sophiebelle, Durham is known as a refuge city for criminals and it is a popular, busy drug hub. A lot of the riff raff in Durham hang out at the motels. To add to the list of horrible happenings in Durham there is now a lot of prostitution and sex slave /trade activity. All in all this is no longer a good place to raise kids. They will eventually be touched by, inticed or lured into one of the many criminal enterprises.
