definitely recommend working with Rick if you have the opportunity.”

“This part of the eno is so beautiful and really accessible. Turtle hole is only a twenty minute hike. I would be aware that parking is very limited and pulling out onto guess is a little annoying.”

“A wonderful place with wonderful people. It’s even better than you think it will be. Everything and everyone is so nice. The atmosphere is calming and pretty. Nice rooms to sleep in. You get meals and fun stuff to do here if you want to join. It’s been such a big help being so close to the hospital.”

“You can always find something at the scrap exchange. I bought some quilting books from the 90’s and Crochet/knitting books with nice patterns. I even saw a Royal Typewritter from the 1960’s which I learned how to type on back in the day, good price I thought. You never know what you’ll find!”

“Ms. Rosa's support has been invaluable in our search for a new home. I took the first time homebuyers course and was surprised at how thorough the content was. We eventually made an offer on a home, and had it not been for what I learned here, my anxiety would have gone through the roof (I'm an international transplant used to a more straightforward process). If your thinking about support when searching for a home, look no further. Their services are free of charge.”

“Very friendly and helpful. Historic building. A resource for the community.Bricks used to build a Church were fired by brickmaker Richard Burton, Fitzgerald, and Robert G Fitzgerald. They have about 150 years of where, but the clay used is excellent and the bricks are well-made and you can see it the care and the competence in the state of the brick today.Historically important area of Durham with a vibrant future ahead. On Monday nights or maybe Wednesday evenings (I can’t remember exactly) they have African dance class for the community.”

“I was matched with Heather. She was amazing! I found work clothes that are professional but comfortable and my style. Glad they picked her for me. She had a wonderful personality.
Had an appointment at 12 p.m. and was done around 1:30 p.m. I was able to get 3 pairs of pants and 5 shirts, a tote bag, and 1 pair of shoes.”

“Beautiful corner of campus. These are the type of repurposed century structures that remind you you’re in North Carolina, a foundational state of our union. Very timely to have this exhibit about the East Indian resistance movement. We resisted the same colonial power and now were neighbors here in the greater Research Triangle Park. Small world after all.”

“This is my favorite place to give blood! I don't do as well at the drives. It's very clean in there. Everyone is very nice and caring. You get snacks and juice after you give. Sometimes they give little gifts too. They contact you a lot when you're eligible to give again because they hope you give again as soon as possible.”

Camryn helped us plan how to best use the space, gave amazing recommendations for vendors, and ensured the space was ceremony and party ready for us. We loved celebrating in this beautiful space supporting the community and would 100% recommend this venue to all our family and friends!”

“Incredibly beautiful network of trails winding into the forest; well maintained, peaceful preserves open to all; pristine nature within a few miles of Durham, Chapel Hill, and Hillsborough; a gift to the community; a gift to the earth. You’re free to roam unhindered. Thank you for maintaining this resource with so much love and care!”

“Everyone is so friendly and helpful. Arriving via Uber is possible but I opted to get picked up just out of the security area to reduce the time they have to wait. The walking path around the lake is also very nice to enjoy the ducks, turtles and geese”

“Robert Medred wrote a review about a book, of which he didn’t even give the full title of, making it seems as if the book was misleading while also being very rude (calling people mentally challenged online where they can search up your name and find out where you work isn’t very bright).

“Immeasurable Weather” isn’t simply “Immeasurable Weather”, but is, in fact, “ Immeasurable Weather: Meteorological Data and Settler Colonialism from 1820 to Hurricane Sandy.”

Keywords being “settler colonialism” which doesn’t make this a simple “meteorology” book; subtitles are very important. One google search, bro. And hell, it says it on the cover of the damn book. From the get-go, you as a reader are told this is not just about weather…”

“Preservation Durham did their civil rights walking tour of downtown Durham for a group from my work. Dave was a wonderful tour guide and all of us - many folks well-versed in civil rights and local history - learned something new! It was also HOT and he did a great job of keeping us to shady spots. Would highly recommend this tour!”
