[Durham INC] Neighborhoods Hike is Sun, Oct 15 at 10AM (free walking tour starts at Ninth & Green)

[John Schelp]

What's buried under Duke Hospital? Where was Kevin Costner spotted in his boxer shorts, near East Campus? Why do neighborhoods change so quickly in Durham? Where did Madonna take early dance lessons? Why is Walltown called Walltown? Who was Booker T Spicely? Where was Pinhook? Which famous songwriter was born behind Monuts? Where was the West Durham airport? Why wasn't Wallace Wade stadium built near Ninth Street?




 

Local street historian John Schelp will join us as we walk through Old West, Watts-Hillandale and Walltown. Co-hosted by the Museum of Durham History and the Sierra Club. No dogs please (217 hikers last time). Parking on nearby streets.
