Gail says, "I’m relocating from New England because Durham is progressive, diverse, not-too-big and centrally located. It offers the best of many worlds. We can enjoy the outdoors; attend cultural and sporting events; and access the resources of universities. Durham has a unique vibe - gritty, funky, and community-oriented. It will be a great place to live!"
