Nate Davis - On His Northside Upbringing (clip)

Alexander Stephens: And where did you grow up exactly?

Nate Davis: I grew up…it was called Lincoln Lane, it was not called Lincoln Lane, School Lane. School Lane and School Lane was off Church Street. As I matter of fact, I could sit on my front porch and look directly at Northside School. That duplex is still sitting there now. That’s where I grew up at. I lived there until probably about 13 years old and then we moved on Merritt Mill Road and stayed on Merritt Mill Road until I was about 19 years old. At that time the Town of Chapel Hill came and they were looking at realigning Merritt Mill Road, and connecting Merritt Mill Road with McCauley Street. And, so where we lived, the property we owned we ended up selling to the Town, and then–it was about four families there. My uncle, my grandma, my grandparents, and then my family and there was one more family there, the Atwaters. So, basically, we ended up selling our property to the Town and we moved out on Highway 54 West. My grandparents built a house on Grant Street and stayed there ‘til they passed away. My uncle…they moved out on Johnson Street. We moved out on 54 and I stayed there until my parents kicked me out and told me to go somewhere. [Laughter]. Well no, I stayed there until I graduated.
