Bull's Eye

Bull's Eye

The Durham staff of The News & Observer works the Bull City to dig up the news and tell its stories. Read here about insider stuff that fills their notebooks but doesn't always make the paper.

Now, about that dinosaur

The old dinosaur that lost its head this week received a great outpouring of sympathy from all around the town. Next Thursday, good Bull Citizens have the chance to put their bodies where their sentiments are — to the extent, at least, of attending a meeting.

All interested parties are invited to a meeting on the dinosaur's future at 7 p.m., in the Friendly City Civitan Clubhouse, 2510 Glendale Ave. The meeting is sponsored by the Northgate Park Neighborhood Association.

Museum of Life and Science spokeswoman Taneka Bennett told Bulls Eye today that the stolen head has been taken to a safe and secure location pending a decision what to do next.

Restoration, she said, is "certainly" an option on the table.
