WELCOME TO MY HOME

W

hether or not you’re staying in Durham long-term, I guarantee you’ll feel a sense of belonging in this city.

Let me explain: My first true Durham experience was visiting Sarah P. Duke Gardens with my boyfriend, a Durham native. What was an obvious choice for a date to him was an illuminating experience for me. The well-kept paths and stunning scenery found at every turn captivated me. There was a lot of thought and attention behind these beautifully manicured grounds. That is where I first started falling for Durham.

That theme of intention and deliberateness is found throughout the city, from the new opportunities for downtown living and recreation to our civic mindedness – we are considerate of the well-being of all Durhamites. (There are scores of organizations dedicated to providing for those less fortunate or marginalized. Visit thevolunteercenter.org if you would like to become involved.)

But my own plan never involved living in Durham – I had dreams of moving to New York City to write for publications at Hearst or Condé Nast after graduation. Fortunately for me, I

landed both a part-time job on the copy desk of a local newspaper and an editorial internship at this magazine. I spent the summer grabbing pints of locally brewed beer at Fullsteam and Bull City Burger & Brewery, purchasing bouquets from Bluebird Meadows at the Durham Farmers’ Market on Saturday mornings and attending food truck rodeos while also reporting on our vibrant city that was undergoing so many changes at every turn.

It was, and is, exhilarating. When presented with the opportunity to continue at Durham Magazine as a full-time editorial assistant just a few months later, I didn’t hesitate.

The notion of moving elsewhere has occurred to me from time to time – after all, I’ve spent the majority of my life in North Carolina, and one does wonder what it’s like elsewhere. But it’s a very brief thought. On top of the good weather, affordable cost of living, and easy access to both gorgeous beaches and mountains, I live in a city very much on the rise. Every time you turn around, a new restaurant opens, a brilliant Broadway show or band comes through town or a wonderful food festival is taking place. I don’t need the concrete jungle of NYC to live among dreamers.

ALL ABOUT THE BEEF

What separates a first-rate burger from the rest of the herd? We asked our winners.

“We source free-range, Black Angus, grass-fed beef from New Zealand, a country well known for sustainable farming and humanely treating their animals. [The] benefits include: leaner and lower in fat than grain-fed; fewer calories; higher in omega-3 and vitamin E; tender and juicy with amazing flavor! In addition, all our beef arrives fresh-chilled (never frozen), and we grind and blend three cuts daily (rib eye, brisket and chuck), form by hand and serve on local, fresh-baked buns.”

– Dan Brantingham, Burger Bach

“Use a good blend of beef and fat, coarsely ground and loosely packed into 4- to 6-ounce patties. I personally prefer the burger cooked on a hot (400- to 500-degree) griddle or skillet. Sear it until crispy, two to three minutes on each side, leaving the center a juicy medium to mediumrare. Season with a little salt and pepper, and top with your favorite cheese. The bun is also important; I like my buns buttered and toasted on the griddle.”– Brian Bottger, OnlyBurger

“A thick burger where the flavors and toppings are balanced. The quality of the meat and preparation are all in play. We have always been about great, pasture-raised beef patties topped with flavors that create a great culinary experience.

Our burgers are ground in-house daily from North Carolina beef. We make everything from the bun to the barbecue sauce, the mustard and the mayo.”

– Seth Gross, Bull City Burger and Brewery “[Our burger is] a burger lover’s burger. It’s big and juicy and juicy and big. We don’t skimp on the details. The Black Angus beef we use is always fresh, never frozen.

We use local, fresh-baked bread, load on the toppings and use fresh ingredients. We promise you will never leave saying, ‘I’m still hungry.’” – Dain Phelan, Dain’s Place

Bullock’s is still serving quality barbecue, in spite of a fire last year When a mechanical failure let a fire get out of control in his restaurant in April 2016, there may have been some resulting drama, but you wouldn’t know it by talking to Tommy Bullock. The son of the couple who started Bullock’s BarB-Cue 65 years ago, he grew up working the counter after school and has developed a lifetime of perspective. Maybe he sees difficulty as part of the industry. “It’s about hard work, perseverance,” Tommy says. “Back [in the 1950s], rent was $5 a week, and there were many weeks when my parents did not have that $5.”

