When did that exist? I wasn't knowingly a member but there was a group of people in the mid and late 70s that lived on Henderson.Is there anybody here who was a member of the Henderson Street Porch Sitting Society ?
The porch sitting society met for several years 2002-2005. We would gather on Fridays on the porch of a house on Henderson Street and enjoy being in the Southern Part of Heaven with an assist from legal and not so legal enhancersWhen did that exist?

Is that the east side of Fowler's. It looks about right and the graffiti suggests it.

Okay. I used to go to that convenience store some. Do you remember when there was a head shop called the Purple Dandelion in front of University Baptist?That's the wall of the Carolina Theater. They had just torn down the convenience store on the corner (across from the University Baptist Church) and would soon build Top of the Hill Restaurant in that space. This graffiti does reference the beer cooler in Fowler's, i.e., Big Bertha though.

My brother claims he open the first water bed Store in Durham I forget-some second generation strip mall. I think he made most of his $ on "paraphenelia"First place I ever saw a water bed I'm pretty sure.

Pretty sure it's where the gas station was on corner of Franklin & Columbia when they started Top of the Hill?Is that the east side of Fowler's. It looks about right and the graffiti suggests it.
Thank youIt is all in the book I mentioned authored by Ehle, The Free Men. Find a copy. I suspect you'd greatly enjoy it.
Thank you
I was like 9 when my sister, 2 years my Senior , took my hand and we walked from Couch Lane to Eastgate to meet a protest group walking from Derm up to an AME church in CH There so cell phones back then-so I forget how we called the parents for a ride home when the speeches were done on what I guess was Rosemary St
