[Durham INC] NC Pride Parade is today at 1pm (nearby parking just got easier)

[John Schelp]

folks,

One of the 100 things ya gotta do before you die is see the NC Pride Parade here in Durham. 

Starting promptly at 1pm today, the parade of thousands goes from East Campus, up Broad and back on Ninth Street.

And now, parking just got a little easier. Duke is opening its new parking lots on Maxwell Street for folks going to the parade (see below).

Everyone loves a parade.
