Frank McKinney

Frank McKinney isn't the normal multi-million dollar businessman. At 21, he got his first interview at a real estate brokerage firm. He'd stepped out of his comfort zone of appearance to please the company, but the man interviewing him said that his hair still wasn't short enough. Three years prior, 18 year old Frank arrived in Miami with little cash in his pocket. He started out working at a country club doing odd jobs such as grooming sand traps. He then worked his way up to giving tennis lessons. He eventually ended up providing professional tennis services for condo complexes. The money that he earned doing those things he used to purchase low priced houses, which he then refurbished and sold for profit. This might look like a dangerous gamble to some people, but he has found the ways people spend their money during economic inflation.

Naming Rights

The naming rights for the Cumberland County Civic Center are being disputed over. The Civic Center is 35 years old, and has recently been undergoing modifications which are scheduled to be done by early 2014. The Civic Center has hired a Comcast Corporation from Philadelphia to market the naming rights. What has been known as The Cumberland County Civic Center by many, could soon be named after a  big time company. For example, the sports arena in Manchester, New Hampshire was bought by Verizon Wireless in 2001 for $11.4 million. With this along with all of the renovation changes going into the Civic Center, don't be surprised if it goes through some big changes in the next few years.