Bullock’s kept chugging along, and in 1970, the family built the restaurant that stands today. The barbecue is excellent, but don’t forget the 20 sides offered daily. Tommy mentions stewed apples, deviled eggs, collard greens, baked beans, fruit salad, macaroni salad and fresh cooked corn. All of them are a testament not only to Tommy but also to what seems to be a kitchen full of reincarnated Southern grandmothers. If there has ever been a great cook in your family, something at Bullock’s will remind you of them.

With so many menu items, it’s probably not surprising that eventually a stove wound up in flames. “I worked around the clock to get this restaurant open,” Tommy says, “so we could serve our customers and get our employees back to work.”

Three weeks later, Bullock’s was back. Tommy reflects on the time they were closed as “this fast, furious thing,” just a crazy blip in the long life of his family’s restaurant, a quick interruption in the daily making of slow, homestyle, feel-good meals for everyone who walks in. – Virginia Robinson

BOTTLING SUCCESS It was a joke around The Glass Jug for awhile. “When people would come in,” explains co-owner Katy Creech, “they’d say, ‘Oh, this is cool. You work here? This is your place? So, you like, drink beer?’ ...

They mean nothing by it, and I’m not easily offended, but it’s been so nice to see that at least here, people have come to realize that I do this for a living. This is my career – I know about it.”

Katy does all the ordering for the south Durham bottle shop.

She puts together events like tap takeovers and tastings, which happen at least once or twice a week. She hosts a monthly beer club, JUGs (Just Us Gals), which is a way for women who love craft beer to meet one another, taste a few good beers and learn more about different styles. Katy says it’s encouraging to see the involvement of women in craft beer continue to grow. “If I was going to look at the two biggest changes and transformations,” Katy says, “things I hadn’t really counted on, I would say one

16 DURHAM MAGAZINE VISITORS & RELOCATION GUIDE 2017

would be the true growth of community here and specifically the involvement of women in our community.”

Katy and her husband, Chris, who both learned the art of homebrewing while in college at UNC, toyed with the idea of leaving their respective marketing jobs to start a brewery, as many of the friends they had met through their beer-making hobby had already done. “Ultimately we decided that our little neck of the woods needed a meeting place,” Katy says. “It needed someplace to go and get a beer after work, if you just wanted to hang out somewhere local with people you know and have somewhere close to home to get a six-pack of something really good. This gave us the ability to do both and also to showcase a lot of our friends’ beers.”

What Katy didn’t foresee was how this little Greenwood Commons store would play an instrumental part in the lives of their neighbors. “It’s become this hub of community,” Katy says. “I just walk around here every day and see so much love. There are people celebrating ... growing together, and it’s really cool to be a part of something

MAKING MOVES Recently, the Durham-Chapel Hill metro area was ranked No. 11 on Realtor.com’s 2017 Housing Forecast of the top 100 metropolitan areas – so you know you’ve come to a great city. But relocation can be overwhelming, starting with figuring out where to live. We asked Julia Tucker – president of the Durham Regional Association of Realtors (durhamrealtors.org), which represents more than 1,000 Realtors and associate members in the Triangle – to give us an overview of the local market.  by Chantal Allam |  by Briana Brough

For newcomers, how would you describe our current real estate market? And how has it changed over the last few years?

The current market is strong. It’s still a buyers’ market in most of the Triangle, but is shifting to a sellers’ market in some areas, like downtown Durham. The last few years have been rebuilding and strengthening the market. The increase in new construction has been a huge boost.

20 DURHAM MAGAZINE VISITORS & RELOCATION GUIDE 2017

Why is the market so strong?

The strength of our market has to do with employment, amenities and lifestyle. Research Triangle Park (RTP) is a big employer as are all the area hospitals and universities. With so many buyers working from home these days, it really opens up location opportunities because they no longer have to be close to an office.

