Welcome to an emotional week as we dive into the details of an innocent friendship that preceded international outrage. We're looking at a famous case of injustice that managed to put Monroe, North Carolina on the map. But before we get you all riled up, we explore the roots of a local store chain, the end of bartering in the southeast, and why anyone would start having children at nearly 60 years old. Along the way, we'll also discuss the feasibility of camera-smuggling, clever ways to gain revenue to avoid business loans, and how it took one company over a century to realize the importance of branding. Maybe just grab yourself a beer for this episode too...
