Affirmation and Photo: Pupuseria Orellana
Durham Historians: The interior of this place indicates that at one point it was some sort of doughnut shop. Does anyone know what’s up? Also: Note that the inside of this place is awesome. There are old-fashioned-looking aisle number signs hanging from the ceiling that don’t correspond to any aisles (the few remaining aisles are now running in a different direction). |
