WHERE CAN YOU BE FOUND ON THE WEEKEND?
ASK, AND YOU SHALL RECEIVE
I
think Tammi Brooks, president of the Durham Regional Association of Realtors, said it best when asked for her advice for newcomers looking to get acclimated with the area. “Say hello to people,” she said. “Ask them questions. Durhamites love to talk about their city.” It’s true. It’s one of the things we can’t stop talking about. We sing the Bull City’s praises to friends and family who aren’t lucky enough to live here – secretly hoping for a visit, or better yet, a move! – and gush about our plans to try this new restaurant or go to that event. I’ve probably annoyed an acquaintance or two by treating their newfound discovery about Durham as old news; this job tends to keep me up to date on all the latest happenings, a benefit that I greatly enjoy. But the thing that really thrills me is what I don’t yet know about this city – the corners I’ve yet to explore. There is always plenty more to learn, and all you have to do is ask. Here are a few of our personal suggestions for weekend entertainment options, just to get you going. The contents of the rest of this publication should help start you on your own journey discovering Durham.

Mike Lee Dreams of Sushi Since opening in 2016, M Sushi has become a destination for fans of traditional, simple sushi
hat do Durhamites love about M Sushi? Chef and owner Mike Lee says it’s the restaurant’s dedication to the basics. “Fundamental things like we try to use the best rice available, best vinegar. That’s the foundation of a sushi restaurant.” And striving for the best doesn’t end with the rice. Sea urchin (uni) is shipped live from Santa Barbara, and the colorfully named waloo white tuna and Tasmanian sea trout come from Hawaii, direct shipment. Some ingredients are even overnighted from Japan. “We are continuously trying to see if there is a better product out there,” Mike says. After working his way across the country, gaining restaurant experience, Mike settled in North Carolina close to nine years ago and opened the sushi restaurant Sono in Raleigh. His passion soon drove him to develop a more conceptdriven seafood focus. “We wanted to create a restaurant where we can dedicate a few ingredients and just work with a limited menu, where we really focus on different applications of sushi,” Mike says. “We didn’t think it was feasible to try to change Sono at the time.” So, taking a chance on the buzz around Durham’s food scene, Mike landed a location off East Chapel Hill Street. Rather than having a long list of 20-plus different rolls, M Sushi has six, maybe seven at a time, and focuses on chef ’s tastings. “It has been really an amazing experience,” he says. “The guests, the locals, everyone has been really supportive. It’s been incredible how much people are open-minded, how
W
they accept and listen to us, understanding what we’re trying to do. It makes us want to strive to be better.” In this pursuit, Mike has taken to exploring different proteins. In October 2016, he opened M Kokko, a wildly popular chicken-focused restaurant, next door. A pork and beef restaurant is planned for spring 2018 and a veganthemed one will follow soon after. “Our end goal is to gain experience and knowledge in bringing those restaurants [to life], and then use our knowledge to create a very unique concept that can be franchisable,” he says, noting that he hopes to ultimately add a nonprofit component to the restaurants, too. “It just takes a small spark,” Mike says, of the possibilities to do good in the community. But, regardless of what he adds on, his seafood has us hooked. – Laura Zolman Kirk

Durham explodes with year-round movement thanks to American Dance Festival
S
ix years ago, champions and staffers of the American Dance Festival (ADF) saw a long-held dream fulfilled. For the first time, ADF claimed permanent dance studio space. “Now, in people’s minds, we’re seen as year-round, not just a seasonal festival,” says Executive Director Jodee Nimerichter. The 5,000-square-foot Samuel H. Scripps Studios occupies the second floor at 721 Broad St., which has allowed ADF to expand its offerings to include year-round classes and bring in choreographers and dancers off-season to create works for summer premieres. The building is near Jodee’s ADF office on Duke University’s East Campus, and features two large
14 DURHAM MAGAZINE VISITORS & RELOCATION GUIDE 2018
studios marked by high ceilings and no columns, perfect for dance. In 2016, 763 people came to the programs at ADF’s studios, 273 of which were kids. “[I’m] thrilled that we can provide accessible and engaging community workshops for adults who have had no previous dance experience, provide artists’ residencies [and] rehearsal space for the local dance community,” Jodee says.
Settling in Durham
Jodee worked for ADF in New York City before her move to Durham in the fall of 2008, and she notes how the world and Durham have changed in the last four decades since ADF came here. The world became more connected, and Durham grew significantly.
THE BEST OF DURHAM
According to Jodee, she became involved in The Rotary Club of Durham and met local developer Arthur Rogers as his building – the same one on Broad Street – was under development. The two worked together to bring ADF into the mix. The ADF studio space now includes an office, lobby, conference room, storage space and bathrooms with showers. BLOK Architecture’s Sasha Berghausen designed the building and ADF’s architect, Oswald Nagler, from Columbia, S.C., designed the second-floor space. “Moving here was a wonderful way for ADF to build even deeper and stronger roots,” Jodee says. “I can’t begin to say how important it has been for me and the institution.” Jodee began her work at ADF as an intern in 1991 and became associate director when Stephanie Reinhart, ADF executive co-director and wife of fellow executive co-director Charles L. Reinhart, died of leukemia. Upon Charles’ retirement in 2011, Jodee was named executive Jodee Nimerichter. director the next year.

