Porch." We're located at Cleveland Street to Old
Five Points and Holloway Street to Alston Avenue.
We have a rich history that shapes the community;
some residents have lived in these homes for over
50 years. Our eclectic neighborhood thrives from
its diversity and enjoys the vibrancy of
downtown Durham.

A Star Runs Free
A HUGE thank you to everyone who came out last weekend to help unchain Star; whether you gave funds towards her shots and fence materials, came out and sweated laying ground wire or twisting fence ties, or otherwise showed your support, Star and her owners are incredibly grateful. Here are some photos:
Eleni tamps down a post...
Dante gets a kiss of thanks...
Robert has a pensive moment...
Morgan shows off what a big baby Star is...
Dante, Matt, andee and Dylan learn about reinforcing corners (correction: Matt tells me they were learning about hog-tying the ground wire, which keeps Star from digging out)...
Mike works on the gate...
andee and Dylan twist the metal ties...
The crew lays straw for dry flooring...
...and she's FREE!
Playing with Syba of Queen Street...
...and with Cleveland of Mallard Ave.
Sorry for the delay on the video... as soon as we locate Jennifer's Flip, we'll get it online! That's the trouble with moving, even just across the street... things go missing for a while.
Most of all.... thanks to the Coalition to Unchain Dogs, whose work decreases the physical and emotional pain of hundreds of innocent dogs. Renee did a great job leading the build, and everyone who came out was cheery and hard-working. Cleveland-Holloway and Star thank you!
