WHAT’S ONE FAVORITE THING – AN ACTIVITY, EVENT, BUSINESS, ETC. – THAT YOU’VE DISCOVERED THIS YEAR IN DURHAM? “The Open Border Policy cocktail at Kingfisher, made with Durham Distillery’s Conniption American dry gin, tequila, mezcal, cucumber, chili and lime husk agave.”

“I love the Garden of Eatin’ in Durham Central Park. It’s this tiny, free-pick herb garden, but it still offers a sense of quiet and isolation among the sage and vegetables.

It is a lovely and unexpected place of calm.”

“While in Durham for a school event, our family made a spurof-the-moment roller-skating trip to Wheels Fun Park. So much fun and only a couple bruises!”

“The tower lighting at American Tobacco Campus and parade to downtown’s City Center during the holidays is such a treat for my family!

It is a beautiful celebration of Durham that we can all enjoy.”

“Discovering the colors, beauty and feeling of Sarah P. Duke Gardens in autumn. Every season has its own unique pleasures there.”

“Axe throwing at Urban Axes Durham!”

ON THE COVER Photo by Beth Mann, taken at the Durham Pixel Wall in Durham Central Park.

From left to right: (on the wall) Hunter McCumber and his husband, Tanner Deisch; Kem Johnson; Michael McElroy; and Melissa Crane; (on the ground) Amanda MacLaren; Lauren Phillips; Rory Kelly Gillis; Kevin Brown and his kids, Cayden Brown, 10, and Miles Brown, 5; Rowan Gillis, 4, (running); Darrin Mann; Beth Mann; and Hannah Lee (standing).

y mother was born in Brooklyn, and my daughter in Manhattan. I met my wife there. I lived in three of the five boroughs over 15 years, and the city, our city, bustled unsleeping outside my daughter’s hospital window on the first night of her life. I thought that it’d be madness to live anywhere else. Because you can’t fake vibrancy, you can’t fake life.

We moved to this area almost three years ago. My wife has deep roots in North Carolina, but I came to Durham sight unseen. We were among the surge of others drawn here in search of something they’d not yet found or something they once had, and lost.

On several nights in my first few months here, I walked Durham’s streets like some orphan in the cold, looking for New York. I didn’t find it – I found Durham. I discovered an unmistakable vibrancy and energy that bustled in its own unique voice and image. It turns out there are indeed worlds beyond the ones we leave behind.

My colleagues at Durham Magazine speak lovingly and passionately of this city, born from experience and repetition. They have favorite haunts. They’ve been all over the city, and it is their home in all the countless specifics that make a life, a life. But, I’ve been able to see it with fresh eyes. And so will you.

Take a look through these pages and see.

Durham is fully stocked. It’s got you covered in the grand times: The bars and restaurants, theaters and museums rival any comparable city. It’s got you covered in the hard times: The health care facilities surpass those of nearly any city. Durham is educated, hard working and innovative. Just look at our business coverage over the last year, and you’ll find story after story of entrepreneurship at its best. But, the city and its leaders also know that all these accolades mean little to the work that still needs to be done. We are all in this together, and Durham knows it.

Durham is not New York City, no. But, neither is Paris. Durham is, however, a fully alive and bustling city that has, if you’ll forgive the cliché, something for everyone. Look through these pages and see. Take a walk through our streets. Come join the living in this vibrant city you’ll soon be proud to call home.

Some of Eastcut Sandwich Bar’s specials, sandwiches and salads such as the Super Tuscan Chopped salad, Spicy Gabagool sandwich and Greens & Grains salad paired with an adult slushie and a draft beer.

he former Family Garden center at 3211

Old Chapel Hill Rd., now Eastcut Sandwich

Bar, still has some of the feel of its past life, with plenty of surrounding greenery and a greenhouse that’s been converted into a beer garden backyard patio. Co-founders Brad Bankos and Steve Wuench – who have backgrounds in culinary and restaurant marketing, and management consulting, respectively, and share a passion for food and entrepreneurship – saw an opportunity to create a casual restaurant that offers “scratch-made food at a value price point, with a full and fun liquor program in a neighborhood setting.”

With 55 seats indoors and 55 seats on the front porch and patio, and another 80 seats on the back garden patio, there’s plenty of room to spread out. It’s a relaxing spot to gather with friends or colleagues after work, and the restaurant offers bingo the first Tuesday of the month, trivia the third Tuesday of the month and live music the first Saturday evening each month.

Some of the more popular sandwiches are the Spicy Gabagool, the Buff Chick and the Burger, but the rotating specials are also pretty hot. If you’re with a group, start with an order of Mozz Sticks or Crispy Brussels to share, and go for the “Flight to Sandwich Utopia,” a dine-in-only option with three, full-sized sandwiches. The frozen alcoholic slushies (like the Prickly Pear Margarita and Cherry Cola Bourbon Slush) have become big hits, but the restaurant also provides a wide and interesting variety of craft beers on draft or in cans.

If you want to skip the booze, try its house-made classic and seasonal lemonades, including mint, rosemary, basil, local strawberry and cherry, among other varieties. Even if you’re stuffed, you’ve gotta try the huge sea salt chocolate chip cookies. 

Cookies, scones, pies and muffins are among the many sweet options at East Durham Bake Shop.

East Durham Bake Shop

A

and Ben Filippo opened the brick-and-mortar iteration of East Durham Bake Shop (Ali sold her pies out of their Old East Durham home prior) in March 2018 after years of working in local food industries. The shop at 406 S. Driver St. is located in a beautifully renovated building that housed the Seagroves Grocery Store at the turn of the century, as well as a watch repair shop and a second-hand shoe store. Inside, you’ll step right up to the counter to place your order – coffee and beverages range from drip coffee to specialty cold brew iced coffee; pastries and baked goods from cookies to seasonal fruit galettes; soup, salad and savory pies can be paired for a lunch special discount.

(They are working to expand the lunch menu, too.) If you’re looking for a whole pie, be sure to order in advance.

Regulars know all about the tuffets – a brioche knot of the bake shop’s own invention with cardamom, honey, cashews and a hint of rosewater. And always grab a slice of whatever fruit pie is available. Because they only use ingredients that are in season, you may not see the same pie again till next year. And if you’re not into coffee, try a tea latte. “We work with two other local, woman-owned tea companies, Arteao and Jeddah’s Tea, and we regularly add new tea specials to the menu,” Ali says.