Global View Last year’s festival performance schedule was more packed than ever, and Jodee’s move to Durham has allowed her to discover more alternative spaces to showcase dance. Partners include the Nasher Museum of Art at Duke University and the Living Arts Collective dance studio downtown, along with Raleigh’s North Carolina Museum of Art and Cary’s The Cary Theater. International offerings remain a focus. ADF students “literally [come] from all over the world,” Jodee notes. Jodee’s husband, Gaspard Louis, a former Pilobolus dancer, traveled to Siberia last year, where he conducted a dance workshop. As head of ADF community outreach, he not only connects with people across the world, but also across Durham. He led a youth camp in the studios this past summer – the “Shadow Camp with Pilobolus,” which was geared for kids ages 8 to 12. “I think of my summer class as a playground [for the

‘Fur Flew and Debate Raged’
How ADF got to Durham is another story. In the mid-’70s, then-ADF director Charles Reinhart was unhappy at Connecticut College and was looking to relocate the ADF summer festival. The choice eventually came down to UMass at Amherst or Duke University, where then-president Terry Sanford and his staff (Vicky Patton, Terry’s personal assistant/social secretary at the time, played a pivotal role) were big arts supporters. Duke won. It was in 1977 that ADF celebrated the move from Connecticut in late spring with a gathering on Duke University’s East Campus. A young Governor James B. Hunt Jr. mingled with the small crowd as people filled paper plates with fried chicken and strawberries. The decision to move in 1977 was not taken lightly, however. Writing in Dance Magazine, critic Nancy Vreeland later said: “Fur flew and debate raged.” The festival opened its doors officially the next summer. Many, including Terry, didn’t think the ADF would last. Page Auditorium, the place for the performances, had no air-conditioning, so Charles invited Terry often, assigning him to the hottest seat far up in the balcony. “The next year, we had airconditioning,” Charles has said in the past. Audiences flocked to the ADF – women in summer dresses, men in khakis, young people in dance attire and wild outfits. The festival not only had staying power, but also became a part of Durham’s transformation. ADF helped push forward the Durham Performing Arts Center, where major dance works are now performed. Durham – and North Carolina – has been the location for most of ADF’s programming, and as a result, “it is the place of record for an important part of modern dance history and an indigenous American art form,” Jodee says. – Linda Haac

BUYING A HOME This co-housing community in Trinity Park includes an original house – built circa 1920, owned by the Berry family – and five houses all built within the last 15 years surrounding the interior garden near the intersection of Club Boulevard and Norton Street. The interior common space is the literal and figurative heart of the compound.
WELCOME HOME
Recently, the Raleigh-Durham area was named as the No. 7 best place to live in the U.S. by U.S. News & World Report – so you know you’ve come to a great city. Smart Asset also found that Durham has the No. 1 healthiest housing market in North Carolina. But relocation can be overwhelming, starting with figuring out where to live. We asked Tammi Brooks – president of the Durham Regional Association of Realtors (durhamrealtors.org), which represents more than 1,500 Realtors and associate members in the Triangle – to give us an overview of the local market. By Amanda MacL ar e n | P h oto by Brian a Brou g h
How would you describe our current real estate market? And how has it changed over the last year or so? Since about 2012, the Durham real estate market has been a seller's. Very little inventory and lots of buyers. On most properties within a mile of city center, we regularly see multiple offers on a property.
20 DURHAM MAGAZINE VISITORS & RELOCATION GUIDE 2018
Durham is still in that seller's market, but it has slowed just a bit, especially on properties over $400,000. What’s the average turnaround time on the market right now? In 2017, the average number of days on market in Durham County is 31 – in that downtown corridor, it's about 10.
THE SEARCH FOR YOUR NEW OFFICE STARTS HERE. Tenant Representation Services When looking for office space, you deserve a local advocate with an expert upper hand to negotiate the most advantageous lease possible. Trinity Partners is that advocate. We partner with companies across the country to execute successful real estate investments right here in the Triangle.

