throughout, from the mountains in West North Carolina, the mid-section and beyond.

For about 10-15 years, in the late 90's to ca 2012, I spent several weeks in the Durham area each year, always enjoying the amenities offered there.

I hope you do not take offence, but each time we drove through Winston-Salem the most prominent landmark was/is a tall, round tower, perhaps left from the tobacco days, which appeared to me as a Phallic symbol.
Have others remarked in a similar vein re that tower - or is it a smokestack?
