Good news

Hooray! Looking at the Duke Park house tomorrow.

Duke Park, perhaps?

Tonight we at burgers at Dane's Place, and on the recommendation of the bartender I drank a Black Chocolate Stout by Brooklyn Brewery (10% alcohol), so then I felt a little tipsy. We had fun discussing the future and listening to David Bowie and the Pixies.

Now we are excited about a (different) house which Clinton found on Realtor.com today. It's in the Duke Park neighborhood. After burgers this evening, Clinton drove us there. (Thank goodness!) It was dark outside, but we didn't care: It's the cutest house ever! Small and wooded and brick, just like we want! We e-mailed Wendy right away. Let's hope we can see it ASAP!

Small setback

Yesterday we learned some things about the house we're interested in which are not so positive. We will probably not be making an offer on it. I remain hopeful about this process. We are open to looking at other houses, and we still want to live downtown! The adventure continues...

Where is the Cleveland-Holloway District?

The Cleveland-Holloway District is one of the coolest downtown Durham neighborhoods. It's in walking distance to practically everything, including the YMCA, Durham Farmer's Market, Carolina Theater, Main Public Library and tons of great restaurants! Cleveland-Holloway is the heart of the downtown neighborhood revitalization initiative.

In case you don't know where it is, check out this Google map. The blue lines indicate the borders of the District. The flag labeled "F" is the house we're interested in.
