He has two sons that are musicians. I heard Femi in Central Park's soundstage he put on a good show

Add to that both locations of Urban Books here in Memphis and this is definitely out of control. However, we only have ourselves to look at. In today's climate any place that opens has to serve multiple markets. With the amount of food trucks out there now, if a local bookstore opened (Black owned) they would have to do what B&N does and offer food. They would also have to work to promote literacy through poetry readings and events on the Friday nights and weekends. It would also benefit the locations to offer Wi-Fi and allow for small business people without offices to operate out of the business like a small urban workspace. Just being a bookstore, or any kind of store solely is not a viable business. I'm considering opening an art gallery because I love art. However, it will also double as a retail space for high end apparel and footwear. I will also potentially carry books and I will most definitely host open mics and various events as well as create a room for incubators. I know I have to do this because simply opening an art gallery space would not generate enough money. This is terrible though, just terrible.
