As much as I love living in North Durham,
there are many times when it is a pain. This is particularly true when
it comes time to food shop, considering almost every option north of 85
is old and decrepit. The arrival of a new Harris Teeter on north Guess Rd is anxiously awaited. Luckily, we have Compare Foods,
which is an awesome international supermarket. Their prices are the
lowest I have found in the area, and they have tons of stuff you will
not find anywhere else. More importantly, their fruits and vegetables
actually look healthy, which is more than I can say for other
supermarkets around here (including Whole Foods). They also have tons
of hard to find meats. Between Compare and King’s Red & White, North Durham is livable. Now if only they would move them 10 miles even more north.
