This is the ONLY Nordstrom store in the Triangle, though. The anchor stores are JC Penney, Macy's, Belk and Nordstrom. Decent food court and huge cinema. Crate and Barrel lives here, too plus Maggiano;s restaurant and many other chain foodie places.

Get back to nature via a walk along the Eno River (it's a smallish river actually, but deep enough for floating). The closest access point, this hidden gem is perfect for a hike on a Sunday afternoon. Plenty of paved parking, then hit the well-marked trails. Pets must be leashed but kids run free. Picnic area in the first two access points including a covered shelter with grills. Go to the end of the road to reach the banks of the Eno, then take the winding trail down to the water. Always a great time!

This is the "new" Durham Bulls stadium, completed in 1995 after Raleigh tried to "steal" the Bulls from their hometown. The city of Durham rallied behind the team and raised money to produce a stadium that is reenergized - a local favorite. Sure it's AAA ball, but it's always a great time! Old time baseball at its best.
