Dad-of was travelling salesman and that was his territory. His main tactics were taking art directors to lunch and talking to them until they caved.

the numerous coke dealers that liked to frequent the place? Never was a fan of the food there, but it was an old-school Rock Hill hangout and I certainly consumed my fair share of frosty beverages in the place over the years.

Will be wildly successful for about 2 years, maybe 3-4. They will sell it, the location will tank, and they'll be off to the next project.