Old East Durham, Walltown and Lyon Park are
seeing upward pressure on their prices.
What are people buying? How would you describe the styles of home here? Durham has a rich variety of architectural styles, and one of the things I love about Durham is how diverse the styles of homes are in any given neighborhood. There are many mill houses, Craftsman bungalows,
“It had everything on our list plus so many [other] things: A gallery for my art, a studio in the house for me to make glass art, a huge screened-in porch with a fireplace,” says Ilene Hadler of her Trinity Park home.
What’s your advice to someone just moving into this area? Rent first, or buy? Well, I think buyers have to rent first right now. Many buyers are bidding on two or three homes before "winning" a bid and getting under contract. If they choose to jump in and buy, where do they start? I always advise buyers to talk to a lender first. It's important for buyers to know what they qualify for in purchase price. Finding the right Realtor is also essential. If buyers already know people in the community, they should ask them who they know and trust. Trust is paramount in a buyer-Realtor relationship, especially in a chaotic, fastpaced market like Durham's.

BUYING A HOME
What are the “hot" neighborhoods at the moment? And which ones are "up and coming"? That's a tough question to answer. Durham in general is on fire. And "hot" is of course subjective to the buyer. As downtown prices surge upward, buyers are moving north – to neighborhoods like Fieldstone by the Eno and River's Edge – and south – to neighborhoods like Woodcroft and Hope Valley Farms. In town,

Georgians, Colonials, a healthy inventory of mid-century modern homes and of course lots of new construction throughout Durham County. And given that our average days on market is 30 days, people are buying it all. What are some of the quirks of living in the South compared to other parts of the States? Specifically, what kind of
lifestyle does Durham offer as a city? Have you seen the bikes that have just turned up all over town? You can use an app to rent the bike and jump on it and go! Durhamites want mobility. They want to walk, bike or ride accessible public transportation as often as possible. Durham's restaurant scene is unparalleled, as is our arts scene.

thousands upon thousands of visitors descending on the city nearly constantly. N.C. Central University, Duke, Durham Tech and The Art Institute [all] offer a variety of options for higher education. There is so much to see and do in Durham; that's why no one wants to leave and so many people are moving here! Tips on choosing the right Realtor? Ask someone you know and trust who they know and trust as a Realtor, and you won't go wrong. Don't be afraid to ask your Realtor questions. If your Realtor doesn't want to answer the questions, they probably aren't the right fit. Value the work your Realtor does on your behalf, and you will have a friend and resource for life. „

One of Duke Forest homeowner Sally Morgan’s splurges was an accent wall in the master bedroom decorated with handmade wallpaper from England. To further accentuate the wallpaper’s artistry, the rest of the room’s decor was kept simple: white bedding and a gray color palette. “Outside is what we really want to look at,” Sally says.

Once you’ve moved here, what’s the best way to get settled and make Durham feel like home? I always tell my clients, get out and walk. Say hello to people. Ask them questions. Durhamites love to talk about their city. Also: Eat out and talk to your waitperson and/or bartender. I've been here for 24 years, and I still learn things about my city when I listen to them. Have we left anything out? Any other secrets or insights you’d like to share about our current housing market? A software engineer I was helping to buy a home a few years ago told me about the lever test: What are the four levers you need to pull for your perfect home? For example, 1. Walkability 2. Fenced yard 3. New construction 4. Front porch. If you get three of your four levers (must-haves), buy it. So I always share this story with new buyers and say, “What are your four levers?” I'll aim for all four, but if we get three, it's a good house.

Mark Manz, 32, moved
to Durham from Baltimore in 2011, and was one of five runners we profiled in our May issue – each shared why the sport is so important to them, and some of their favorite running locales. “When I first moved to the area, I really only ran in two places: Umstead or the Al Buehler Trail,” he says. “Nowadays, I still get out to Umstead, but I live right off the American Tobacco Trail, so I’ll often just go out the door, and my variety consists of whether I run north toward downtown or south toward Wake County. … I do the vast majority of my runs solo, by design. But I have run for the Bull City Track Club pretty much since I’ve been down here. They’re a great group of like-minded folks sponsored by Bull City Running Company. Most of them are a good bit faster than I am, but they are very supportive and friendly.”

The sport of Ultimate Frisbee – not to be confused with disc golf or the games you play with your dog – has had an organized presence in our area for two decades thanks to the efforts of Triangle Ultimate, a nonprofit based at The Frontier in RTP that promotes the sport with a mission to increase the quality and quantity of Ultimate programs for all ages and skill levels. Tournaments are hosted regularly among various leagues and age groups. Here, Durham Academy’s Stillman Hanson reaches to catch the Frisbee in a match against the Carrboro Hydras.

