American Tobacco Campus
Downtown
This complex, adjacent to the Durham Bulls Athletic Park, houses apartments, offices, a theater, bars, and restaurants in a series of beautifully refurbished warehouses left over from the city's cigarette-rolling past. Free summer concerts are staged on a central lawn, in the shadow of a Lucky Strike water tower, and the place comes alive with lights and decorations during the holidays. It's a great place to stroll around and take in the scenery. Despite the history, it's a nonsmoking development. Burt's Bees is also headquartered here, and you can tour Burt's intact original cabin, brought here from Maine. Don't miss the tucked-away bee mural behind the office building.
