Behind the White Picket Fence
Chapter 1: Inside Creekridge Park
Creekridge Park is an urban, multiethnic, and mixed-income neighborhood in Durham, North Carolina (see map 1). Temperatures in the low seventies and clear skies made it a perfect day for a picnic. The main purpose of this gathering was holding the CPNA board elections. Burt has a covered garage with a long, wide driveway that served as the party area. The property seems uncharacteristically new and large for the neighborhood. I heard on several occasions from Creekridge Park residents that these happenings are really well-attended. In fact, Cynthia, an established resident and White homeowner in her sixties, stated, We get amazing turnouts.... Its just been phenomenal. The attendance at the annual picnic was highlighted by some respondents and attributed to a location change from a neighborhood-adjacent park to Burts house. It just felt friendly to have it there [at Burts], said Stephanie, a thirty-something White homeowner and established resident.