Former Hillside High School student Desmond Jackson started competing in track and field at age 8 with the Carolina Cruisers in Charlotte. “Most of my teammates were wheelchair users, and I joined as the first amputee,” says Desmond, whose leg was amputated above the knee due to a birth defect before he was a year old. In seventh grade, he started competing with Rogers-Herr Middle School; it was around that time that Desmond and his mother, Deborah Waddell Jackson, set their sights on the Paralympics. In September 2016, Desmond’s dreams of joining Team USA became reality. He competed in the men’s 100-meter, 200-meter and long jump events in the Rio Paralympics and was named a U.S. Paralympics Track & Field High School All-American.

In late 2017, two dockless bike shares launched in Durham – LimeBike and Spin – deploying hundreds of green and orange bikes, respectively, across the city. Weeks later, Ofo, a Chinese-based bike-share startup, announced it would add hundreds of yellow bikes to the mix. The bikes can be located and rented using each company’s smartphone app, and the cost is usually $1 for 30 minutes for LimeBike and Spin, and $1 for an hour with Ofo.

IN AN EMERGENCY
When your pet faces a medical crisis, you’re likely to be frazzled and worried. That’s why the ASPCA says pet owners should have an emergency protocol in place. Check with your vet office to find out if they have an on-call veterinarian available after-hours or if they partner with a local emergency clinic or another practice with 24-hour service. Then write down the contact information for the emergency practitioner and put it on your refrigerator, in your phone contacts or somewhere else you can easily access it. While every pet is different, the ASPCA says these physical symptoms are signs your pet needs emergency care:
1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9.
Pale gums Rapid breathing Weak or rapid pulse Change in body temperature Difficulty standing Apparent paralysis Loss of consciousness Seizures Excessive bleeding

DOG DAYS
These events are not just canine-friendly, they’re canine-centered.
PHOTO COURTESY DURHAM BULLS
Grabbing a pint and some grub at Fullsteam, Motorco, Ponysaurus and the many other dog-friendly restaurants and breweries in Durham with your four-legged friend is always a good idea. But the Bull City has a number of canine-specific events and businesses to try out, too! Yappy Hour Beer tasting for you and your dog – don’t worry, dog beer is non-alcoholic and made from meat broth – plus biscuits, human food and live music at this regular fundraiser, held monthly each fall. Durham Parks Foundation hosts the benefit to support the future Rock Quarry Dog Park. Bark in the Park April 11, May 16, June 13, July 25, Aug. 22 This series of Durham Bulls games invites dogs and their owners to attend a ball game with a special pregame pup (and owner) parade on the field. Be sure to purchase human ($7.99) and canine ($5) tickets for the event. All proceeds of the latter are donated to Second Chance Pet Adoptions.
Pooch Plunge Cool off with your canines at Hillside Pool for a day of play. Held each year right after the pool is closed to humans. Beer Durham’s Dog Days Party with your pup during this monthly get-together in support of the Animal Protection Society of Durham. A portion of all draft sales benefits the shelter, and – if you’re looking for a new fur friend – some adoptable pets will be on site, too. Bring any items you’d like to donate to the shelter – food, bedding, old linens/sheets/towels, toys, etc., are always welcome! Paint Your Pet Last Wednesday of each month Unleash your inner artist and bring your fluffy companion to life on canvas with the help of Wine & Design during Paint Your Pet nights, held monthly at rotating downtown venues. Durham’s Dog Parks From Piney Wood Park’s three acres of wide-open play space to Northgate Park and downtown dog parks, there’s plenty of spots for your pup to meet up with buddies and get their exercise for the day.

Drinking local isn’t as straightforward as eating local. “The reality is, there’s no local coffee in the United States,” says Brett Smith, president of Counter Culture Coffee, whose headquarters are in Durham. “This isn’t a product until we do something to it,” he says of roasting, which the company does by the tens of thousands of pounds per week, including limited-edition offerings and a special holiday coffee. Hologram ($15.25), pictured here, is both fruit-forward and chocolatey. Created by Lizzie Chadbourne, Lo & Behold is a natural body care company that sells its wide range of products – from bath soaks and body scrubs to lip balms and hand salves to the activated charcoal and rosemary face mask ($10) you see here – at a number of our local shops, including Durham Co-op Market, Bungalow, The Mothership, Indio, Bulldega Urban Market, Vintage Home South, Parker & Otis and Pine State Flowers, among others. In the center of Brightleaf Square sits Bull City Olive Oil, a mecca for those who adore flavored oils and balsamic vinegars. In addition to these, the shop also offers a variety of simple yet refined items including local honey, salsa, spices and gift items like candles and tea towels. But the stars are the oils and vinegars, like this Tuscan Herb Infused Olive Oil ($12).

