At the time, it probably seemed like a good idea, but roads, change, populations move away, and it just doesn't work out. We have so many abandoned places around here that were created as fifties joints with flat roofs, looking like the old dairy queen buildings. A fun blog.L.

That is until the contractor tore it all out and put in a new kitchen! <br /><br />Thanks for stopping by my blog.

If he is any good he will tell you that there is NO other business that goes out of business faster than a restaurant!!!<br />"We" are in the restaurant/hotel business and believe me, everyone of your employees will figure out how to steal from you, even if it means they don't charge for the coffee for a bigger tip! Oops...there goes your profit! Is it big enough for a bed and brk-fast...more control for you and 2 people could do the work, In restaurant you will need many more people!!!Desert Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17579222955141552476noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-645869662457607658.post-29868302096330557382009-09-14T23:06:17.153-07:002009-09-14T23:06:17.153-07:00Eastern Washington sounds wonderful, and I am with...Eastern Washington sounds wonderful, and I am with you on the "idea" but everytime I stumble on something like this, I too end up being slapped with the reality of $$$ to really get it up and running LOLO.
