Downtown in Durham

I've been doing some computer work from the comfortable confines of the Blue Coffee Cafe in downtown Durham.  Downtown is so easy by bike.  Its a short ride from Duke campus and there are no parking worries.  Blue Coffee has free wireless and great coffee which makes for a fine Monday morning.  And when I leave I always ride around first.  You can see more of a city in 20 minutes on a bike than you can see in 2 hours in a car (plus no one thinks you are cruising the streets looking for drugs!)  Who knows?  I might just see that perfect house that might pull us out of the periphery into the heart of the city.

Downtown also allows you to experience the best of Durham.  At the cafe there are lawyers, jurors on break, folks from Self Help, folks needing self help, and a mish-mash of interesting folks just enjoying pulse of the city.  Durham is friendly, convenient and fascinating.  And best enjoyed on two wheels.
