Durham, known as the Bull City, is a city in transition. It grew up as a tobacco manufacturing town, but the factories that once employed thousands have shut down. It now calls itself the City of Medicine, reflecting the world-class Duke University Medical Center, the Veterans Administration hospital and the pharmaceutical industry in nearby Research Triangle Park. Empty factory buildings have been reborn as the American Tobacco Historic District. RTP has fueled explosive growth in South Durham as employees seek a short commute, growth that has pushed the city's population to 228,000 residents. Durham is also the home of the storied Durham Bulls, who play in a 10,000-seat neo-classical ball park.
