And I feel if you didn’t discuss the safety aspect that would have been the elephant in the room, and I thought you did a good job of addressing both the perception and the reality of the issue.

Greensboro is also a similar, and fun, trip on Amtrak. Maybe Greensboro doesn’t have quite the same growing national reputation as Durham but it is great for a change of pace. The train station is right in the center of town and there are plenty of restaurants and such within easy walking distance.

Charlotte, of course, would be a great trip too – if the train station weren’t so far from everything you’d want to do in Charlotte (basically, you have no choice but to use a bus, cab, or Uber)

Perhaps you noticed that one of the two of us used facts? The county rate may not reflect the exact rate inside The Loop, but it does exist and those criminals are acting relatively close by. My sister’s scary situation did happen.

If this were not a trip worth doing, I wouldn’t have written long form on it, obviously.

Anyone who’s spent more than 4 nights there knows this is not the case. Maybe just get off at the Cary stop on your next “adventure”. Cary seems more your speed. Bring pepper spray, just in case.