Before you order, check out the “Just Because” board next to the register – a pay-it-forward system where visitors to the shop purchase an item to dedicate to someone. “They range from humorous to sweet and sincere and have the power to brighten a bad day,” Ali says.

When you’re all settled up, take your pick from 25 seats indoors – complete with a large communal table and cozy window seat with a children’s library – or one of a dozen seats outside among a small garden of edible and native plants. “For us it’s all in the details,” Ali says. “Our goal is to create a peaceful environment for connecting with friends and loved ones, working, studying and getting to try classic pies and pastries as well as creative interpretations that come from seasonal and local ingredients.” li Rudel

Tracy Hancock of Hutchins Garage with the restaurant’s Spicy Vodka pizza.

Hutchins Garage

S

tarted by a group of familiar Durham restaurant folks – Owner/Operator Tracy Hancock, Owner Malachy Noone (also of Bull McCabes and Viceroy), Owner Harvey Gray and Head Chef Michael Morrone – Hutchins Garage is at 402 W. Geer St. in the historic Hutchins Auto Supply building in the Warehouse District near the Durham Bulls Athletic Park.

The spot is quickly becoming a staple of the food scene on this side of town as more businesses spring up in the area. The patio, set far back from the street, is inviting, all the more so when the big garage door is opened to reveal the fun and Instagram-worthy interior. Intriguing specially crafted cocktails and curated beer and wine selections (check their social media feeds for updates to draft lists) provide plenty of options for pairings with their pizzas.

“First timers should consider the margherita pizza,” Tracy says, “or one of the composed pies, like the Spicy Vodka. Fourteen inches round, cut into six slices, it’s difficult to not eat most of one yourself, so you may need to order two.” Another good sharing option is the slightly thicker, rectangular Grandma-style pizza, which the restaurant has become known for. “But save room for the house-made tiramisu,” Tracy says.

Cucciolo Osteria opened July 2018 at 601 W. Main St., Ste. C, with a 70-seat dining room, including 15 seats at the bar.

There’s also limited patio seating for up to eight.

“Our goal from the beginning [was] to serve simple, authentic Italian food made well,” Jimmy says. Cucciolo is best known for its pasta dishes, like the Spicy Vodka Tomato Cream Sauce Rigatoni, Black Truffle Tajarin and Walnut Pesto Tagliatelle; the butter chicken is another fan favorite. Jimmy hints that the popular Cacio e Pepe will be back on the menu for the summer, and he encourages guests to save room for the tiramisu. “We put a lot of effort and time to make this classic dessert the right way,” he says.

Another tip: Order family style so that your party can share and taste various dishes.

Jimmy and his team completed a private dining room – with its own entrance and bathroom – in summer 2019, which can accommodate up to 50 people and features paintings by Duke Arts students that were designed for the space.

With customer service at the forefront of University Kia, their staff quickly responds to changes in customer preferences. As customers turn to online databases for their initial car search, the staff at University Kia has shifted to emailing and texting customers as they seek out answers to their questions. “We know how to communicate with the customer in the way in which they want to be contacted,” Aric says.

With the opening of a new location, University Kia continues to improve the car-buying experience. To make carbuying more expedient, their staff asks more questions from the beginning to better understand the needs and preferences of each customer. “Showing the right vehicle to the customer earlier and increasing the staff to handle more customers,” are two of the ways that Aric says University Kia is expanding its capacity.

Aric attributes Kia’s recent growth to developing a better understanding of the customer and providing an exceptional experience to them. “Customers meet both sales and finance managers early in the car-buying process,” says Aric, in an effort to maintain transparency from the moment they walk through the doors.

In Aric’s time with University Kia, he has witnessed Kia become a superior brand across vehicle models. “From first-time car buyers to those looking for luxury vehicles, Kia offers a high-end experience for less than a high-end budget,” he says.

In addition to the diversity of the Kia lineup, Aric asserts that, “the culture that we’ve created at University Kia keeps people coming back.” The culture, he says, begins with the owners and trickles down to management and staff. “We believe that customers are the most important thing. Customer service is our top priority.”

ast year, the RaleighDurham area was ranked as the No. 10 best place to live in the U.S. by U.S. News & World Report – so you know you’ve come to a great city. But relocation can be overwhelming, starting with figuring out how to find a home. We asked Wallace Peiffer – 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.

Craven Miller and John Hykes moved in to their Georgian Revival home in the Rockwood neighborhood with their daughter, Evelyn, in June 2017. The home’s grand entrance and symmetrical windows are representative of neoclassical architecture.

NEIGHBORHOODS

How would you describe Durham’s current real estate market? And how has it changed in the last year or so?

Going from a market with multiple offers to a more balanced market today. So many apartments have been built downtown, and a lot of folks are renting prior to buying a home. They want to get familiar with the area.

How do apps like Zillow, Trulia and Redfin factor into the home search process? Are there best practices when it comes to potential buyers using these apps? Zillow and Trulia are still some of the major apps, but their information is usually not updated and current. Realtor.com is one of the most accurate and consumer-friendly apps in the marketplace.

What’s the average turnaround time on the market right now? The average days on market is 27 days for Durham County.

What are your tips on choosing the right Realtor?

Referrals are still the No. 1 way Realtors attract new clients.

A Realtor’s web presence is extremely important as well.  2020 DURHAM MAGAZINE VISITORS & RELOCATION GUIDE 25

NEIGHBORHOODS

What’s your advice to someone just moving into this area? Rent first, or buy? I think this depends on a buyer’s personal comfort with the area. A new person coming into the area a lot of times likes to get comfortable and relaxed with the area.

If they choose to jump in and buy, where do they start? The first step would be for the buyers to sit down with a Realtor for a home-buying overview.

Going over how the process works and a timeline from contract to close is extremely important.

What are the “hot” neighborhoods at the moment? And which ones are “up and coming”? Downtown is still very hot and continues to sell well. 751 South area has shopping, parks and common space and is attracting buyers as well.

Are there “best times” of the year to buy, or to start looking to purchase a home? The Triangle, in general, is a yearround market. The springtime is when more properties will come on the market.

