Best pot stills are made of copper or are at least copperlined. The modern day Copperline Dr. is a bit west and south of JT's Copperline off Morgan Creek. Across the creek from the city was Stillhouse Bottom, the local Kick-a-Poo Holler – shinbone alley where bootleggers kept shop. It's also right on the county line for a quick getaway if it came to that. Worst kept secret in two counties. Like in the song, the creek itself; the bottoms and the old Norfolk-Southern line to the east are all suburban nature trails now.
