Abstract:
Navigating a city can be difficult for the blind as many cities are not easy for them to navigate. With Durham’s recent development, the opportunity is there to design a downtown that is blind-friendly. The challenges of navigating Durham as a vision-impaired individual are documented along with a map that was designed to aid the vision-impaired and raise awareness of their challenges. The map, photographs of difficult obstacles, and personal testimony is included.

Abstract:
Durham is a city of many facets. It is the site of the Research Triangle Park, the Duke Medical Center, and 50 percent of the state's biotechnology companies. It is a city that does not like to tear down its history. Buildings that once housed tobacco and textiles represent some of the city's finest architecture. They are now used as offices, shops, restaurants, living spaces, and studios for artists. Wright discusses things to do while visiting Durham, including exploring Civil War history, tobacco history, and African-American history; the arts, such as the American Dance Festival and the Carolina Theatre; and the environment at Eno State Park.

Abstract:
Some are wondering who is responsible for the problems surrounding the construction of the Durham Performing Arts Center. The city owes millions on the project and the cost of the project has gone beyond its initial projections. The center’s oversight committee will not have much power to monitor the operating agreement the center has with its promoter and booking company. Also, many of the employees who will work in the center will not be able to make a living wage working there.