For more than 25 years, One World Market has been the go-to stop for many looking to find a special gift, piece of jewelry, children’s toys and books or home furnishings while also supporting fair trade. The nonprofit shop works with artisans who live in more than 70 developing countries, all of whom receive a livable wage for their creations. This candle ($10.50) is one of the rare items made in the United States – Chicago, specifically – by an organization called Bright Endeavors that provides the guidance and job skills for young moms to secure quality employment.

Though Mary Moyer graduated with a degree in culinary arts, she then started toying with granola recipes – something she didn’t learn in school. Folks were impressed, and her business, Double M Bake Shop, was born. Nut butters – including almond and peanut – were ground as ingredients for the granolas, so they became a natural second product. You can find her products locally at Durham Co-op Market, Bulldega Urban Market, Parker & Otis and Cocoa Cinnamon. (We couldn’t resist digging into this almond butter ($13.50) with its hints of honey and sea salt!)

Orders can be placed via the mobile app or at ubereats.com.

The plan is to have four food trucks parked on a full-time basis next to a barn serving beer, wine and cider at 1920 Chapel Hill Rd.

Commonly called DPAC (pronounced Dee-Pack), the largest of our city’s entertainment venues was recently ranked No. 4 in attendance among reporting theater venues in the U.S. by Pollstar magazine. (It’s been listed eight times in the top ten of Pollstar magazine’s annual worldwide theater attendance rankings.) As of August 2017, more than 3.5 million guests have attended DPAC since its first curtain show in 2008, and it entertained nearly 460,000 people in the 2016/17 season. The brightly lit glass structure in the heart of the city has become a symbol of the downtown renaissance and underwent several improvements in September 2017, including new carpet throughout the lobbies and seating area and 2,712 new seats. Also, last year, it was named as one of the top 21 most spectacular theaters in the U.S. by Curbed. DPAC hosts 200 performances a year, including touring Broadway productions, high-profile concerts and comedy events, family shows and the American Dance Festival. Broadway hits such as “Les Misérables,” “The Phantom of the Opera” and “The Color Purple” all are coming up this year.

ur area is home to impressive retailers, forward-looking startups and a host of social enterprises. In June 2017, Forbes named the area among the top seven tech cities undergoing a tenant boom, noting that the “region has benefited from innovation clusters near Duke University and a burgeoning life science sector. Several redevelopments in Durham, including The Chesterfield, will help meet new demand for life science. … Class-A vacancy rate is near a record low of 1.1% in downtown Durham, and overall asking rents have risen 15.8% since 2015.” When it comes to the gender wage gap, an Equities.com article recently touted that “in the city of Durham, women actually make more money than men, on average. Their salaries are 101% of their male counterparts, making this one of the only places in the U.S. to truly provide pay equity for women.” Along those lines, the startup incubator and one of ten Google for Entrepreneurs tech hubs, American Underground boasts 30% female-led companies, 31% minority-led companies and 48% female and/or minorityled companies of its 269 startups across four locations, based on its most recent annual report. “In 2017, the American Underground proved that an entrepreneurial ecosystem could work successfully to be both more inclusive, supporting entrepreneurs of all kinds, and create a place where businesses of all kinds find the resources they need to grow and thrive,” says American Underground Executive Director Doug Speight. “We look forward to continuing on this dual mission and drawing entrepreneurs from around the world to a dynamic Durham.” Here, some of our business owners who have come through American Underground share how they got their start. 82 DURHAM MAGAZINE VISITORS & RELOCATION GUIDE 2018

‘SAY IT LIKE YOU’RE FROM HERE’ Clothing brand founder tells the story of Durham and gives back to the city he grew up in through his art
Gabriel Eng-Goetz’s signature “DURM” line of clothing has caught
on since he launched in 2011, but the sheer velocity of enthusiasm still takes him by surprise. “People embrace [our Runaway] brand so much, and that is so powerful and special to me,” he says. “But at the same time, it’s like, ‘Who am I?’ I’m just some dude from Durham who decided to take his art and really put it out there.” The Jordan High (class of ’04) alum’s inspiration for the line came while traveling abroad after graduating from Syracuse University. “I DURHAM MAGAZINE VISITORS & RELOCATION GUIDE 2018 83