What kind of lifestyle does Durham offer as a city? Durham downtown is a very diverse market with many cultural contributions. Enjoy a Broadway play at DPAC or a play at The Carolina Theatre.

Don’t forget about the world-famous Durham Bulls Athletic Park.

Any other secrets or insights you’d like to share about our current housing market? Currently, we are experiencing a more balanced market.

Interest rates are great for buyers, and inventory continues to be in low supply for sellers. Single-family new construction permits are down 7% in Durham. Current national and global conditions may be affecting people’s decision to purchase because of uncertainty.

What We Love About Living In …

FOREST HILLS Numerous parks, open green spaces and a close-knit community have drawn families to this neighborhood for decades

By Morgan Cartier Weston

O

ne of the earliest planned residential neighborhoods in Durham, the Forest Hills community is rich in both history and style.

The majority of its homes were constructed from the 1920s to the 1950s and represent a range of architectural themes and aesthetics. “The original development plan was only partially achieved due to the Depression, so the neighborhood is a kind of time capsule of architectural styles from throughout the 20th century as various building booms and busts came through,” says Forest Hills resident Dr. Chris Woods.

In 2004, Chris and his wife, Dr. Suzanne Woods, were living in and renovating a traditional foursquare home in Trinity Park while raising their two young children. When they learned a 1925 Tudor Revival home in Forest Hills was coming on the market, the Woods family jumped at the opportunity.

Chris grew up in an Atlanta neighborhood called Druid Hills, which was laid out by famed landscape architect Frederick Law Olmsted.

Olmsted contributed to the design of many public and private spaces, including Central Park in New York City and the Biltmore Estate in Asheville. “There is Olmsted DNA in Forest Hills as well, which is what attracted me,” Chris says. “Graceful houses elevated above parkways with large public green space.”

Originally planned by George Watts Carr Sr., the neighborhood is built around Forest Hills Park, which was once home to a nine-hole golf course. Lyon Park and Orchard Park are also within walking distance, providing Forest Hills residents with ample options to walk their dogs, gather for picnics and play sports. In 2005, the neighborhood was listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

“It has everything you could want,” says Nita Farahany, who has lived in Forest Hills with her husband, Thede Loder, and daughter Aristella since 2015. “Unique homes, mature trees, close proximity to downtown and the farmers markets.” But what sealed the deal for her and Thede was the idea of their children growing up in such a special neighborhood. “We can literally walk to three parks,” Nita says. “We knew we wanted to have kids, and this was the place.”

The couple met in San Francisco and relocated to Durham when Nita was given the opportunity to teach and continue her scholarship at Duke University. She attended Duke for her Juris Doctor and doctorate and was already familiar with the familyfriendly nature of the Durham community. A Charlotte native, she also welcomed the idea of raising children near her parents and on the same coast as Thede’s family, who live in New Hampshire.

NEIGHBORHOODS

The minimal decor and clean lines of Nita Farahany and husband Thede Loder’s living room reflects the modern and sleek design of the rest of their home.

The decision to move into Forest Hills seemed like an easy one, but making it happen proved more difficult. “We bid on a house around the corner and lost,” she says. Eventually, a tip from a friend led them to a vacant midcentury modern home. After purchasing the property in 2012, they quickly learned it was not the dream renovation project they had hoped for.

“The home was built on a hill, and we learned the foundation was not salvageable,” Nita says. The couple turned to Chapel Hill-based architect Phil Szostak (who also designed the Durham Performing Arts Center) to help re-envision the property to maximize function while retaining both the modern elements that appealed to Nita and the fit with the character of the homes in the neighborhood.

The solution involved a complete demo of the existing home, but first, Nita and Thede invited Habitat for Humanity of Wake County to come in and salvage materials. “The first Halloween, the Habitat folks had pulled out all of the windows, so we took advantage of the ‘haunted house’ look – [we] gave out candy and got to know our future neighbors. The kids loved it.”

After a year of planning and a year of construction, Nita, Thede and newborn Aristella moved into their modernist home in 2015.

“Everyone in the neighborhood was so receptive to the idea of new construction, it really made us feel welcome,” Nita says. Now, the family enjoys an active life on Hermitage Court, where neighbors take turns hosting holiday parties and go on vacations together.

Thede, a tech entrepreneur, appreciates the connectivity and forward momentum that come with life in an expanding city. “The growth in Durham is exciting, and even more so because of the interesting, remarkable group of people around us,” he says.

“There have been lots of changes, mostly positive, and more need to come,” Chris says. “A recent highlight was the installation of the Mary Duke Biddle Trent Semans History Grove at the base of the [Duke] family’s last residence in Durham, ‘Pinecrest.’” (The History Grove honors Mary, a mother, activist, politician and philanthropist who was also the great-granddaughter of Washington Duke.)

Chris and Suzanne have been active in the neighborhood since arriving. Chris has served as a longtime board member and is a past president of the Forest Hills Neighborhood Association, and Suzanne presides over the Forest Hills Garden Club, which is experiencing a revival of energy and activity through an increasing membership.  2020 DURHAM MAGAZINE VISITORS & RELOCATION GUIDE 27

Wright and Julian Carr, founders of the Durham Consolidated Land and Improvement Company, purchased Durham’s streetcar system. They quickly realized the Lakewood land afforded a unique opportunity to build an attraction that would increase ridership and bring vitality to the neighborhood.

magine growing up in a charming 1920s home, each room warm with handcrafted details and natural light. A cozy kitchen is the heart of the first floor, and outside, a lush playground of trees invites you to wander through it. Upon reaching the other side, you have your pick of fresh vegetables growing in the garden.

This is the idyllic environment that Burlington natives Craven Miller and John Hykes are crafting for their daughter, Evelyn, in Rockwood. The couple purchased their Georgian Revival home on University Drive in June 2017 and have been working to make it their own ever since.

They met in high school, and each made his way to the University of California, Berkeley to pursue a graduate degree. Craven got his in interior design, and John in landscape architecture. They reconnected in the San Francisco Bay Area in 2001 and got married in 2007. Along the way, their experience in their respective fields grew, as did their family; they adopted Evelyn in 2014.

In 2017, John received a job offer in North Carolina, and the house search began.

