Get ready for a spooky good time as Dr. Bryan Raya summons Bo Counts, owner of Pinpoint Fayetteville, to share the story behind the bar’s epic Nightmare on Block Street Halloween transformation. For the whole month of October, Bo and team turn their cocktail bar into a horror lover’s paradise with 12 immersive themes across vignettes transporting guests into scenes from their favorite sinister movies.
Bo traces his journey creating a month-long Halloween event unlike any other. With a background in film and a passion for experiences, his idea was met with skepticism. But Bo took the risk, leveraging his community connections to bring the ambitious concept to life. Now in their 5th year, Nightmare on Block Street has made Pinpoint a destination and Fayetteville a Halloween hotspot.
The conversation explores how small businesses can make a difference in their towns. Bo emphasizes attending council meetings, volunteering and speaking up when developments threaten local character. He urges collaboration between neighboring cities rather than competition. Learn how supporting other businesses fosters community, using the example of lending a hand to nearby bars and restaurants.
Bo shares his belief in creating the change you want to see. From starting arts nonprofits to serving on the Downtown Fayetteville Coalition, he invested in the area long before opening Pinpoint. Listen as Bo and Bryan discuss the hard work beyond social media projections of constant success. They explore the value of vulnerability, honesty and imperfections in forging human connection.
Tune in now for a spirited discussion on doing business right through immersive concepts, community activism and a little “be excellent to each other” mantra. Grab a Halloween cocktail and let your inner monster out!
