Durham
So, looks like we're moving to Durham, assuming all the inspections turn out fine. We considered staying in Raleigh, but we would have wanted to be close to downtown and probably couldn't have afforded it. The house we're (hopefully) buying is 1-2 miles away from all the good stuff in downtown Durham, so we can walk on a nice day (unlike today, as we're buried in snow -- c'mon. snow in march? what the hell?). The house is over 100 years old and is part of the historical society, so I assume we'll be bumping into the ghosts of old dead Durham people all the time. Hey, we need to make some friends here anyway.
Now, the only problem is finding good pizza in Durham. Yeah, we've been to Satisfaction a couple times and Pop's Restaurant was good (although the atmosphere is a little fancy-schmancy for my taste in pizza parlors). We love Lynnwood Grill and Lilly's in Raleigh, but we haven't found anything like that in Durham. In Tallahassee, our favorite pizza place was Decent Pizza, so that's pretty much what we're looking for. Cool, grungy atmosphere. Overwhelming smell of pizza ovens. Unnecessarily loud indie music. Ironic posters of breakfast specials on the walls. Why is that so hard to find here?