BUYING A HOME Charlie Witzleben was intimately involved in the construction and design of his downtown condo unit at Church+Main. Owners in this building all used the same vendors, but Charlie’s selections from the cabinet shop stood out for their minimalism. “I wanted a modern kitchen,” he says.

Amenities and lifestyle are also high on buyers list of requirements. Our proximity to the beach and the mountains makes [Durham] a huge draw as does the international airport.

Planned neighborhoods with pools, tennis and walking trails are especially sought after.

Groups like the Downtown Durham Inc., the Greater Durham Chamber of Commerce and the Durham Convention and Visitors Bureau have long worked to bring employment, housing and entertainment opportunities. The growth shows that their efforts have really been effective – not just in Durham but also in the surrounding towns.

What’s the average turnaround time on the market right now?

It is 37 days from listing to contract and 30 to 60 days from contract to close.

What’s your advice to someone just moving to this area? Rent first, or buy?

Many newcomers rent for a short time until they are certain of the area and where they want to invest, and then they purchase once they find a comfortable fit. Home ownership is the first step to financial freedom; seldom is renting financially rewarding, especially when the rentals are limited and rents are rising.

If they choose to jump in and buy, where do they start?

Finding a great buyers’ agent is the first step and then getting qualified for a mortgage is next.

What are the “hot” neighborhoods at the moment, and which ones are “up-andcoming”?

Durham as a whole has a really hot market.

Some of the old neighborhoods are hot again like Watts Hospital-Hillandale, Trinity Park and Duke Park. Forest Hills and Hope Valley are very desirable, and Lakewood is up-and-coming as well. These neighborhoods are very convenient to the Durham Freeway and I-85/I-40. They have lovely established trees, great walkability, character, charm and diversity.

Charity and Jeff Strang wanted a house that their children, Miriam, 6, and Luke, 3, could grow into. They couldn’t find exactly what they were looking for, so instead, they took a wooded plot of land in Duke Forest and built a modernist home with the help of architecture firm BuildSense.

What are people buying? How would you describe the styles of home here, and what’s the average price of a home and square footage?

Buyers are focusing on smaller square footages and more efficient designs. Condos are selling before ground is broken and at very high prices per square foot. Quality over quantity. Location verses more square footage, and efficiency is very

BUYING A HOME ABOVE Lyn Gagnon and Steve Kaiser’s south Durham home is immediately welcoming: low lighting highlights dark hardwood floors and earth-toned decor to create a cocoon of warmth. RIGHT Built in 1891, this Trinity Park abode was a fixer-upper when owners Mike Schram and Barbara Griesing bought it. Known to historians as the Bassett House for its former resident John Spencer Bassett, an outspoken history professor, it was one of five original faculty houses for Trinity College.

26 DURHAM MAGAZINE VISITORS & RELOCATION GUIDE 2017

Once you’ve moved here, what’s the best way to get settled and make Durham feel like home?

Put yourself out there … enjoy the outdoor activities, join a newcomers group, go to one of the fabulous farmers’ markets and introduce yourself to someone. Hang out with your Realtor – Realtors are typically

extroverts and have great connections!

Another aspect that makes the Triangle special is the locally owned businesses. This is especially true in Durham. The restaurants, bars, food trucks, art galleries, music venues are prolific and really good quality. There is always more to do than anyone can manage on any given weekend!

What are some of the quirks of living in the South compared to other parts of the States? Specifically, what kind of lifestyle does Durham offer as a city?

Durham is so full of culture; it is a “foodie” town – great restaurants with amazing, welcoming atmospheres. Whether you are [interested in performing arts] or are a microbrewery fan, Durham has it all! Sitting outside on Tobacco Road Sports Cafe’s patio listening to music, cheering on the Durham Bulls or ice skating when the weather turns colder – it is all right here in downtown.

Tips on choosing the right Realtor?

Start with a Realtor, [specifically]. A Realtor is a licensed agent who is a member of the local, state and national Association of Realtors. The reason that these affiliations are important is that we are bound by the Realtor Code of Ethics, which hold us to a higher standard that in turn protects the client.

