These photos were taken at the Sarah P. Duke Memorial Garden. A great place to go for a walk or a picnic.

Saturday Mornings

Some Saturday mornings, I still have to get up anyway to take the girls to their various activities. Empty parking lots are the norm at the crack of dawn.

Middle school parking lot, waiting for the bus.

The usually crowded Costco on a Saturday morning. By the 9 a.m. opening, this parking lot will be packed.

American Tobacco Factory

April 2, 2007 | Filed Under Durham, downtown, neighborhoood | 4 Comments 

Durham, NC is a town founded on the tobacco industry. However, with the decline of the tobacco industry many of the plants have lain empty and abandoned for years. During the last decade though, a revitalization of the downtown area has been in progress and this American Tobacco project is one of those. These group of buildings formerly home to the Bull Durham Tobacco Factory have been converted to business, entertainment, and living spaces and is now called the American Tobacco Historic District.
