ELLIJAY, GA. -- Wayne Sloop may be the only man in America who has gotten more fit and healthy due to immense stress.
The turnaround started just four months ago as he approached a historic building in Ellijay -- at the time it housed a financially struggling pool hall and bar -- that Sloop had admired for years. The desperate pool hall owner sitting on the front porch yelled, "Buy my restaurant, please" as Sloop eyeballed the building.
