A statue on Duke’s East Campus, the Sower. I took this picture a few months ago, long before any of the current mess surrounding Duke’s Lacrosse team. You can’t quite see the infamous house in the background, but 610 Buchanan is only two blocks north.
One thing I like about living in Durham is that the community is so sophisticated that it doesn’t wait for the local media to tell us what’s going on, what’s relevant, and what matters in current events. My favorite sections of the local newspapers are the Herald Sun’s letters to the editor and the News and Observer’s Op-Ed page. A neighbor and Duke professor Orin Starn wrote this great Op-Ed piece that’s sure not to sit well with most Dukies and Duke alum.
