It was good to be back in Durham, visiting the old stomping grounds. Some things haven't changed: James Joyce, Satisfactions, and Cosmic Cantina are all still there and still awesome. Duke's campus has changed a lot since I've last been there: the BC walkway is no longer industrial-looking, there's some huge building behind Perkins now, and the Physics & Bio-sci buildings have somehow merged. And the hospital just keeps on growing, making Erwin Road unrecognizable. I know this is terribly boring for non-Duke people.
Downtown Raleigh is starting to become a cool place, finally. There's all these new condos going up, and more cool bars and restaurants around. I randomly ran into an old friend while visiting the club where I used to bartend, and he showed me some of the new places around town.
All in all it was good to be back in North Carolina. But I won't be moving back there. Now it's off to Atlanta!