knew that I wanted to start a fashion label, but I just didn’t quite know the identity of it yet,” Gabe, 32, explains. “And I was searching for my own identity, too – really, Runaway is an exploration of identity not only for myself but also for the city of Durham. “At first it was mostly just an artistic
experiment; I was making clothing for me and my friends,” he says. “Once people started taking notice, they’d offer to buy the T-shirt off my back. I was like, ‘OK, maybe I can make a little money off of this.’” He first took his shirts to Morgan Imports to see if they’d be interested in selling his products. “Luckily, they gave me a shot,” he

says, and the eclectic gift shop became the first of many retailers to carry Runaway items. As Gabe continued to find more stores interested in stocking his items, he took the entrepreneurial plunge, quit his day job as a graphic designer – his B.F.A. is in illustration – at Body Billboards and after a months-long trip to Central America to prepare himself, went full-time into Runaway and freelance art. That was almost seven years ago. Today, Runaway produces everything from T-shirts to socks to pants to hats to shirts to jackets – you can now dress top to bottom in Runaway gear for prices ranging from $12 for a pair of “DURM” gym socks to $100 for a Durham Bulls replica jersey.

online at runawayclothes.com and at a handful of local outlets, in addition to their flagship store on West Main Street. Runaway has also collaborated with local groups. “A lot of the brand is just trying to quench a creative thirst, and working with other people really does that for me,” Gabe says. “Never underestimate the power of collaboration.” He says the company experienced 300% growth in 2016, but he measures success in other ways as well. “[The brand] is taking not only my message, but Durham’s message, all over the world,” Gabe says. “It’s starting conversations with people, creating a link, creating friendships. And that’s really what it’s all about.” – Amanda MacLaren

THE CAN-DOER Named to Forbes’ 2017 30-Under-30 list in the food and drink industry, MATI Energy drink founder Tatiana Birgisson’s passion is fueled by her own product – literally Every now and then – usually as she dangles from a rock face or climbing wall – 28-year-old Tatiana Birgisson stops thinking about how she’s going to take MATI, the energy drink company she founded, to the next level. These moments are fleeting. For someone whose company motto is “Do More. Be Better.,” Tatiana relentlessly pushes herself to improve. That kind of drive has taken MATI from a dorm room hobby to the bestselling energy drink in the Southeast. Tatiana started brewing tea as a student at Duke University, as she struggled to find her passion amidst a bout of depression. When she started selling that concoction to local business Shoeboxed, employees preferred her unique blend of highly caffeinated guayusa leaf tea and lightly carbonated fruit juices to Red Bull. Selected to compete at Google’s Demo Day in 2015, MATI was the surprise non-tech victor, taking home $100,000 in funding along with new notoriety. MATI grew by more than 131% in 2016, and Tatiana took her team from five people to 20. Tatiana also received support from Duke, which continues to house MATI in a university-funded space in American Underground @Main. She gives back by mentoring student entrepreneurs. “I can’t say I want Durham to become a great entrepreneurship hub without being a change agent and a driver of that myself,” she says. And she continues to constantly push herself and her company. “Trying isn’t just putting in effort,” Tatiana says. “It’s sacrifice.” – Jennifer Brookland DURHAM MAGAZINE VISITORS & RELOCATION GUIDE 2018 87

SOFA, SO GOOD For these furniture entrepreneurs, the Bull City is the perfect hub David Baron and Ryan Cocca have
been pursuing a passion for the past four years: the Nugget, a foam couch composed of four pieces that can be stacked and manipulated into any shape one can imagine. What started as a mission to find a replacement for a dorm futon has evolved, as the utility of a Nugget makes it the perfect “fun furniture” choice for kids’ playrooms to multipurpose rooms. Build a teepee, gaming system, lounge chair or bed. Or stack a couple Nuggets for a full-sized sectional. “A family in Vermont bought 11,” Ryan (pictured above, on ladder) dishes. The more Nuggets, the more possibilities. Nuggets are made from N.C.-sourced materials, then 88 DURHAM MAGAZINE VISITORS & RELOCATION GUIDE 2018

built, packaged and shipped by Ryan, 27, and David, 29, in a converted tobacco warehouse in east Durham. And unlike the threadbare bean bag chair currently taking up residence in your kids’ bedroom, the Nugget is durable enough to grow with the child, “from babies to teens and beyond,” Ryan says. David and Ryan are grateful for a successful Kickstarter campaign (which raised nearly $85,000, surpassing the original goal of $20,000 in less than a day) and partnerships with big brands like Rooms To Go and Wayfair.com, but they are most jazzed to be based in Durham, and specifically in the American Underground @Main startup hub. “[Our setup] is simply unbeatable,”Ryan says. David agrees: “We hear about how storytelling, cash flows, teamwork and product development play out in other businesses, and we’re constantly weaving it into our own thinking.” – Laura Zolman Kirk