It is normal to interview several Realtors and choose the one that you relate to best.

Most Realtors have a bio, testimonials and lists of their recent closings. Review all those closely and by all means listen to your friends and coworkers for their recommendations. A recommendation from a close friend of a Realtor with whom they had a great experience and good representation is a good place to start!

Experience and knowledge of the market place is very important. However, a Realtor who is service oriented and has the buyers’ best interest at heart is what all buyers should look for.

and children. It’s refreshing to see children playing together in the neighborhood. [I chose to live here because of its] proximity to Duke and downtown Durham.

Why? It’s a lifestyle neighborhood with an entertaining country club, golf course, pool and tennis. … A wonderful community with great people along with young families

What’s your best advice for someone tackling the Durham market today? Get preapproved – not pre-qualified – and keep the pre-approval letter up to date.

Bill Stevenson, Keller Williams Where did you choose to purchase?

Woodcroft Why? Back [in 1994] it seemed that anybody who could afford it would live in Chapel Hill, and the rest of us huddled as closely as possible to the border, hoping to bask in the warm Chapel Hill glow. My how things have changed! Now central Durham is definitely the hot spot and southern Durham is emerging as the new hipster enclave since downtown has gotten pricey. We feel very fortunate to have landed in Woodcroft, possibly the hottest neighborhood in town right now.”

What’s your best advice for someone tackling the Durham market today?

Avoid the huge national websites. They are just too inaccurate, and you don’t have time to waste. Use something hyper-local like locationdurham.com (which happens to be my website, but there are many others).

Courtney James, Urban Durham Realty Where did you choose to purchase?

Forest Hills Why? Though we’ve moved three times, I’ve never left my home neighborhood of Forest Hills. For me, it offers the perfect combination of a park setting with great proximity to all the exciting things happening downtown.

What’s your best advice for someone tackling the Durham market today?

It’s probably obvious that I would recommend establishing a relationship with a knowledgeable agent, but it’s critically important in an intense market like this one. An agent should be actively working on your behalf to find homes coming on the market and should also be able to educate you regarding offer terms, as they tend to be a moving target these days.

Just north of the Durham-Person county line, in one of three hoop houses at Lil’ Farm, farmer George O’Neal (right) and his assistant Ron Quattlebaum coax golden beets from a small plot of soil that George has cultivated over the years, layering organic matter atop the useless clay left in this region after decades of tobacco growing and overgrazing. The revitalization is starting to pay off. “We’re just hitting a stride,” George says. “It gets better every year.”

TRADITIONAL TECHNIQUE Chef Josh DeCarolis, who has lived in the area for 10 years, headed up the kitchen at renowned downtown restaurant Mateo since its beginnings in 2012 before opening Italian trattoria Mothers & Sons with Chef Matthew Kelly in June 2016.

During its first week, Josh estimates that the restaurant went through about 100 pounds of pasta, maybe even a bit more. “Each day, I rolled probably 15 pounds,” he says.

PRIDE AND PROGRESS After a long application process and nationwide search, the Durham Police Department found its new chief in the spring of 2016: Cerelyn “C.J.” Davis, a native North Carolinian, was born at Fort Bragg to “a very big family, a very close military family,” she says. When her father retired, the family packed up and moved to Atlanta, where she went to high school and eventually decided to go into law enforcement. After a 30-year career with the Atlanta Police Department, Chief Davis, 56, the mother of an adult daughter [Chaun] living in Brooklyn and grandmother to two, was ready for a new challenge.

FOSTER’S MARKET The blend of sweet and hot peppers in Sara Foster’s seven-pepper jelly is a family recipe, one you can use in plenty of ways, from glazing a favorite cut of meat to taking cheese and crackers to the next level.

DOUBLE M BAKE SHOP Though Mary Moyer graduated with a degree in culinary arts, she then started toying with granola recipes – something she didn’t learn in school. Folks were impressed, and her business was born. Nut butters – sunflower, almond and peanut – were ground as ingredients for the granolas, so they became a natural second product.

