“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.”
“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!”
“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.”
“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.”
“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.”
“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"!”

“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...”
“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 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.”
“Great. Staff was pleasant, $ willing to help. Ms Katrina was very supportive $ took care of my issue. Patient, kind & considerate & dedicated. ????”

“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.”
“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.”

“Amazing atmosphere and so much fun! Great classes for all ages, levels, and abilities! Mestra Tigresa is an incredible resource and instructor. Highly recommend!”
“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.”

“My husband and I celebrated our 5 year anniversary with a vow renewal party at seeds this month and it was such a wonderful experience! 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”
“I highly recommend Urban Ministries of Durham for its steadfast commitment to addressing homelessness and poverty within the community. Its staff demonstrates professionalism, compassion, and a strong dedication to delivering services and support to individuals and families in need.”
“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 ”
“Had some issues with my login and the woman on the phone who helped me was so polite and hilarious! I wish I’d got her name so I could commend her. Excellent customer service, fixed my issue up promptly!”
“New gym facility, great equipment for well-rounded body workout, plenty of treadmills and bikes. And best of all: never busy! It’s kind of a hidden gem at the American Tobacco campus”
“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.”