DEAN’S LIST
In 2017, WalletHub recognized the Durham-Chapel Hill area as the No. 4 most educated city in the U.S. And in 2016, the U.S. Census Bureau’s American Community Survey recognized Durham as No. 2 on their list of the Top 10 Most Educated Mid-Sized Metros, with 44.8% of the city (25 years and older) holding bachelor’s degrees. The presence of universities tends to drive up educational attainment in an area, and we’ve got quite a few. Here’s a quick look at our city’s institutions of higher learning.
NORTH CAROLINA CENTRAL UNIVERSITY The historically black university was founded in 1910 and offers bachelor’s degrees in more than 60 fields of study and graduate degrees in more than 40 disciplines. It has attracted attention for its biotechnology institute, which collaborates with pharmacy and biotech companies in Research Triangle Park (RTP). Flagship programs include the sciences, technology, nursing, education, law, business and the arts. NCCU elected Dr. Johnson O. Akinleye as its 12th chancellor in June 2017.

Shepard, the founder of N.C. Central University, which was the first state-supported liberal art colleges for African-American students. Accolades The 2018 rankings of Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) by U.S. News & World Report placed NCCU fourth among the nation’s public HBCUs and second-highest among those in North Carolina. The university also received recognition in 2017 for two of its online programs – its collection of bachelor’s degree offerings and its master of educational technology – by U.S. News & World Report: NCCU ranked sixth in North Carolina for its online bachelor’s degree programs and fourth in the state for its aforementioned online master’s degree, which trains teachers to use instructional technology to improve the education of students, including those with learning differences and disabilities. Athletics The Eagles have won or tied to win the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference football title for the past three years, earning an invitation to the Air Force Celebration Bowl in 2016.

urham has a reputation for grit: the Bull City, the town tobacco built, known for scrappy startups and good baseball. But it’s also renowned for its outstanding health care options. Durham’s “City of Medicine” nickname has its origins in the creation of BC Headache Powder by two local pharmacists in 1906. Fast forward 112 years, and our physician-to-population ratio is more than four times the national average – U.S. News & World Report named this region No. 3 on its list of cities with the greatest access to quality health care in 2016. Nearly one in three Durhamites now works in a healthrelated field. How did we earn stellar renown for healing?

Research Triangle Park, nearly all of which is located in Durham County, is home to global pharmaceutical companies such as GlaxoSmithKline and Bayer Crop Science.

Three local physicians share advice for new-to-the-area patients “[For those new to the area,] I recommend first contacting their insurance provider to see which doctor or therapist is in their network. In-network providers are covered by their insurance company and there will be fewer out-of-pocket costs. Once a person has the list of in-network providers, check to see if [the physicians] have a website to learn more about them, and then finally check out the health grades given to that individual [practice] from the various website reviewers. I find that the better providers consistently have good reviews on the different websites.” – James A. Smith, Carolina Partners in Mental Health Care, PLLC “Ask around for recommendations for health care providers. Practices that have been around for awhile are often a good bet: they have done something right. [Before a first appointment,] think about the questions you have for your doctor and write them down. Don’t be shy about asking [questions]. If there is something on your mind, ask about it. You have to be comfortable talking with the doctor about your health.” – Gregory F. Hulka, North Carolina Eye, Ear, Nose & Throat “[Our specialty,] orthopaedics, is the area of medicine dealing with bones and the musculoskeletal system. If a patient has been to the ER or an outside urgent care, it’s helpful that they bring any x-ray films and medical notes to their appointment. If their insurance requires a referral they will need to call or see their primary care physician before they can be scheduled. Signing up for [a] patient portal when they schedule their first appointment is also beneficial.” – David Dellaero, EmergeOrtho

ONE TRULY MEMORABLE EXPERIENCE.
OUR TOP DENTISTS
F
or the eighth straight year, Durham Magazine commissioned a peer-to-peer survey of the local dental community – from endodontists to prosthodontists. The following rankings are the result. Dentists were asked the telling question: “If you had a patient in need of a dentist, which dentist would you refer them to, other than yourself ?” Durham is well-served by the dental community: Hundreds of dentists, specialists and support professionals have made this home, and the overall quality of dental care in our communities is second to none. What good dentist wouldn’t want to practice here?

A LITTLE BACKGROUND
The Top Dentists list for Durham is the result of a rigorous evaluation process consisting of peer-to-peer surveys of area dentists and professionals. This survey was conducted and managed by the nationally recognized third-party firm topDentists LLC of Augusta, Ga. The list is excerpted from the 2017 topDentistsTM list, a database that includes listings for dentists and specialists in the Durham area. The Durham list is based on detailed evaluations of dentists and professionals by their peers.

