“I love this store! It has unique gifts, fun Christmas ornaments and decorations, great socks for a cause, and lots of useful things. The best part is everything you buy is Fair Trade! I never leave empty handed, and I always eat, drink, give, or use whatever I purchased.”
“Have been a member for many years now and absolutely love this place! Tons of stuff to do inside and out, year round. Perfect for spending some of all of a day for kids of all ages to learn, play and explore. Cafe and shop are both super well done.”
“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.”

“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.”
“Donating platelets takes about two hours, Wonderful staff always makes the time fly by. They consistently strive to make you feel wanted and appreciated for volunteering. The Techs are all very personable and professional.And there’s free cookies n juice too?”
“One of the coolest things about the Scrap Exchange is that you can almost always find leftover partial portions of pretty much anything. Stains, solvents, glues...if you just need a little bit of something, the Scrap Exchange will likely have it...”

“What a wonderful environment for children to grow!! The staff are knowledgeable and have a genuine passion for working with young children. Both of my girls have flourished being "KIN Kids"!”
“Great people. Richard is the best! He went out of his way to help me understand more about my bike and helped me take it home. Can’t recommend this place enough. Very affordable and totally worth stopping by if you’re interested in riding!”
“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.”
“This is an interesting artists space that has moved around within Durham a few times. Great place to see glass blowing, pottery making, weaving, printing, metal sculpting, and more. They offer classes and also have occasional open houses like their annual holiday market. We usually make it out at least once a year and have purchased cards and pottery from the artists. They are all very friendly and love to talk about their work. Check their website for their hours and/or events.”
“Awesome trail head for many different walking adventures along the river. Turtles, birds, snakes, lizards, common. Even some really big carp make an appearance from time to time.”

“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.”

“I love working at the Forest . It has a very pleasant atmosphere. Very nice staff and, all of the residents are warm and friendly. Very beautiful community. You will love it!”
“For me, this Y is a happy place. It is so convenient and it has all I need. I love the pool and I also like to workout in the gym upstairs. Everyone that works there, like Tony, is exceptionally nice.It can get crowded after work and can be tough to find the dumbbells you need. It's never a problem to get a cardio machine and the locker rooms are never too crowded. If the classroom studio is open, there are lots more dumbbells in the lighter range in there. I do wish they would have another dumbbell rack of the commonly used lighter weights (10, 15, 20lbs) in the main area.I gave four stars versus five to be clear that it is nothing fancy because I know some people will be looking for somewhere more sleek and shiny and new. I actually like that it feels more like a community center, which is sort of the idea of the Y, than some trendy gym. I grew up going to Ys and even worked at one for two years. I do hope they fix the pool hot water heater, though! Otherwise, it is way too cold for swimming in the coming winter months ”

“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!”
“We adopted a kitten two months ago and received great customer service and assistance throughout the entire process. There was a young lady who walked us through the shelter, answered questions, and helped us make the best choice. Our Petals is doing great!”
“The best Y/gym I’ve ever been a member of. Friendly service, great amenities, clean. Rarely crowded. Wish I still lived nearby bc I’ve never been able to find one as nice as this.”

“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…”
“We love the JCC's Camp Shelanu. Our child is super picky about summer and school's out camps but the JCC staff and activities offered are far superior to other local Chapel Hill and Durham camps. My child learned to swim during summer camp here and quickly became a strong and avid swimmer thanks to the instructors. We will return over and over because my child is making friends, lifelong memories, and learning new skills in a diverse and inclusive environment.”
