Big Truck Day 2016

Big Truck Day 2016

Each year, the city of Durham, NC pulls all of the large equipment it owns out into the mall parking lot, and lets little kids climb up into them. Call it community outreach, or morale building, whatever it is, I love it. All these great big burly men, gently and gingerly putting kids up in the drivers seats of these machines, then showing them where the horn button is. Taxes well spent on this day.

chess, checkers or putt putt, it’s all seventified at the Duke Towers – thanks Rebecca for treating us.

Duke Towers

If you’ve ever driven by the Duke Towers, you might find the architecture a bit brutal. I know it has zero curb appeal for me…but behold! On the inside, it’s 1971 (or thereabouts) forever…and pretty darn pleasant of a spring day…shuffleboard, anyone?
