100 East Geer Street – A Photo Documentary
100 East Geer Street is a stunning photo documentary, by Holly Bourne, about Reinvestment Partners’ neighborhood revitalization work on the 100 block of East Geer Street in Durham.

The Bathroom – Being All It Can Be (Part II)
Reinvestment Partners and the LGBTQ Center of Durham hosted an event at Bull City Cool on Wednesday, titled “Everyone is Welcome (to use our bathroom!).” (Read all about our bathroom’s sordid history HERE).

Learning from Limits – Our Success (and Failure) Story
Bull City Cool is a success – everyone thinks so… our grantors, our tenants, our neighbors. But how did it become a success? To borrow words from Sumner Redstone: Success is not built on success. It’s built on failure. It’s built on frustration. Sometimes it’s built on catastrophe. Learning From Limits is a new report […]
Welcome new tenants: Relay & LoMo!

Relay Foods and LoMo Market are two food businesses that are bringing more sustaina-bull local food through the Food Hub! (We can hardly believe we resisted that pun for as long as we did, folks.) We’ll let the two new […]
Bull City Cool’s Old Condenser Makes a New Connection!
Bull City Cool is an entity that makes connections. Whether that’s through our tenant Farmer Foodshare, who connects local growers to local eaters, or through Farmers’ Meetings hosted at the Hub. That’s great, but what does this have to do with a used refrigerator condenser, you may ask? Well, we had to replace the unit […]
Fresh Food and Healthy Conversation

We’re in the business of facilitating and fostering discussion around healthy food and hunger in Durham and across the state. That’s why we hosted 25 participants from 17 agencies on January 28th at the hub – all of whom work on food […]
Keepin’ NC Veggies Cool!
Bull City Cool is committed to keeping North Carolina veggies cool, in all senses of the word. And what better way to do that than with a 24-foot refrigerated truck? Patrick of Seal the Seasons picked up this new-to-us truck in Boston last week, and drove it home to Bull City Cool. The truck, like […]
Farmers’ Breakfast at the Hub
Three years ago, Reinvestment Partners envisioned creating a food hub… A place that would strengthen Durham’s local food ecosystem by providing space and connections to benefit local farmers, food businesses and hunger-relief nonprofits. Since then, we’ve worked step by step setting the stage to actualize this vision and create our Bull City Cool Food Hub. […]
