There are times when marketing a destination is simply an act of capturing the excitement surrounding a small happening. Durham is a very tech savvy place with over 95% of households accessing the internet on a regular basis. People here like technology, the internet, and many of the information delivery conveniences provided by such a level of interconnectivity.
Sometimes things on the internet are just plain cool, too, like Google Earth. They are made more so when they are updated, as happened recently. Local blog Endangered Durham had a post about the update recently, and it prompted a reader to post about Google Earth's timeline feature. Using this tool, it is possible to see Durham all the way back to 1993.
Watching this place change can be nostalgic, but also exciting to see how it has grown and changed for the better. Durham is a place where great things happen.
