US News has issued it's own Best Places, and once again, Durham NC has made the list in the Top 10.

"Once a tobacco town, Durham, N.C., has evolved into a world-class center of all things advanced. This city of 206,000, located halfway between the Atlantic coast and the Great Smoky Mountains is called the "City of Medicine" because of its expansive healthcare industry. And although widely known as the home of prestigious Duke University, it's also a thriving technology hub. At the same time, Durham's mild climate allows residents to get out and explore the region's abundant outdoor attractions. Consider hiking one of the many distinct trails and greenways or heading over to the Durham Bulls Athletic Park for an afternoon baseball game"

I saw this today and couldn't help but post it. As a Duke fan, nothing makes me happier than making furn of or enjoying the misery of Tarheel fans, however, this particular graphic was sent to me by a UNC fan. In case you're reading this and are not a college basketball fan, the starting point guard for UNC, Ty Lawson, missed the ACC Tournament and the first game of the NCAA tournament with a hurt big toe. So with that in mind, some enterprising individual came up with this new logo for the UNC Tarheels

Regardless, I wish the Tarheels good luck in the tournament, however, I'll be pulling for my DUKE Blue Devils!

Durham Performing Arts Center: SunTrust Broadway Series presents "Rent"

The first show in the SunTrust Broadway Series at the new Durham Performing Arts Center opens next week, January 20th, with the touring company production of "Rent". Starring two of the original Broadway performers of "Rent", the show is almost as highly anticipated as the Durham Performing Arts Center has been itself.

The production of "Rent" runs from January 20-25. Tickets are still available and can be purchased online here. There will also be lottery tickets available on the day of the show for $20.00.

After the production of "Rent", the remaining season includes the touring companies of "The Color Purple", "Fiddler on the Roof", and "Legally Blonde: The Musical".
