Freedom-proud town wants to force restaurants to serve apple pie

Boosters want Fayetteville to wave the flag

By Matt Leclercq
Staff writer

A marketing campaign to portray Fayetteville as America's most patriotic city suggests daily parades, tax breaks for flag-wavers and requiring all restaurants to serve apple pie.

Other concepts, pitched by the Fayetteville Area Convention and Visitors Bureau, could turn Cumberland County into a sort of Disney World of American pride.

<...>

The marketing initiative is the most extensive ever proposed to shed the rough-and- tumble "Fayettenam" characterization that has lingered since the Vietnam War. The plan cleared perhaps its most significant hurdle Monday when the City Council agreed to endorse the concept of trumpeting patriotism as an identity.

<...>

The initiative will get a formal unveiling Monday at the Crown Arena. The news conference is being billed as the "image resolves," a theme based on the Liberty Point Resolves of 1775 when Fayetteville's earliest patriots vowed to fight for freedom.
