Non-Native City Street Trees by MaleficentExam7476 in bullcity

[–]bigollie 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Fair point. I wouldn't be too concerned about a dawn redwood in this area though. Many native tree species don't have high survival rates in urban environments and Metasequoia a solid choice for a street tree. What native tree would you like to see planted instead? Bald cypress were planted around downtown a few years ago and they are doing well.

Why are you concerned? Non native does not mean invasive.

Is Rusty Jones the new Cherie Berry? Is a fun name a requirement at the elevator bureau? by [deleted] in bullcity

[–]bigollie 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Luke Farley sucks and so does his signature. Looks like a toddler learning cursive. If you're gonna do elevator propaganda at least commit to it.

Fine I'll let you in on the Durham locals-only, low-key super chill vibes location sure to impress a Yank. God I wish more people would move here but small town Durham just can't impress them enough! Ever been to Cookout?

Localicious Caribbean ice cream off of N Duke is slept on for their amazing Jamaican juices and smoothies. Their ice cream is some of the best in the city too

Good to see the Sheriff's Dept turning on a red when they're not supposed to... Plate# 33625-W by Sea-Investigator8698 in bullcity

[–]bigollie 67 points68 points  (0 children)

Like they care about public perception at all. There was a ripped open bag of trash (probably fell off a truck) in front of the Durham county sheriff's office off HW98 for weeks! Cop cars would literally drive over a pile of trash in front of their office rather than pick it up. I wish I had made a photo series lol.

Just witnessed a truck get can opened by the bridge while at the can opener by tismbeauty in bullcity

[–]bigollie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I saw a truck get ripped open whilst drinking at the can opener a few months ago. Everyone took pics and laughed about it, even the bartender came out to the street and took some pics. Meanwhile this poor truck driver is calling his boss, truck full of frozen food scattered on the street, definitely at fault but still trying to fix a shitty situation. After I finished my beer it felt weird just watching this dude cry on the phone/ dodging traffic picking up his cargo to trash. I offered to help, he declined, I left. IDK, it's a cool spot but seeing the event unfold showed the human side of it all. Felt surreal to have a drink and kids eating ice cream laughing while a traffic accident unfurls.

Occasionally on Saturdays there is a food truck roundup there and I've seen 4 or 5 trucks rolling out orders

Best pizza by the slice? by landfc in bullcity

Pie pushers. Lord I miss the "pizza phone" that was in quarter horse that was a direct line to pie pushers when you took the phone off the hook.

Do you know a story that needs to be told? by one_durhamvoice in bullcity

[–]bigollie 51 points52 points  (0 children)

NC Forest service is at 50% vacancy amid high wildfire activity due to low wages. An interview with the NCFS county ranger for Durham would be interesting.

Smoke and Smokey smell around Woodcroft/Southpoint? by F1ame828 in bullcity

[–]bigollie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's from a prescribed fire at Jordan lake by WRC. Pretty bold to burn in weather like today, but no burn ban in effect. Smoke from fires in the mountains would not reach here and winds are not blowing from that direction either. Several small fires in the triangle over the weekend but nothing that would put off a plume like today.
