    Great question @rogerlund1754. NuMarket uses its own platform to host the campaigns and also to send out credits. Goals vary widely, the team works with you to set a realistic one that helps your business.

    This was terrific. What is the actual mechanism that was used to raise the funds? Was it a traditional GoFundMe process that simply provided this type of payback to the investor? Was it an ongoing fundraising effort or was it during a finite period of time? How does one set a realistic goal?

    Are you people drunk? I live here and Macon is a crap hole. Crime is widespread and if you want to get mugged by a homeless person then go downtown. "Lester the idiot" is a joke. All he does is focus on the drunks downtown but lets the rest of Macon get robbed, shot and murdered. Congrats on all the focus on a 10 block span of Macon. Please save some money for the rest of our funerals. Thanks Lester.....for not a damn thing.

    It was made in around 1978. My father Jared Shlaes was one of the people behind it and appears all through it. Much of it was filmed in Rapid City South Dakota. I know because he brought me with him for the filming. I'm pleased to see how well it holds up.

    Been through Laramie several times. Considered it for my retirement home. Bit too small though. Get off I-80 and go up north about 7 blocks and it's the University of Wyoming. Go up about 5 more blocks and it's the north edge of town. Nice college town. But I would get cabin fever soon. And the winds! Lordy, turn in the wind machine to 45 mph sustained winds, add in -10° cold and see how long you can take that. Yikes.
