Preservation Durham, North Carolina (http://preservationdurham.org/index.html - broken link)
I love that site. I always go to the endangered properties page...so tempted to get one of them. Esp. the one on Driver Street. In fact I think I'll drive by that this weekend - that street has a particularly nice little association forming to improve things.
I love Preservation Durham, too. I keep thinking about going on one of their walking tours, but I haven't gotten around to doing it yet. I might be more inclined to do it if I had company. Any takers?

That sounds like a really cool idea! I'd be interested.....

I have done both the architecture walking tour and the civil rights history walking tour. They were both interesting in their own way. I enjoyed the architecture one more, though I think it was more because of the tour guide than the information. The civil rights history was lead by the guide as more of a class that she was teaching to, whereas the architecture was more of a conversation about what we were seeing and looking at.
Thanks for the info, 9/9. The architecture one interests me the most, so it's good to hear that it's your favorite of those 2. Looks like I've missed it for this month. Perhaps I'll go on August 23rd instead.
