It’s no secret that there are Disney fanatics everywhere.

It’s North vs South in personality wars. (The West? Not so much)

Web Watch was having a conversation the other day about what it was like to conduct business – sales, really – in various parts of the country.

Visits out to the West?  Those, he said, were full of feel-good, granola folks.
