If they don't get these businesses going again, the city ain't going to have any money. I want to be the first to open in Uptown.

From the moment I opened until closing time, it's been nonstop.

The days of big money are gone, and the days of big-money production companies are gone. The big money just wasn't there anymore, and we had to face that reality.

We're not out to make a lot of money. This is to build a facility and give it back to the community.

It's an innovative way of raising money. Years ago, you just put some bleachers up and spray painted the field.

People are willing to spend money on things that make their lives easier.
