Think about it: Organizers of the Full Frame Documentary Film Festival (formerly known as Doubletake) could have held their prestigious event anywhere, but every year since 1998, they have chosen Durham. That same year, Manbites Dog, Durham's preeminent community theater company, moved into its permanent home right outside downtown. And DADA, the Durham Association for Downtown Arts, which brought us September's Hip Hop Film Festival and the annual Durham Bands Showcase, emerged as an influential cultural force in 2000.

What would the holiday season be without food? Time is running out to indulge in your favorite goodies before New Year's resolution time comes around, so Otis the season for culinary gifts. Gift certificates to restaurants or dessert shops (think Ben and Jerry's or The Mad Hatter's) are guaranteed winners. The more adventurous and creative can head to Fowler's Gourmet, a fountain of epicurean bliss in Brightleaf Square, for yummy gift baskets. The pre-made ones range in price from $15 to $100 and vary in theme from chocolates to North Carolina-made products, to the festive Santa Snack Basket, or you can opt to create your own basket from Fowler's wide selection of gourmet foods and kitchen equipment.