THE PARLOUR Whether they’re making timeless flavors like chocolate or a Southern-inspired seasonal favorite (hello, sweet potato!), coowners Yoni and Vanessa Mazuz craft each batch with the same passion they had several years ago when they made ice cream at home to share with friends.

DURHAM DISTILLERY If you’re nuts about chocolate, then we have a treat for you. Our local gin distillery also offers three varieties of “Damn Fine Liqueurs” – coffee, mocha and this option, chocolate. Raleigh’s Videri Chocolate Factory supplies the dark chocolate (more than 26 pounds go into each batch), which is blended with cream, turbinado sugar and Madagascar vanilla. We prefer ours over ice cream, but add it to any dessert or dessert cocktail, or simply enjoy over ice!

COUNTER CULTURE COFFEE Drinking local isn’t as straightforward as eating local. “The reality is, there’s no local coffee in the United States,” says Brett Smith, president of Counter Culture, whose headquarters are in Durham. “This isn’t a product until we do something to it,” he says of roasting, which the company does to the tune of 40,000 pounds per week, including limited-edition offerings and a special holiday coffee.

BULL CITY BURGER & BREWERY Eating a Bull City burger that is comprised of 100 percent pasture-raised, ground-in-house-daily, North Carolina beef is almost a rite of passage for new Durhamites. (Go, now, if you haven’t yet.)

Like most everything else on the menu, nearly all the sauces are house-made (ketchup is the exception). Many of them incorporate the brewry’s beer, like the Kick of the Bull spicy mustard. “It’ll clear your sinuses for sure,” owner Seth Gross says.

For the best of the ’wurst, CEOs Tina Prevatte and Jennifer Curtis source meat from local, pasture-raised livestock producers committed to the humane treatment of animals. To keep the hand-tied sausages from splitting their natural casings during cooking, the company recommends avoiding high heat, preferably by letting them simmer in a nice pot of your favorite beer.

THE MAD POPPER Next time you host a movie night, you’re going to want to have options from The Mad Popper on hand. Flavors range from traditional butter and caramel to jalapeño cheddar and even fruity combos. Go ahead and purchase the gallon-sized Night-In Tin to get a discount on refills!

News Bites

New York Post named Durham the foodie capital of the South in June, touting our diverse food landscape that includes “regional favorites like biscuits and barbecue to taste bud challengers such as beef tendon crackers and black garlic ice cream.”

The article, written by Jennifer Ceaser, mentioned Scratch, Parker & Otis, Counter Culture Coffee, Pizzeria Toro, The Pit, The Nasher Cafe, Mateo, Counting House, Dashi and The Durham Hotel as spots to hit while visiting. These delicious dining establishments and more speak to the sentiment. Here’s extra reason for the buzz: Blue Ribbon Barista Lem Butler, who has worked with Counter Culture Coffee in Durham since 2007, won first place in the U.S. Barista Championship at the US Coffee Championships in Atlanta this spring.

He is now the most decorated barista WINNER in the competition’s history, having previously won five regional titles.

PERFORMING ARTS

DURHAM PERFORMING ARTS CENTER Commonly called DPAC (pronounced Dee-Pack), the largest of our city’s entertainment venues was recently ranked No. 3 in attendance among reporting theater venues in the U.S. by Pollstar magazine. In August 2016, the theater hit an attendance milestone of 3 million guests since its first curtain show in 2008 and entertained more than half a million guests in its latest (2015/16) season.

The brightly lit glass structure in the heart of the city has become a symbol of the downtown renaissance. What goes on inside is just as luminous. Broadway hits such as “Mamma Mia!,” “Chicago” and “Finding Neverland” all are coming up this year.

Music stars The Beach Boys, Get the Led Out and Celtic Woman will perform in 2017, as will comedy legends Brian Regan, Jay Leno and Steve Martin & Martin Short.

ur area is home to impressive retailers, forward-looking startups and a host of social enterprises.

