[Durham INC] Origins of Tobacco Road: New webpage on John D. Loudermilk, Durham...

[John Schelp]

New webpage describes the origins of Loudermilk's hit song, Tobacco Road.

You can also read how a Walgreen's in downtown Durham was the inspiration for another hit song ('Rose and a Baby Ruth'), early days of Few Gardens, Carden's Dance Hall, and how Andy Griffith performed "What It Was Was Football" at West Durham Fidelity Bank on Ninth Street (now Bruegger's).
