Tobacco Road

Tobacco Road
a) A fictional place in the rural American South inhabited by poor and uneducated.

If you have traveled in the remote parts of the Deep South, I am sure you have seen the architecture of Tobacco Road - shacks built of whatever materials were available at the time, often by a series of owners. Maybe the roof is corrugated tin, but one wall is made from a billboard and the doorstep is a cinder block.

b) Dilapidated housing as might be found in the rural American South.

All in all, the scene was one of an ethereal Tobacco Road West.
