A few days ago, an incredible community spirit display occurred in downtown Durham. Nine dedicated students performed a "random act of kindness" by tackling the muddy, leaf-filled area in front of Barb's Buy-gones and Needful Things, which had slick and slimy leaves in the street, raising concerns about community safety.
A BIG SHOUTOUT to Rowan Turnquist, Jonathon Gore, Jack Johansson, Jonas Ilukowicz, Bryce Landon, Carter Schmid, Liam Edson, Hank Simmons, and Micah Dawsons for their hard work and commitment to making the Durham Community a better place.
