DC to Durham (NC not NH) Tuesday

[Al DeFlorio]

There's gotta be a great barbecue place somewhere in the Durham area.  It's been 26 years since we lived in the Triangle so even if I could remember one there's no guarantee it would be any good.

Edit:  I may be able to get a name.  Stay tuned.

Two suggestions for Carolina barbecue in the Durham area:

Hog Heaven: http://triangle.citysearch.com/review/35709567

Bullock's: http://triangle.citysearch.com/review/6199596

I'm told Hog Heaven is close to the Duke campus.

[quote Ben Rocky 04]Whats the word on 'Cosmic Cantina' or 'Devine's Restaurant & Sports Bar' ?[/quote]

Cosmic is a favorite of undergrads, especially at night and for freshmen who live nearby.  It's really just nasty, fake, Mexican food, though.

The Washington Duke hotel that someone mentioned is very close to the lacrosse field, but it would be a real meal at an upscale, snotty hotel.  Since I don't believe you really graduated in 1904, I'm guessing you may not want that.

for bar-type food, my recommendation is to go to main st just southeast of east campus.  Devine's is there, as is brightleaf mall and some other spots.  

Also, if in a rush, you could get off 85 right at Northsquare mall and get food there.  But don't go there after dark--I remember more than a couple shootings in the parking lot.

Hog's Heaven, which someone mentioned, is also not far from 85 if I remember correctly.

And yes, Duke sucks.  Make sure they know they're vile idiots--even if only because of public drunkeness and pissing on sidewalks.  Hey, we've all done it, but they got caught.

Sorry, I just know about those few places I mentioned from visiting my daughter during her undergraduate years there.

Duke beat UNC today 9-7. The Tar Heels led 6-1 before the Duke defense clamped down.

Just over 74 hours until the big game now...

$3.99 for the game or $9.99 for a month of "ACC Select"

Awesome. I signed up last night. The only other option I had was a $10 monthly pass via Duke's regular service. And the test video on the main page worked fine for me on my Mac.

Let Cornell be aware that I am more than willing to pay modest amounts to see their sports, if someone actually bothers to support my platform.

Before I head south, I just wanted to say:

DUKE SUCKS  & LGR!

I'll second that and add a Hoot-Hoot, because I'm having a Duke Sucks double feature today. First it's Temple's women's basketball against top-seeded Duke in the NCAA tournament at 5 p.m. (ESPN2), then it's the lacrosse game.