“When this one popped up, we had almost stopped looking,” says Craven, who knew the home long before he ever considered living in it. “I couldn’t believe it. When I lived here

the back of the house. “It was dangerous with all of the trees, so we shifted it over to allow more parking and fluidity,” John says. “Now, it has a grand feeling. It creates this pleasant surprise as you drive in – it keeps revealing itself.”

Though it was a big shift to relocate from a large city, the family has settled into life in Durham. “Being North Carolinians, we knew what we were getting into,” Craven says, “but the range of activities and food options that have appeared in downtown Durham since I lived here, especially those like Dashi, made us feel even more excited about coming back.”

And Rockwood has proven a perfect fit. “We love that Rockwood is so central to most of Durham,” Craven says. Guglhupf, Foster’s Market and Nana’s are favorite dining spots, and they like shopping for furniture at Patina.

“We especially enjoy having access to commercial centers and restaurants,” Craven says (the Rockwood, Hope Valley and Lakewood shopping centers are all within a two-mile radius). The couple also frequents Rockwood Park, and on nice days, bikes Evelyn to her preschool at Lakewood Avenue Children’s School.

“We are really looking forward to the pedestrian and bike paths planned for Cornwallis [Road] to improve access to these spaces even more.” 

NEIGHBORHOODS

in the ’90s, I lived in Old North Durham and worked here on University Drive,” he says. “I was around this neighborhood a lot and knew this house well.”

After viewing photos online, John agreed it was worth a closer look. Realtor Chloë Seymore of RED Collective coordinated a walk-through for John’s Burlington-based parents, who shared the tour with them via video call. “We decided to visit ourselves, and after that, we put an offer in right away,” John says.

Raising their daughter closer to family was a large part of their decision to move to North Carolina, but Craven and John were also excited about taking on a big project together. “There was no air conditioning, for starters,” John says. “That was the first thing we tackled.”

The home was part of the original Rockwood development that began almost 100 years ago and was built in 1928 for Dr. James Shuler, a physician. Dr. Shuler’s office was on the second floor of 402 S. Driver St., above what is now East Durham Bake Shop. Across the street from the bakery, Craven and John now work together at their firm, Design Bank. “It’s really cool how it’s come full circle,” John says.

Most of the home renovation projects they have undertaken have been on the practical side, including replacing the leaking roof and dated interior floors. But with those projects, as well as the air conditioning, out of the way, John and Craven have set their sights on making the home more functional. “We definitely want to move laundry upstairs into a mudroom, and turn the carport into a screened porch,” John says. “We haven’t knocked any walls down, though – we very much like the house the way it is.” Originally, the couple planned to expand the kitchen as well. “But we love the dining room so much, we’ve abandoned those ideas.”

The dining room features hand-painted custom wallpaper, lending a traditional element to the house without feeling stuffy. That feel carries throughout the home; updated light fixtures balance old and new, and bold colors harmonize with soft fabrics in a way that invites visitors to come in and stay a while.

Craven says they are especially partial to their art collection, including pieces they purchased at a gallery called Creativity Explored in San Francisco, which supports art programs for those with mental disabilities. “Another particular piece that I love is a collage my mother did in the ’60s showing a city street,” he adds.

But the biggest changes have happened outside. “We fenced in the property for Evelyn’s safety, and then John designed the landscaping and worked to put it in,” Craven says. “We changed quite a lot.”

Originally, the property consisted of a flat green front lawn and a large, aging hedge. The driveway wound through a grove of trees to

What We Love About Living In …

DOWNTOWN What it’s like to live on the 15th floor of One City Center

ray Ellis moved from Treyburn – where he’d lived for eight

years in a home that was more than 5,000 square feet – into a 1,600-square-foot One City Center apartment in November 2018. Prior to that, he lived in Watts-Hillandale.

“But I think this one is my favorite,” Gray says.

He and his son, Nik, share the two-bedroom, two-bathroom space, which also features a small den. Even when they lived in Treyburn, Gray maintained a small downtown apartment to make it easy to spend weekends enjoying the city. When they started thinking about their next move from Treyburn, Gray says, “Nik loved being downtown, and so I thought, ‘Huh, I should really consider this.’” By that point, all the One City Center condos were pre-sold, but since he wasn’t sure “that we would’ve liked to be in a condo for the next 20 years, I figured, it’s probably good to rent for a minute and see if we even like it,” Gray says, “and the answer is, ‘Yes, we do.’”

Moving from a home that was more than three times the size of the apartment required some downsizing – luckily, the folks who

eager to make the most out of the rooftop pool as well. “We should go swimming tonight,” Nik suggests. They also frequently make use of the sixth floor’s fitness center.

“On the weekend, he has a routine of waking up on Saturday mornings and going over to Rise,” Gray says. “So, I like to go over to the farmers market, pick up some things for the next week. We’ll hit the gym or just walk around the

bought the home in Treyburn had similar tastes and wanted to keep a lot of the items in the home. Apart from that, “we just got rid of everything,” Gray says, and it shows. The decor in the apartment is straightforward and minimal. “It’s definitely simplified our lives.”

There is one piece of furniture, however, that Nik and Gray disagree on: the couch.

“It is not my taste at all,” Gray says. “I promised him when we moved that we would get a reclining couch, so I did, and I’ve lived through it, as a good parent.”

And then there’s another object that adds sentimental value to the room – a piece of wall decor in the form of a mounted bull’s head. It’s traveled with them for nine years and is painted a different color to match the design of the room it’s in – it’s been white, pink, silver, and is now a dark bronze.

But nothing compares to the most significant aspect of the apartment: “This is the best view in Durham,” Gray says.

“You cannot beat this.” He specifically chose this corner apartment, which has sightlines looking south and west, across the Durham Bulls Athletic Park, American Tobacco Campus and along West Main Street. You can even see University Tower and parts of UNC Hospitals in the distance. Gray chose this residence also for the floor it’s on – it’s just high enough to give a long-distance perspective, but low enough that details on the streets down below and, importantly, in the ballpark, can still be seen.

Besides, if you want that 28th-floor experience, it’s one quick elevator ride away. The club room – complete with a catering kitchen, lounge seating, flat-screen TVs and a pingpong table – provides both an escape when you’re working from home as well as a place for community.

