What makes a city feel like home — the buildings, the businesses, or the people behind them?

Bill McKinney sits down with three longtime Tallahassee personalities to talk about the city they’ve watched change for decades.

In this episode of Rev’d Up with Bill McKinney, Bill is joined by Dale Brown, George Gavallas, and Scott Carswell for a conversation spanning Tallahassee history, local business, live entertainment, Florida State football, golf, technology, customer service, and the relationships that keep people coming back.

Scott shares stories from more than four decades in live entertainment, including how major acts get booked and why concerts can benefit an entire city. George talks about the evolution of Nick’s Toggery, dressing generations of Tallahassee customers, and keeping a family business relevant. Dale brings stories from Capital City Country Club and a perspective on how Tallahassee has changed across generations.

The conversation ultimately comes back to something that matters whether you’re buying clothes, attending a concert, playing golf, or buying a car: relationships still matter.
