Historic Durham Athletic Park Neighborhood a Winner

"The Durham Bulls lost to the Indianapolis Indians Monday night at the historic Durham Athletic Park, but the once-declining neighborhood around the stadium still comes out a winner... There's a more casual vibe in the area around the old ballpark, compared to the new stadium and its bustling neighbor, the American Tobacco Complex. Restaurants near the old stadium lean more toward pine picnic table than white tablecloth, and patrons are more likely to wear jeans and T-shirts than business suits. Skateboarders, on their way to or from the new skateboard park at Durham's Central Park, also near the old stadium, occasionally rattle down the streets."