“We will definitely be up there watching some games, hanging out and meeting neighbors,” Gray says. And they’re both

One of his favorite places is Thai @Main Street. I like Luna.” They also frequent Pokéworks, which is on the retail level of One City Center, and, at the time of the interview, were eagerly awaiting the opening of other One City Center tenants B.Good and Juicekeys (which are now open). “We don’t keep a lot of food in the fridge,” Gray says.

“When I moved here 20 years ago,” Gray says, “You wouldn’t be caught dead [downtown] in the evening. I used to work at a law office on the corner of Parrish and Mangum, and you would leave at 5 o’clock, go straight to your car, and you would leave. Now, you don’t want to leave, you want to be downtown.

“It’s the place to be.”

The school bus parked not far from the intersection of Guess and Umstead roads in northern Durham County doesn’t look all that different on the outside from most: An extended roofline and solar panels are the only clues that it’s being used for something other than transporting children. This bus is home to Jon and Katie Mills. The couple made the decision in 2018 to convert it into a house on wheels. With less “stuff ” to worry about, the family – including kids Kaitlyn, 7, Seth, 5, and Elyse, 3 – spends more time focused on one another and has the freedom to pick up and travel in their own home.

Hip-hop artist Joshua Gunn, the vice president of member investment at the Greater Durham Chamber of Commerce and co-founder of Black August in the Park, was one of six people we highlighted last year who are making a lasting impact on our city.

If you want the full scoop on some of the Bull City’s most recognizable – or sometimes, completely concealed – artwork, one of the best ways to get it is by bike.

“The idea for the mural tours started with the Nasher Museum of Art at Duke University and morphed into a collaboration among Preservation Durham, Museum of Durham History and the Nasher,” says Diane Amato, the office manager for Preservation Durham who also coordinates the tours.

The tours roll out from Durham Central Park on the first Saturday of the month, May through November. The group meets at 10 a.m. across from the entrance to the farmers market, and the ride can last anywhere from 90 minutes to two hours. 

Gus owes a great deal to Rodney and Sarah Hayden. The couple found the kitten in 2011 when he was about 2 weeks old, trapped under their porch in Durham. Rodney freed him by ripping out boards from the deck. They bottle fed Gus and gave him round-the-clock attention for a few months. Now 9 years old, the Siamese-tabby mix is famed in the community for the leash the couple puts on him when they go to some of their favorite pet-friendly spots, like Guglhupf, Fullsteam Brewery or the Eno River.

BEER ME

Durham was recognized as one of “10 Untapped Beer Cities Poised to Blow Up” by Thrillist in 2016. The brewery scene has certainly grown since then, and the city was noted most recently in a Forbes article as adding to the state’s status as a “craft beer mecca” (Fullsteam, specifically was lauded for paving “the way for many more breweries to open and significant job creation in the industry.”) Many of the following breweries and distilleries also offer tours.

Barrel Culture This brewery has 18 taps and a diverse beer list of in-house and guest brews. It produces mixed culture ales like Guava Mango and Peach Apricot. 4913 Alston Ave.; 919-908-9659 The Brothers Vilgalys Spirits Company Offerings include Krupnikas, a Lithuanian spiced honey liqueur, plus four other liqueurs called Zaphod, Beebop, Beatnik and Jabberwock, all flavored with herbs, spices and other botanicals.

803 D Ramseur St.; 919-617-1746 Bull City Burger and Brewery A family-friendly, locally owned and independent craft brewery and restaurant featuring awardwinning beer made from locally sourced ingredients.

Parrish St.; 919-680-2333 Bull City Ciderworks Six cider year-round mainstays include the Off Main, Sweet Carolina (made with local honey), Cherry Tart (Montmorency cherries), Smooth Hoperator (dry hopped), Rhize Up!

It was the first beer company at a Minor League Baseball stadium. 409 Blackwell St.; 919-744-3568 Durham Distillery Specializing in gins – under the flagship name, Conniption, it has an American Dry and a Navy Strength – plus a line of liqueurs: one made with Videri chocolate, another made with Slingshot coffee and a mocha that combines the two. In 2017, the distillery also launched a cold-distilled cucumber vodka, which it canned as a vodkaand-soda cocktail alongside a canned gin and tonic in 2018, the same year it was named the Best Craft Gin Distillery in the U.S. by USA Today.

711 Washington St.; 919-937-2121 Durty Bull Brewing Co. Barrel-aged, sour and hoppy brews. Dog-friendly with live music weekly.

PERFORMING ARTS

BACKSTAGEPASS

O

n any given weekend, downtown Durham buzzes with live music, dance and theater performances.

Our largest venues attract big names and Broadway shows, while more intimate venues are a great place to discover the next local band or dance troupe, or to try your hand at acting or carrying a tune. Whether you’re a fan of opera or experimental metal, our city offers plenty of options for your next night out. Bonus: There’s lots of good food to eat downtown after a show.

The ShaLeigh Dance Works company performs “I Promise” at The Fruit.

Durham Performing Arts Center Locally known as DPAC (pronounced dee-pack), the largest of our city’s entertainment venues celebrated its 11th anniversary last year and was named the 2018 Theater of the Year by the International Entertainment Buyers Association (IEBA), a leading trade organization for live entertainment industry professionals. It’s ranked among the top five theaters of its size in America by Pollstar, Billboard Magazine and Venues Now. As of November 2019, about 4.5 million guests have attended DPAC since its first curtain show in 2008, and it entertained nearly 540,000 people in the 2018/19 season.

The brightly lit glass structure in the heart of the city has become a 94 2020 DURHAM MAGAZINE VISITORS & RELOCATION GUIDE

symbol of the downtown renaissance that started a decade ago, and it underwent several improvements in September 2017, including new carpet throughout the lobbies and seating area and 2,712 new seats.

