Checkmate: American Tobacco Finishes New Hang Out Zone for Memorial Day

In preparation for the Memorial Day Holiday, American Tobacco put the finishing touches on its new hang out space near the Cage and Rail Car, officially known as the Depot.

Included in the area is a shaded lunch area, a fire pit, hammock lounge and, an outdoor chess set. The chess pieces are approximately 2 feet high and were designed and manufactured locally by Bull City Fabrication. Capital Sign Solutions printed and installed the decals for the water tower and smoke stack pieces.
