Connections: A Rochester small business success story - The Arnett Cafe

It's a small business success story -- an African-American-owned restaurant that has become a quiet magnet in the city of Rochester. The Arnett Cafe relies on word of mouth, and four years after opening, there are plenty of words being passed around town about it.

We sit down with co-owner Norman Brown, who grew up nearby in the 19th Ward. But Brown moved away after school, following a business path, and never expected to come home to Rochester. We explore why he did, and how he views the changes in both his city and his old neighborhood.