DPAC hosts more than 200 performances a year (more than 2,200 in its existence) including touring Broadway productions, high-profile concerts and comedy events and family shows. Broadway hits such as “Les Misérables,” “Jesus Christ Superstar,” “Wicked” and “Hamilton” all are coming up this next season. Music stars Bob Weir and Wolf Bros, Mandy Moore and Lake Street Dive will perform in 2020, as will comedians Gabriel Iglesias and Chris Tucker. 123 Vivian St.; 919-680-2787; dpacnc.com

If DPAC is the shiny new kid on the block, The Carolina Theatre is Durham’s grand dame. Built in 1926, it underwent a multimillion-dollar renovation that preserved its Roaring Twenties charm while introducing modern comforts. Its largest performance space, Fletcher Hall, can hold about 1,000, while Cinemas One and Two can seat 226 and 49, respectively. It’s home to festivals of all stripes, including the Nevermore Film Festival and OutSouth Queer Film Festival (formerly known as the North Carolina Gay + Lesbian Film Festival). It also hosts the Arts Discovery Series to engage students and compliment the course curriculum of Durham Public Schools as well as more than 60 concerts each year encompassing all genres of music, while also hosting comedy tours, live podcast shows and more.

Past performers include comedians Dave Chappelle, Iliza Shlesinger and Seth Meyers, as well as musicians Melissa Etheridge, Trey Anastasio and India Arie.

2020 acts include the band O.A.R., percussionist Zakir Hussain and musician Brian Culbertson. It’s also one of the best places to catch art-house films often not found elsewhere as well as retro films. 309 W. Morgan St.; 919560-3030; carolinatheatre.org

The new space has hosted: installations for international artists like Zanele Muholi, Georges Rousse and Mona Kuhn; local performance artists like Monet Marshall and Ginger Wagg; international jazz greats like Joshua Redman, Nnenna Freelon, Jason Moran and Cécile McLorin Salvant; electronic music stars like QuestLove and Ellen Allien; and many more. 305 S.

BUSINESS

TAKING CARE OF BUSINESS Photography by Beth Mann

D

urham’s business is booming. Its tech, medical, educational and startup ecosystems are teeming with such life, they help draw some 20 people a day. Durham makes countless lists of the best places to live in the country. But you probably already know that since you are now among those new neighbors and visitors. Below is a snapshot of some of the recent accolades and developments in the business community, as well as excerpts from our magazine’s pertinent business coverage.

IN BRIEF Inc. magazine ranked Durham at No. 3 on its list of the 50 best cities for startups in 2020.

In August 2019, WalletHub ranked Durham as the eighth best real estate market in the country, and in May, it named Durham as the country’s seventh best large city in which to start a business.

According to a 2019 Life Sciences Outlook report, Research Triangle Park ranks as the nation’s fourth-leading life science hub among major metro areas. RTP’s growth in tech companies, its proximity to top-notch higher education, and its growth in equity and specialized areas in innovation, contributed to the ranking.

The Urban Land Institute and PricewaterhouseCoopers, rank Raleigh-Durham No. 2 in “Overall Real Estate Prospects” and No. 1 in “Homebuilding Prospects.”

102 2020 DURHAM MAGAZINE VISITORS & RELOCATION GUIDE

GOBankingRates ranked Durham No. 25 on its list of “Best Cities for Young Professionals” based on factors like cost of living, income, workforce participation and the percentage of the population between the ages of 20 and 34.

In November 2019, Durham passed a $95 million housing bond, which Mayor Steve Schewel said will help “create or preserve 2,800 affordable rental units and for-sale housing opportunities,” and will help 15,000 residents. The bond would be combined with $65 million from local/federal funding for a total of $160 million to fund the city’s Affordable Housing Bond Investment Plan.

In a September 2019 analysis by the U.S. Census, the DurhamChapel Hill area had the fourth largest share of female business owners for a midsized metro area at 39.2%.

Four Durham businesses were among 24 startups that received $50,000 each from the One NC Small Business Program in April.

The money is part of a $1.1 million grant. Isolere Bio Inc. will use the money to develop a faster and more cost-effective method for purifying antibodies during drug development; Praetego Inc. will develop and test new drugs for treating neuropathy caused by diabetes; PrimeNeuro Inc. will develop software methods and algorithms for improved detection of autism disorders; and Zymeron Corporation will develop a sustained-release aspirin formulation for preventing colon cancer.

BUSINESS ON TRANSIT Durham and regional leaders are working on comprehensive land use and transportation plans to account for our area’s growth.

Some of the planned improvements for the bus lines, as of last summer, include adding 114,437 new service hours, starting construction on 31 bus stop designs and choosing 50 new stop locations. All Durham buses have free Wi-Fi. Sean C. Egan, who was hired as director of the city’s Transportation Department in October, said these changes mean a lot to riders.

“Keep the focus on the riders,” said Egan – who most recently served as the director of financial reporting for the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority – and remember that the frequency and reliability of service are the riders’ chief concerns. The bottom line for them, he said, is not economic development, but rather, “Will there be a bus arriving in the next few minutes?”

As part of the plan, the city and county planning department is also undertaking an intense community engagement plan to gauge the specific and direct needs of the community. More than 100 outreach team members and ambassadors are meeting with people in their homes and at their workplaces to find innovative ideas, get meaningful feedback and ensure everyone has a voice. 

“Durham Public Schools must be intentional in acting collaboratively and involving all stakeholders, ensuring that our community utilizes its collective resources to support every child,” the plan states. “The Durham community shares responsibility with DPS for the success of our children.”

The plan, for example, calls for an official community partner for every school.

As more businesses “join forces with us,” Mubenga said, “I think it’s going to be a win-win for all of us.”

So far, the effort has shown promise. As of the 14th day of the 2019-20 school year, DPS had 32,993 students enrolled, an increase of 555 students from 2018.

“That’s a very encouraging sign, because we did not see that in the last four or five years,” Mubenga said.

Principals actively promote their schools, speaking with prospective parents and placing signs on school corners. Mubenga plugs popular programs in the arts, sciences and technology at his public speaking engagements. Some schools have used parents as ambassadors to promote school pride and answer other parents’ questions and concerns.

A year ago, community and city leaders formed the Durham Public Schools Foundation to build support and investment in the schools.

ON DEVELOPMENT The work of Roger Perry, the founder of East West Partners, is etched across Chapel Hill’s landscape. Meadowmont, East 54, Village Plaza – each offers the town’s residents a place to live, shop and relax, the staples of the mixed-use developments for which Perry is known. But, his sights over the years have moved to Durham as well, including The Bartlett, Davis Park and Liberty Warehouse. The locations in both Chapel Hill and Durham have similar features, whether single-family homes or luxury condos. Perry spoke with us about his experience in developing both places, and how listening to both the community and the marketplace is one of the most important parts of a successful negotiation. This interview has been condensed and edited for clarity.

