When I talk to people and they haven't been to Fayetteville in 25 years, I say you wouldn't recognize it. I tell them they should come to Fayetteville and ride through downtown and see what's changed. We're the only lifestyle magazine here and CityView is about the positive things going on in the community. From the very onset, I always said that we're going to stick to things that are positive. at has really paid off. People like that aspect. I have a friend, in Fayetteville, and he says, I read your magazine cover to cover because I learn so much about our community that I didn't know before. It's just amazing. EP: at's great to hear.