Durham was recently ranked as one of the top 10 cities in the nation for black entrepreneurs, for women entrepreneurs, for millennial entrepreneurs and for creative people in general. We’re the fifth-best city for small business taxes according to consumer service website Thumbtack, and we were recently recognized as the No. 4 metro for venture capital investment per capita by the Martin Prosperity Institute.

Here, some of our business owners share how they got their start.

JENNINGS BRODY At 16, Jennings started working as a gift wrapper at Williams-Sonoma. She adored it and worked her way up to interim store manager. She later spent years as a sales representative for another gourmet foods company before she hatched her first plan as an entrepreneur for her Peabody Place mainstay Parker & Otis, a bustling hub for both food and retail seven days a week.

At the time, she had zero experience as a shop owner. Even with a loan from Self-Help, she had to max out five credit cards for capital. Most of the marketing was word-of-mouth started at The Federal down the street, when she and her husband, Jonathan

“You need a lot of love. You have to believe in what you’re doing,” Jennings says. “You also need a sense of humor. And you need patience.”

TOM FERGUSON Rise Biscuits & Donuts When you’re in Tom’s kitchen, these are the rules: Be clean. Be on time. Go fast.

He’ll be teaching those tenets to many more North Carolina cooks in the coming months, as new franchise locations of his Rise Biscuits & Donuts pop up across the state.

In this new phase of his career, he’s able to watch, train and correct new staff before every store opening – and before they’re hit with the legendary Rise weekend breakfast rush. It’s “extremely rewarding,” he says.

Early in his own culinary career, Tom crisscrossed the country nine times, chasing down who might be willing to mentor him.

When it came time to work with partners to open his own businesses – highly successful ventures like OnlyBurger and Durham Catering Co. – “maybe it sounds a little cheesy,” he says, but he found that the most important elements are love and respect.

“If we’re respectful at each crossroads we come to ... maybe it slows down the progression a bit, but it feels better,” Tom says. “I can sleep at night that way.”

So far, they’ve turned down 40% of franchise applicants – Tom wants to make sure every Rise franchisee shares his ethos wholeheartedly.

He’s also working behind the scenes to make sure all locations are reliably tasty.

A special online portal for chefs ensures consistent recipes at every location. He’s

CITY OF MEDICINE Durham continuously lives up to its moniker

106 DURHAM MAGAZINE VISITORS & RELOCATION GUIDE 2017

D

urham has a reputation for grit: the Bull City, the town tobacco built, known for scrappy startups and good baseball. But it’s also renowned for its outstanding health care options.

Durham’s “City of Medicine” nickname has its origins in the creation of BC Headache Powder by two local pharmacists in 1906. Fast forward 111 years, and our physician-to-population ratio is more than four times the national average – Becker’s Hospital Review named this region No. 3 on its list of cities with the greatest access to quality health care. Nearly one in three Durhamites now works in a health-related field, and Smart Asset recently recognized Durham as the No. 2 city to hold a nursing occupation.

How did we earn stellar renown for healing? It helps that our hospitals are topnotch: Duke University Hospital took the No. 16 spot on the honor roll of U.S. News & World Report’s top hospitals in the nation for 2016-17. Duke University is the cornerstone of Durham’s health hub, operating Duke Children’s Hospital, Duke Regional Hospital, Duke

HEALTH CARE

Cancer Institute, Lenox Baker Children’s

and smaller practices across the city. The North Carolina Specialty Hospital also provides great care, while the Hospital

Durham Veterans Administration Hospital

draws more than 200,000 veterans from across 26 counties in central and eastern North Carolina.

We’re also respected for teaching and researching how to heal. Duke’s School of Medicine was ranked eighth in the nation by U.S. News & World Report this past year. Four of the school’s medical education specialty programs were also ranked in the top 10 nationwide: family medicine, internal medicine, geriatrics and women’s health.