Chapel Hill has a reputation for having a Byzantine approval process for new development, but how is Durham?

It’s not necessarily easy in Durham either, but it is not nearly so subtle.

It’s much easier to figure out what you are or are not going to be able to do in Durham in a much shorter time. I don’t always agree with their decisions either, but you don’t have to go through so much

DIRECTORY OF BUSINESS RESOURCES analysis and process. Durham is more certain about what it will allow and will not allow than Chapel Hill is. And Durham knows what it wants and where it wants it.

Meadowmont and some of your other developments have a neo-Urbanism vibe to them – homes with front porches and other elements that enable community. Was that intentional? Can it be replicated in Durham?

It was very intentional. I don’t think you can replicate it even in Chapel Hill anymore because there are no more parcels available in Chapel Hill big enough to accommodate a Meadowmont or a Southern Village.

Chapel Hill has an urban growth boundary around it, and it is pretty much impossible to redo that unless you completely redevelop an existing area, and I don’t think the economics of that are viable yet.

In Durham, there are places you can do that, and Durham is willing to grow geographically as well.

Has development in Durham peaked, or is it still wide open?

I don’t think we’ve approached the ceiling yet. I don’t even know where the ceiling is. I think there’s going to be significant additional growth in Durham.

found that employees measure an effective workplace across several categories, including learning opportunities, job autonomy and flexibility. The final category is among the most popular, especially with working parents with a sick kid at home. It is also fundamental to a younger generation who sees worklife balance as less of a perk, and more of an entitlement.

The findings, however, also suggest a national workforce caught between the future and business as usual.

From 2012 to 2016, the study showed, the percentage of companies allowing employees to work from home on a regular basis rose from 33% to 40%. But, the percentage of employers allowing workers to take time during the day to attend to family needs fell from 87% to 81%.

Most notably, the percentage of companies showing “support for flexible work arrangements,” fell from 31% in 2005 to 14% in 2016, a “surprising finding” the researchers wrote, “given how much talk [there has been in the media over the last decade] about the need to increase flexibility.”

But these are national numbers across disparate industries, some of which are far less receptive to change. In Durham, the momentum is well on its way.

A ready pool of highly skilled talent here is a chief reason why Durham was largely spared the worst parts of the 2008 recession, which the study says likely dampened the worklife balance momentum nationwide.

That pool is deep, and it’s young.

BUSINESS As unemployment rates stay low and many potential workers can afford to wait for the right offer, businesses both in Durham and nationwide are having to show more interest in providing better work-life balance.

Pam Higdon, the co-owner and president of the Durham/ Raleigh franchises of Express Employment Professionals, a national employment agency, said that “On any given day,” in Raleigh and Durham, “we have several hundred people out working in different companies.” Several of those companies, she added, often rely on her clients to fill full-time positions. A lot of workers “come to us with flexibility in mind,” she said, and the employers know it.

“Almost every company has to be thinking of these things to stay competitive,” she said.

But the drive toward balance is about more than supplying worker demand, business leaders here say. It’s good for the bottom line.

“Earlier in my career,” said Robbie Allen, CEO of Infinia ML, an AI developer, “I was more of a brute-force, put-in-whatever-hoursit-took-to-be-successful kind of person. Now, with two kids and a family, I try to be more efficient with my time.”

For that reason, Infinia has a strict time-off policy. 

BUSINESS “Our PTO policy is 25 days a year, but we enforce and track that everybody uses every day throughout the year,” Allen said.

Some employees “are so conscious about their work,” he said, “that their time away is not something they prioritize, and they may take only five days off the whole year.”

It is the company’s responsibility, he said, “to make sure people are taking the necessary time to recharge their batteries.”

This thinking extends from the pace of the work to how the work is done, and, in another shift from historical models, is about seeing employees as more than just replaceable cogs.

These are not the lonely whisperings of small startups in isolated markets.

Even financial behemoths have taken note.

Andrea Hough is the head of talent management for Fidelity, which is based in Boston but has a large, state-of-the-art, pingpong-table-andopen-workspace-filled headquarters in Research Triangle Park. Her chief job, she said, is “understanding the hopes and the dreams and the aspirations of our associates.” By doing so, she adds, she can help them devise work environments that let them “be the best version of themselves so that they can deliver [that version] to our customers.”

Fidelity has more than 40,000 employees worldwide, and 3,600 in Durham. It serves 30 million clients and has $2.6 trillion in managed assets. And yet, she said, the company has had to adapt.

Fidelity aims to “be there for the moments that matter in our customers’ lives,” she said, “but we deliver that

through our associates.” So, she added, “that has really caused us to rethink the employee experience, making sure that we help them thrive inside and outside” the office.

As part of that effort, Fidelity tries to create choices for its employees, including options for working from home, collaborative workspaces and quiet spaces.

“So, if I’m working on something where I need to be heads down, then maybe I’m at home. If I need to be really creative and innovative, maybe I go to one of our collaborative spaces because I get energy from the people around me,” she said.

They also offer family care, shortterm leave, long-term leave and emergency child care. All of it, Hough said, feeds into the idea that workers have a work-provided safety net when life, as it is known to do, gets more complicated.

Companies have spent time and money thinking about these things, she said, but there are some challenges.

“It is not a one-size-fits-all balance,” Allen said. “People like to think of productivity as a flat line, a linear relationship, and you need to be at the same level, or you should be fired.

But, in my experience [productivity] is more of a sine curve (a continuous wave). There are times when people are going through tough periods, they have personal issues or they are overworked, and does that mean you should fire them because they are going through a valley? If you appreciate them when they are at their peak, then you have to work with them when they are going through the troughs, too.”

Comprised of two historic warehouses joined by a landscaped courtyard, Brightleaf Square was among the first of downtown Durham attractions to undergo revitalization in the early 1980’s. During this time, the buildings were converted into mixed-use spaces, which today are occupied by independent and locally-owned retailers, restaurants and professional offices.

Between 1900 and 1904, the American Tobacco Company built the Watts and Yuille warehouses for storing, aging and fermenting tobacco. The warehouses were used for this function until 1970 and sold to private developers in 1980.

