The link is to a terrific post last month to Reyn Bowman’s Bull City Mutterings. It relates Durham’s growth to the growth in the number of hotel rooms and the importance of tourism. Very interesting way of looking at things. Reyn is the leader of the Durham Convention and Visitor’s Bureau and has been aggressively selling the community’s image for many, many years. His leadership is responsible for the “branding” effort that was discussed in a post here this week. I’ve added Bull City Mutterings to the blogroll on the left and added it to my Google Reader and encourage anyone interested in a unique perspective on Durham to do so also. As mentioned many times before, Durham’s image, or brand, has to catch up with the remarkable developments that are taking place to really ignite the luxury home market.
