Our State features American Tobacco prominently in a photo essay about Durham in the magazine’s January 2014 issue.

“Few places in North Carolina have such a prominent intersection of past and present,” starts the Our State article by Lissa Gowals and Brent Clark.  “In Durham, farming inspires new technology. Murals grace the exteriors of gritty warehouses. Nature trails blend into city landscapes. In this place where historic meets practical, and rural meets urban, we find the best of both worlds.”

Both talk about creating the piece for Our State and capturing the Bull City in photographs.  Check out the video of Gowals and Clark talking about Durham, including American Tobacco and its entrepreneurial growth.
