The Sub-Way......It was the first sub shop to come to Durham and was hugely popular with the Duke students and the workers at RTP. (I had been told that it was so unique that carloads of RTP employees would come in for lunch each day during the early years.) The shop eventually expanded into the space that opened on Main Street (914 W. Main) and no longer used the Albemarle address. The Subway tenants put up the wood plank siding over the concrete block - stylish at the time. (Its since been removed as you know.) This name would keep the national retailer from using the name Subway in Durham for several years (they would call themselves BMT Subway Deli - although eventually, in the 1980s, the national retailer paid the store at 914 West Main to change its name to Bull City Subs.
