bullocks is good, its off of hillsborough, wont really see it on there, go on that road where Eckerd's is.
Also great burgers and burger combos (including incredible shakes) at Cookout...on Hillborough St. in front of CVS.

Yeah, one good thing is that there's a lot of great food there. What's your g/f studying for grad school?

Hey, interesting. I didn't know you're also at Duke :) Not only that, but in Crowell quad too (I'm in Crowell G).

Whenever I come to Durham, I have to put on a bulletproof vest and look over my shoulder. My housemates and I went to a Durham Bulls game a couple of months ago and I think I was more scared walking around downtown there than I am in Baltimore.

Downtown Durham at night is pretty scary...

I took some classes at Durham Tech and Dominos wouldn't even deliver there...

LMFAO!!!!!!:laugh:

Yup, Durham Tech is east of the projects which is east of NC Central, definitely don't be there after the sun goes down.

Nowhere near as bad as Fayetteville, but definitely the worst area in a 75 mile radius.
