Eno festival celebrates its 30th
DURHAM — Wednesday afternoon at the West Point on the Eno City Park in Durham, Natalie Davis outlined bright letters on a wooden sign proclaiming “Look for Children’s Activities at the River and Throughout the Park.” A summer intern with the Eno River Association, the rising junior at Carolina Friends School was updating the dozens of Festival for the Eno signs that tell people where to park, where to get a ride, where to eat, that they can’t have alcohol, to watch their step and anything else directional or informational about the three-day outdoor festival that begins today.

Groove Shop to pay tribute to Jackson
DURHAM -- Think of John Brown and the image that most likely pops to mind is of Brown fingering notes on the double bass, the instrument he plays in the quintet he leads that plays small-group, straight-ahead jazz. During a rehearsal earlier this week in Duke University's music building, Brown played an electric bass. The repertoire at this rehearsal also was different, as was the general vibe.
