Dix says that the bar and club, slated to take over the basement of The Fruit on Dillard Street, will feature local artists, DJs, and drag queens. Dix, born and raised in Durham and then born again, as a drag queen in Durhamemphasizes that Club ERA is meant to be a piece of a bigger queer puzzle in Durham, rather than a new competitor with existing nightlife.
