H
istoric buildings and architecture are alive and well
in the downtown district of Fayetteville, but this also
rings true for outlying communities. This issue's Art story
features a firehouse in Eastover that has been revitalized and ignites
an artistic flame in the youth it serves. Read about how owner Toni Brinker saw
potential in the old brick structure and slowly watched her dream come to fruition
and thrive as she begins her second season of instructing dance at the studio. She is
furthering the performing arts in the Eastover community while holding down the
household.
From our police heroes, to our local Habitat for Humanity and even lawyers who
can cook, professionals living in our community are truly making a difference and
a have a passion for what they do. Enjoy this August special issue as your summer
winds down. Catch us next month for the final part in our police series as I spend
the day with the forensics division where they'll debunk CSI myths and more.
