June/July 2018 – The Best of Durham Issue
With graduations behind us and school out, I know most of you are looking to relax. But, let me challenge you to do one more thing: Make a summer bucket list. I do this every year; it gives me motivation to get out and explore the city, repeating some of my favorite adventures and embarking …
May 2018 – Our 6th Annual Women’s Issue
On International Women’s Day, I started my morning from a very non-triumphant place, battling Highway 147 traffic, running late – again – because my four-month-old was up half the night with a cold. Because I had to take the recycling bin out. Because I needed to brew a good cup of coffee to keep me …
April 2018 – Our Home & Garden Issue
We closed on our first home at the end of October. Ah, the joys of homeownership. (If I had a nickel for every time I’ve heard that …) It’s no surprise that we had a few tasks to tackle. Hardware stores became our second homes as we searched for tools we never needed before, floodlights, …
February/March 2018 – Our 10th Anniversary Issue
A decade ago, the first issue of Durham Magazine rolled off the presses with a promise on this same page, and with a distinctly younger picture of me: “We are committed to making a positive contribution to our city, we will honestly tell the stories and concerns of our neighbors, we will become an integral, …

December/January 2018 – The Holiday Issue
Anybody else heading into the holidays feeling as frantic as I do? Oh, you, too? Trying to live up to the standards we see on Pinterest and commercials on top of balancing jobs, family, friends and all the other tasks that come along – like dealing with a plumbing problem in your new home – …
October/November 2017
During our conversation with three of the mayoral candidates (see page 38) we probed a little bit about what policy differences exist among them that voters might consider before making their decision. I got the sense that policies, important as they are, are less important to these three candidates than what each of them continually …
Our 8th Annual Food & Drink Issue – September 2017
“Ask a resident to name their favorite dish or drink in the Bull City. You’ll never get a simple answer. In fact, ask yourself. I did, and I immediately started flipping through copious mental notes and weighing one dish against another. The fact is that it is nearly impossible to name a single favorite. We …

August 2017
You may notice some differences in our August 2017 issue. We’ve been busy all summer long designing a new look for our magazines, one that we believe is reflective of our city-on-the-rise. We’ve also added some departments – like our new parenting section and Star Power interviews with celebrities who will soon be heading to …
The Best of Durham Issue – June/July 2017
For seven years, we’ve been asking our readers to share their go-to restaurant for date night, which hotels they recommend for out-of-towners, the top bars for grabbing a cocktail and even where they get their car washed or who they trust to help them buy or sell a house. In the summer, we share the …
