I may never achieve the knowledge of my father's engineering mind, my uncle's fine- tuned negotiating skills and my cous- ins' sharp financial forecasting.

When talking with potential merchants coming from other areas, they tend to look only at statistics as forecasts for success. Fayetteville is more unique than these numbers and I feel I understand that well."