BANDING TOGETHER
The Rusty Pipes, composed of close to 25 retirees at Croasdaile Village, perform several times a year in their own community as well as various churches and senior centers By Am a n da M a c L a r en | P ho t o by B r i a n a B r o u g h

The Rusty Pipes band rehearses on Mondays at the cottage of Kathy and Lex Silbiger to prepare for events such as the Croasdaile Village Field Day. “While we welcome audiences, we play mostly for our own enjoyment and well-being,” Kathy says.
hen Kathy Silbiger retired from directing the Duke Institute of the Arts – what is today Duke Performances – in 2007, one of the first things she did was buy a trumpet. “I had played [the trumpet] through high school back in the early 1960s, and started learning to play again,” Kathy says. “I joined the OLLI New Horizons Band, which is a program run through Duke’s Office of Continuing Studies, to get back into the swing of things.” Kathy and husband Alexander “Lex” Silbiger, who had retired as the chair of the Duke Music Department in 2002, moved to Croasdaile Village 122 DURHAM MAGAZINE VISITORS & RELOCATION GUIDE 2018
THE 2018 DIRECTORY OF CONTINUING CARE, ASSISTED LIVING AND INDEPENDENT LIVING RETIREMENT COMMUNITIES There are many reasons why you might consider Durham as you search for retirement options: our well-rounded quality of life, mild climate, renowned dining, robust arts scene, continuing education programs and top-rated health care are just a few. Affordability also plays a factor – in 2015, Durham was recognized by U.S. News & World Report as one of the top 10 places to retire on $100 or less a day. Earlier this year, the city was recognized by Conde Nast Traveler as the No. 5 destination in the U.S. to spend your golden years for many of the reasons listed above. And we have a large number of retirement communities that strike the perfect balance between offering first-rate care and promoting independence. Since we know navigating the many pricing and contract options can be overwhelming, here’s our guide to the area’s best retirement centers.

in 2012. “I already played in three or four other groups, and knew how much I enjoyed playing and what a great activity it is for keeping young in mind and body,” Kathy says. “So I thought it would be fun to see if there were other residents of this large retirement community [of ] 600 residents who used to play an instrument like I did and might be interested in picking it up again.” She held an information session, and five people showed up. “These folks, some of whom didn’t even have instruments, were eager to try, so I found some music we could play with this very odd combination – trumpet, alto sax, clarinet, trombone, euphonium – and we just did the best we could,” Kathy says. “Our first performance was to play some very easy Christmas carols for Croasdaile Village during the holidays in 2013. “The name Rusty Pipes was suggested by Goldie Marrs, a retired band director (and our trombonist at the time), and it just seemed like the right description of us!” Kathy continues. “Goldie unfortunately passed away at the age of 91, a little over a year after we started, but she was an inspiration to all of us.” Lex did not join the group at first, as he did not play any wind instruments, but when Kathy bought an upright electric bass for the band, she asked Lex to play it. “I had never played bass in my entire life, although I had some experience with other string instruments,” Lex says. “Starting an entirely new instrument at 79 was challenging, but I soon began to make rapid progress. I can now say that I have done few things in my life that have given me as much pleasure as playing bass with the Rusty Pipes!” “I had never ‘led’ a group before and didn’t really have that in mind when I started this – I just wanted to play,” Kathy says. “But this has taught me a lot about how to work with intelligent and successful folks who happen to be seniors, who are learning a new skill or re-learning one. It’s given me a sort of ‘identity’ in the Croasdaile Village community, and I think it’s also inspired a lot of other musically inclined folks here to go ahead and get back into music-making in their own ways. ... We also now have a large chorus, a flute ensemble and a recorder ensemble, and there are new residents moving in all the time who have musical interests. ... It’s nice to know that making music is important to others as well and can give pleasure to our friends and fellow residents. We even have some groupies!”

SCENE IT
“Throwback to the “️First snow of 2017!” – Brett Seay (@brett.seay), winner of last year’s PictureDURM and Artstigators’ Snowstigatin’ contest
BY AMIR HUSSAIN, @E92TT “Durham is growing fast and changing quickly. How do we move things forward in the right direction?”
SCENE IT
Dedicated to “crowdsourcing the spirit of Durham,” PictureDurm (@picturedurm on Instagram) is a collection of photos chosen from users who share the #picturedurm hashtag. A passion project by founder Meredith Martindale, the scroll-worthy feed helps people connect with the city by capturing its culture. “The more diverse the photographers and photographs,” Meredith says, “the richer the experience.” Over the past few years, 14,000+ photos have been submitted.
