“A new co-working space out of the American Underground team is about to debut in downtown Durham’s Kress & Co. Building on Main Street. Gridworks Durham is being advertised as a co-working and small office space that targets the freelance and small business community. It’s a change of pace from American Underground, which focuses on entrepreneurs.”
The Durham Bulls will host their annual Job Fair on Saturday, Jan. 21 to fill part-time game day positions for the 2017 season. The fair will take place from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. in the PNC Triangle Club at Durham Bulls Athletic Park.
“Raleigh-Durham’s American Underground has more businesses led by women and people of color than the national average. In a new report, the team shares how they did it.”

“A Christmas tree made of 120 new bicycles that will be donated to needy children will lit up at the American Tobacco Campus on Friday December 2nd.
The Tree of Bikes, based on a project done in New Zealand and now the first of its kind in the United States, has transformed what was for more than a decade a modest effort to give local children bicycles for Christmas into a community-wide event to celebrate the spirit of giving.”