After a year of construction, Brightleaf Square opened with retail, restaurant and office spaces.

The courtyard hosts many local events, including a summer concert series and, new in 2019, the Durham Roots Farmers’ Market on Saturday mornings, April through November. Visitors can stroll through the courtyard as they discover uncommon finds, dine at one-of-a-kind restaurants and delight in the ambiance of Durham’s past and future.

EDUCATION GLOSSARY Charter School

Supported by public financing and authorized by the State Board of Education, charters are exempt from many standard public school administration regulations. Admission is via lottery rather than neighborhood. Charter schools set their own curriculum and hire their own instructors, of whom 50% must be licensed. Charter schools may be run by independent parent boards, nonprofit organizations or for-profit education service firms.

Charter students take North Carolina standardized End of Grade/End of Course tests and participate in the NC School Report Card program.

Common Core is a set of national grade-level goals for math and language arts, such as the ability to multiply two-digit numbers or write a paragraph. Common Core does not apply to science, social studies or other subjects. State and local authorities build local curriculums to meet Common Core goals.

Generally, Common Core-based high school-level math classes compare to previous curriculums as: Math I: Equivalent to Algebra I, with a focus on linear and exponential equations.

Math II: Equivalent to Geometry, with continued algebra, quadratic equations and probability.

Math III: Equivalent to Algebra II, with logarithms, statistics and trigonometry.

Unlike math, English common core classes – generally, English I, II and III – teach four basic skills at increasingly complex levels each year: Reading: How students read and comprehend written materials.

Writing: Making logical arguments based on sound reasoning and relevant evidence.

Speaking/Listening: Evaluating and presenting increasingly complex information, ideas and evidence.

Language: Vocabulary and grammar.

End-Of-Grade (Eog) Testing/ Nc School Report Card

Standardized tests administered to all public school students, including those in charter schools, at the end of grades third through eighth.

High school students take End-of-Course (EOC) tests after Math I, Biology and English II. Scores measure students’ readiness for advancement and are compiled into the NC School Report Card system, which assigns numerical and letter grades to schools based on achievement and growth (improvement).

Independent (Private) Schools

Almost 5,000 students in Durham attend independent schools, with close to 1,200 in Orange County and about 180 in Chatham.

About two-thirds of North Carolina’s independent

schools have a religious affiliation. Independent in finance and governance, these schools may follow any curriculum, set their own graduation standards, and are not required to participate in North Carolina standardized testing (EOGs) or the NC School Report Card program. They have the freedom to serve their distinct missions through their own philosophies, values and approaches to teaching. All must test third-, sixth-, ninthand 11th-graders using nationally recognized standardized tests. Depending on family income, some independent school students may be eligible for state-subsidized voucher awards called Opportunity Scholarships.

Magnet School

Public, lottery application-based schools that aren’t associated with any particular neighborhood and may focus on unique academic curriculums or programs, such as language immersion, Montessori, international baccalaureate, STEM or the arts. Magnet schools take EOGs and participate in the NC School Report Card service.

Montessori

A style of teaching, named after the Italian educator Maria Montessori, in which children teach themselves and have more control over their time and choice of topics they can explore.

Classrooms are often composed of children of many ages and grades.

Transitional Kindergarten

Meant for 4- to 5-year-olds as a transition from a preschool or day care setting to an elementary school classroom. It is often a child’s first experience in a school and offers extra time for a child to develop intellectually, socially and emotionally before elementary school.

E-Learning Program

Online learning meant to provide opportunities for accelerated high school and middle school students, offer learning alternatives and increase DPS high school graduation rates. The main purpose of e-learning is to provide students with class options that are not available in school.

These courses can be utilized in school computer labs, remote locations and at home.

Individualized Education Program (IEP)

Special education programs created for children with disabilities to help them make “reasonable progress” in school, including passing from grade to grade.

Educationally Disadvantaged Students

Students who are at risk based on socioeconomic or educational background.

STEM

Programs with core focuses in science, technology, engineering and mathematics to prepare students for college and other upperlevel studies in these fields.

How can folks in the community easily learn more about ACEs and the trauma caused by them, and how can we stop ACEs in our community as individuals? The ACEs Task Force, working with Duke Division of Community Health and other partner organizations, has shown the movie Resilience: The Biology of Stress and the Science of Hope, with a followup, facilitated discussion, about 50 times all around Durham. Thousands of our residents and staff in our health, social services and educational organizations have seen the movie in the last 18 months.

Knowledge about ACEs and the resources available in the community along with parent education and well-child screenings during doctor visits are the best approaches to reduce the impact of ACEs.

Anything else you’d like to add about ACEs or other early childhood health care initiatives within Healthy Durham 20/20? We are currently piloting ACEs well-child screenings with the Duke North Roxboro Pediatric Clinic and ACEs screenings of pregnant women at the Durham County Department of Public Health.

Research Triangle Park (RTP), nearly all of which is in Durham County, is home to global pharmaceutical companies such as GlaxoSmithKline and Pharm-Olam. Drug giant Merck has a plant in north Durham, and IQVIA, one of the largest providers of biopharmaceutical services in the world, also calls Durham home.

or the 10th straight year, Durham Magazine commissioned a peer-to-peer survey of the local dental community – from endodontists to prosthodontists. The following listing is 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?”

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

T

he 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 Durham list is based on detailed evaluations of dentists and professionals by their peers. The complete database is available at usatopdentists.com. topDentists management has more than 50 years experience compiling peer-review referral guides in the dental, medical and legal fields.

STAY GOLDEN T Photo by Beth Mann

here are many reasons why you might consider our area as you search for retirement options: our wellrounded quality of life, mild climate, renowned dining, robust arts scene, continuing education programs and top-rated health care are just a few. This year, the Durham and Raleigh area was recognized by U.S. News & World Report as the No. 28 best place to retire in the country. Last year, it was named one of the 10 best places to retire in the South. And in 2017, Durham was recognized by Condé Nast Traveler Editor Mark Ellwood 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.

When I was a kid being recruited for college ball, I wanted to hear from the players who knew what it was like after you walked through the door. Before we made our move, we talked to the people who live here, and fell in love with this wide-open, never pretentious community. I’d coach you to talk to the people who know.
