Sure, some of the manufacturing is still here (thanks god, now that all 
of the textile plants are closed or dying) - but all of the tobacco 
company HQs moved out. RJR moved away from Winston after Nabisco bought 
them - ah Nabisco healthy food, healthy smokes.

The Lucky Strike plant in downtown Durham is now a huge shell with no 
one knowing exactly what to do with it. If you're into shooting run down 
buildings (yawn), its a pretty good place to do it.
