So, are there lessons for the CVB in this story? Hmmm, I’ll follow up with Hayes over a beer. I will note that Jon and Daitra said that Northfield could use a place that had dancing on Friday and Saturday nights.

And Jon, I have four words, or phrases, for you, “Partick’s”, “John Meyer”, “minnow”, and “Big W”.