Duke’s faculty roster boasts not one, but two Nobel Prize-winning researchers – biochemists Dr. Robert Lefkowitz and, most recently, Dr. Paul Modrich, who shared the 2015 Chemistry prize with UNC’s Aziz Sancar and Tomas Lindahl in the U.K. Dr. Shelley Hwang, chief of breast surgery at the Duke Cancer Institute, was recognized as one of TIME’s 100 most influential people in 2016. Duke Clinical Research Institute is the country’s largest and oldest academic clinical research organization.

There’s also the architectural gem of Duke Integrative Medicine, a beacon in the growing practice of holistic medicine.

Research Triangle Park, nearly all of which is located in Durham County, is home to global pharmaceutical companies such as GlaxoSmithKline and Bayer CropScience. Drug giant Merck has a plant in north Durham, and Quintiles, the largest provider of biopharmaceutical services in the world, also calls Durham home. And the city’s entrepreneurial spirit is advancing health care, led by the likes of upand-coming companies such as Validic, Forecast Health and TouchCare. Whether you’re working in the field or receiving treatment, Durham certainly is a city of medicine.

When “I” is replaced by “WE”, even “ILLNESS” becomes “WELLNESS.”

[For those new to the area,] I recommend first contacting their insurance provider to see which doctor or therapist is in their network. In-network providers are covered by their insurance company and there will be fewer out-of-pocket costs. Once a person has the list of in-network providers, check to see if [the physicians] have a website to learn more about them, and then finally check out the health grades given to that individual [practice] from the various website reviewers.

I find that the better providers consistently have good reviews on the different websites.”

James A. Smith, Carolina Partners in Mental Health Care, PLLC

Ask around for recommendations for health care providers. Practices that have been around for a while are often a good bet: they have done something right. [Before a first appointment,] think about the questions you have for your doctor and write them down. Don’t be shy about asking [questions]. If there is something on your mind, ask about it. You have to be comfortable talking with the doctor about your health.”

[Our specialty,] orthopaedics, is the area of medicine dealing with bones and the musculoskeletal system. If a patient has been to the ER or an outside urgent care, it’s helpful that they bring any x-ray films and medical notes to their appointment. If their insurance requires a referral they will need to call or see their primary care physician before they can be scheduled.

TOP DENTISTS

OUR TOP DENTISTS F or the seventh straight year, Durham Magazine commissioned a peer-to-peer survey of the local dental community – from endodontists to prosthodontists. The following rankings are the result.

Dentists were asked the telling question: “If you had a patient in need of a dentist, which dentist would you refer them to, other than yourself ?”

Durham is well-served by the dental community: Hundreds of dentists, specialists and support professionals have made this home, and the overall quality of dental care in our communities is second to none. What good dentist wouldn’t want to practice here?

A LITTLE BACKGROUND The Top Dentists list for Durham is the result of a rigorous evaluation process consisting of peerto-peer surveys of area dentists and professionals. This survey was conducted and managed by the nationally recognized third-party firm topDentists LLC of Augusta, Ga. The list is excerpted from the 2016 topDentistsTM list, a database that includes listings for dentists and specialists in the Durham area. The Durham list is based on detailed evaluations of dentists and professionals by their peers. The complete database is available at www.usatopdentists.com. topDentists management has more than 40 years experience compiling peer-review referral guides in the dental, medical and legal fields. Working from this experience, along with the input of several prominent dentists from throughout the United States, topDentists created a selection process that has earned the respect of the country’s leading dental professionals. For more information call (706) 3640853; write P.O. Box 970, Augusta, GA 30903; email info@usatopdentists.com or visit usatopdentists.com.

RETIREMENT Arlene and Dan Lutenegger and Vonda Feamster keep their bodies, minds and spirits strong at the Durham Center for Senior Life.

GOLDEN YEARS Our aging neighbors finds a second home at the Durham Center for Senior Life  by Dana Lange |  by Briana Brough

W

hen you enter the large brick building on Rigsbee Avenue, you feel as if you might have walked into a student union on a college campus rather than the Durham Center for Senior Life. Maybe because the “seniors” there are having as much fun as college students – minus the homework. Also, no tests.

