Only In Toledo: DeShawn Willis of Lake Lawn

Film maker Dan Lior put together a great short film about DeShawn Willis finding a meme making fun of him on social media. He looks like a very mustachian individual.

Great video.   Seems like a nice, hard-working guy.

I don't know why this popped up for me just now, but the video was very interesting, so I checked out his GFM page.

"$72,668 raised of $53,000 goal."

Go, DeShawn!

Towing your lawn mower with your bike, because your van broke down?  Dang, good on him for finding a way.

He mentions having difficulty getting a loan due to insufficient credit.  I wonder what he needed a loan for.  I'm guessing that with a (probably?) cash-only business, there's not much for a lender to go off of.

Maybe he wanted a loan to buy a new van.
