1. I thought the Regulator Bookshop burned down a few years ago.

I don't get up to Durham very often, I must say, but that's what I was thinking.

2. That was The Intimate Bookshop

in Chapel Hill, Walter Kuralt's flagship store, too. :P

8. Wallace Kuralt.

A really talented guy and a great friend. I really miss our rambling talks about everything, and I really mean everything.

I particularly miss Wallace this time of year.

3. Whatever you do, don't go to Satisfaction (ptooey!) after.

Rufus (new owner, aka "Staton") is rabidly red. Bunches of us former regulars have moved on to bluer pastures (like Dain's on 9th St.).

4. That's good to know

We've had a coulple of NC DU meetups there in the past.

We've also enjoyed Devine's and The James Joyce in that neck of the woods.

7. Oh man, this is sad..a few of used Sat's private room to watch the Nov 06 returns..

...guess we won't be doing THAT again (ie: we'll pick another place).

EDIT: Dain's Place is very nice. I've only been once but it's smoke-free (unusual for a good beer place) and nice atmosphere.

5. I'm not sure if the cafe is still running downstairs, but..

..it's one of my favorite bookshops. I'll drop be sure to drop by.

6. The cafe

hasn't been open in quite a while. At least, it's never open when I'm there, usually late afternoon, evening.