From the upper level, you can look over the railing to a large common area filled with round tables, where friends are playing dominoes, working on puzzles, having a coffee and talking, or crocheting while they wait for their Muscle Pump class to start.

Vonda Feamster, a retired special education teacher, started coming to the center in 2008. “My friend asked me what I was going to do now that I was retired. I did not think I was ready to go to a DURHAM MAGAZINE VISITORS & RELOCATION GUIDE 2017 121

RETIREMENT

‘senior center.’ I was the caregiver to my husband and my mother, but I came and discovered that this is a place to take time for myself,” Vonda says. “I first tried belly dancing and really liked it.”

Vonda went from just taking the class to being a member of the Golden Genies, a group of women who take belly dancing out into the community. “We promote healthy aging at nursing homes and teach people to dance, which helps them stay well in both mind and body,” Vonda says. Dancing is not all that Vonda does at the center; after taking computer and other exercise classes, she has decided to lead a stitchery club this year. “It’s a great way to socialize while everyone works on their sewing, needlepoint or crocheting.”

THE 2017 DIRECTORY OF CONTINUING CARE, ASSISTED LIVING AND INDEPENDENT LIVING RETIREMENT COMMUNITIES There are many reasons why you might consider Durham as you search for retirement options: our well-rounded quality of life, mild climate, renowned dining, robust arts scene and top-rated health care are just a few. Affordability also plays a factor – in 2015, Durham was recognized

by U.S. News & World Report as one of the top 10 places to retire on $100 or less a day. CNN Money, Money magazine, and Where to Retire magazine have all ranked this area as one of the top places in the country to spend your golden years. And we have ample retirement communities that strike the perfect balance between offering first-rate care and promoting independence. Since we know navigating the many pricing and contract options can be overwhelming, here’s our guide to the area’s best retirement centers:

ASSISTED LIVING COMMUNITIES

LIFE, ENHANCED “Participants at the senior center often go on to become volunteers here,” explains Cathy Stallcup, executive director. The mission of “enhancing the lives of older adults through education, recreation, nutrition and social services in a welcoming community setting” barely scratches the surface of all that goes on here.

Dan and Arlene Lutenegger recently moved from Minneapolis to the Durham Central Park Cohousing Community, which is within sight of the Center for Senior Life. “Dan has Parkinson’s, and we moved to Durham to be closer to the clinical trial he was in,” Arlene says.

“Although we live in a supportive, intentional community, we also needed to meet people outside our cohousing life. The senior center has been integral to our life here.” Dan and Arlene participate in a broad array of exercise classes – such as Strong and Steady, yoga and stationary bike riding – as well as a Sudoku group. They’re big fans of Friday afternoon movies – “with popcorn,” Dan says.

Despite his Parkinson’s, Dan is quite the Ping-Pong player. “I played in the senior games,” he says. Arlene adds: “He does quite well.” Arlene, a retired librarian and psychologist, and Dan, an environmental studies consultant, say the center “helps us with aging in place.” Even if Durham is a new place to them.

COMMUNITY WITHIN A COMMUNITY Vonda and the Luteneggers praise the support of PharmAssist, the onsite agency that helps seniors with prescriptions. “They aid us in figuring out which Medicare Part D plan we should be on for our particular needs,” Arlene says.

Although the center helps anyone older than 55 with everything from wellness to learning the bus system, it’s the community of people who take interest in one another that makes it such a draw for so many. As a hula-hooping participant spinning by can attest, it appears that aging is only a state of mind at the Durham Center for Senior Life.

Convenience has evolved.

Retirement is all about doing things at your convenience. And, by convenience, we don’t mean heating up something prepackaged and frozen for dinner. At The Cedars of Chapel Hill, it means a choice of four onsite dining venues. Choose from casual dining to fine cuisine, from outdoor dining on the Terrace to the Garden Room or the Lounge. Or, if you choose, takeout service and home delivery is always available at no additional cost. Best of all, whichever appetizing option you choose, you’ll find convenience on the menu.
