n last month's column, I discussed a new technology
called Reveel.it that we are very excited about. In
this issue, you'll be able to use the technology to
access more information and photos not only with
designated ads which bear the Reveel.it icon but with some
of our editorial content. For example, if you want to see
more photos of the events highlighted in our popular "Seen
@ the Scene" feature, go to www.Reveel.it on your phone's
browser and snap a photo of the page or ad in question.
You'll be presented with options to see more photos or
information. Expect to see more Reveel.it in our coming
issues.
On November 15th, we experimented with a CityView
business breakfast. It was very well attended, drawing 230
people, and we received very favorable comments from
attendees aerwards. is was our first foray into this area
but it convinced us we should do more events like this in
2018. e speakers, all excellent, were Jordan Jones of
Prince Charles Holdings LLC, on the subject of downtown
redevelopment; Mac Healy, on the planned North Carolina
Civil War History Center; John McCauley of Vision 2026,
on economic initiatives in Fayetteville; and Robert Van
Geons, the new head of Fayetteville Cumberland County
Economic Development Corporation.
e primary criticism was the program was too long. We'll
make sure the next one is shorter, but just as useful and
interesting. So stay tuned for information in the spring
about our next business breakfast. It will sell out fast. If
you'd like to see the speakers at our first breakfast, go here
