Downtown Durham gets a lot of well deserved props because of where it started (i.e., a frightening hell hole) and where it is now (some good stuff within a few blocks of the DPAB and DPAC), but being generous it has about 25% of the shit that is in downtown Raleigh now. It's like comparing Winston-Salem to Burlington. I like Durham (went to dinner and a concert there just last weekend), but there is no comparison. If you haven't hung out in Raleigh in the past 15 years, yes, you would notice an amazing difference. Shit, even in the past 7 years it is night and day.
In other words, Durham hasn't gentrified enough for Say Hey.
