Reidsville, NC was once home to the American Tobacco Company, which made the iconic cigarette “Lucky Strike.” The plant is closed now, but the town has not declined as have many other similar-sized manufacturing towns in North Carolina. In fact, the main street of Reidsville hardly had an open parking spot the day I visited recently to make some “street Life” photos as I wandered around town. Below is a varied mix of scenes I saw that day for your enjoyment, so you may see what I saw. I note that there is a main line train track running through the center of the town, and while I was there two long trains passed by. A busy place in many ways.
