Re: “Seeing Durham through the bottom of a glass”
An extensive piece on South Durham is in our Eats guide. Also, Kat Benson, the author of the piece in the Durham Finder about places for families—all over the county—lives in South Durham.
Re: “Seeing Durham through the bottom of a glass”
I'm going to have to agree with Fritx, not putting Tyler's in there is a big mistake. Tyler's came in well before most of those places and helped pioneer craft beer in the triangle. They were downtown before it was cool.
Re: “Seeing Durham through the bottom of a glass”
There is more to Durham than just downtown, how about doing a feature on South Durham? Lots going on there too!~
Re: “Seeing Durham through the bottom of a glass”
Tylers Taproom should be on there
Re: “Foraging for wild edible mushrooms in North Carolina”
I live in Western NC, about 40 miles NE of Ahseville, at about 4,000 elevation. I have some oak logs that were inoculated with shitake spores about 5 years ago, but have never produced. Suddenly (it's early May, been very wet and cool), my logs are covered with what look like shitakes. Are there wild poisonous mushrooms from this area that may have taken over my logs, which look like shitakes? I am itching to gather these, but am wondering if it's possible for the spores to stay dormant this long. Sure don't want to eat anything that I shouldn't.

Re: “Sustenance and survival: the story of Yamazushi”
If Yamazushi goes vegan, I will never set foot in the place. The whole article had me very, very interested... until reading that one line. I'm all for a fine dining experience, and it sounds like a wonderful date. But if it's vegan, count me out. Japanese food without some sort of meat is not Japanese food.
Re: “Party of eight”
My mother wasn't able to have kids after her second, me being the first so she chose adoption agencies chicago il, and the adopted siblings are as much of my family as I am, and Its great!
Re: “The GOP's free-market reforms are aimed at public education”
Well, Now we know we have a wealthy landowner developer citing the education statistics. I could have sworn the PKS-NC stood for the Piedmont Kennel Society of NC.....I don't need any statistics now!
Re: “The GOP's free-market reforms are aimed at public education”
Note to Page McCullough: Sorry, I forgot. With the statistics cited by Mr. Price, and if the studies do exist, could you ask him to inform us if the researcher(s) used a null hypothesis and if the researchers were successful in rejecting the null hypothesis. Thank you.
Re: “The GOP's free-market reforms are aimed at public education”
Note to Page McCullough: When you get those statistics and methodologies from Mr. Price, could you forward me a copy? If he is kind enough to include references, whether this is a longitudinal study or one of control groups, and whether the analysis, if comparable, is significant at the p = ..05 or .01 levels, could you send that along too? Thank you.

Be there March 6, 4pm. You owe it to yourself, your family, your children and society if you desire to live in a society in North Carolina and maintain a mere minimum of freedoms from government intrusion and exclusion in your life. Don"t fool yourself that you will be taken care of with the various social systems in place. They are vanishing daily in our State. I will be there, ready to STAND TALL.. We should all be fortunate William Barber has 20/20 vision in these matters. Thank you, Dr. Barber...
Re: “The populist plea bargain of Rush”
Yes, I also made a typing error (I usually do)...hopefully you have more to do then worry yourself about it.
Re: “The populist plea bargain of Rush”
You can only fixate a small mistake the rather than the context of the article.....Please, your pubescent comments does not make you of high intellect. Picking out negatives in order to self-glorify yourself…lame.

Re: “The week in music: May 1-8, 2013”
Read the Dylan review carefully. Heard him 3X in last 10 yrs. and his voice is unintelligble! He's completely overwhelmed by the volume of his band. Why is that? BTW-no bigger fan than me. 1st heard Blowin' in the Wind on a jukebox in Oct. '63, and have admired and appreciated him ever since. But pay $70. to not understand what song he's singing? Please.
Re: “Seeing Durham through the bottom of a glass”
Not that it matters, but surely you know that Tyler's is a fairly recent addition to downtown (like all of the American Tobacco complex)? Durham has been "cool" long before Tyler's decided to open an outpost downtown. Futhermore, the "Durham Find Your Cool" sloganeering will forever piss me off.
