If nothing else, The Republik knows how to get folks
talking about Fayetteville, N.C., which, let's face it, is no easy task. When
last we profiled the town's outreach efforts, Statue of Liberty torch-style
flashlights sparked, well, not controversy exactly…but they were cute as
promotional knick-knacks go. Now, spots depicting Fayetteville as
"America's First Sanctuary Community for Soliders" (it's home to a
lot of military personnel) have the local media sizzling like grits on a
griddle, which, living my entire life in the Northeast, is the best I can do to
imbue this post with Southern flavor.
