The Next US

This is just really cool. David Mackenzie and Susan Perkins of TheNextUS.com rolled through our community a couple of weeks ago on their trek to find how Americans are remaking themselves in a more sustainable manner while in the midst of the current economic conditions. Check out their website and videos highlighting local Fayetteville band Still on the Hill.

Fayetteville, Arkansas

Susan Douihlet and friend Kevin Heatherington

We arrived pretty tired and in need of some TLC and were met with such remarkable love and support. Our friend Susan Drouihlet of New Paradigms Coaching connected us fantastically into the community. We were cared for in all ways.Through the generosity exemplified by Still on the Hill, folkgrass duo of the Ozarks, to the connections with the folks at the Applied Sustainability Center at the University of Arkansas, there's a tremendous evolution of businesses and community that surprised and changed us.
