Duke University Medical Center

Posted on October 9, 2019 by J.L. Hilton

Duke University Medical Center is like a castle, huge and labyrinthine. Perfect setting for a video game. Something creepy, post-apocalyptic or zombies, maybe. While taking pictures, someone asked me what was “photoworthy.” I said, “This beautiful building.” He said, “It is, isn’t … Continue reading →

Try-It Tuesday: STARDEW VALLEY

My family’s been after me to play STARDEW VALLEY for months. I avoided the game because I thought it would be another Farmville. Wow, was I wrong. STARDEW VALLEY looks like a cute little gardening simulator, but there’s also fishing, foraging, crafting, ranching, cooking, adventuring, brewing, … Continue reading →
