:)  I am a little slow on the uptake here on BP on the unwritten rules or even the written rules as I have never read them :)It reminds me of ordering at IN an Out Burgers.. you have the menu then you have the secret verbal menu...

For example if it's a burger place are there 3 other burger places close by or 10?  

I was always thinking of ways to generate revenue which led me down several paths: when I was 7, I sold my toys and clothes at a garage sale which worked out well; the following year I setup a food and beverage stand at the garage sale which made more money than my entire family’s sales combined; I ran that stand for a few more years and employed my older siblings to work for me; when I was 9, my buddy and I attended a five day four-night University of Michigan hockey camp and sold all of the snacks our parents sent us with to make $150 each (I sold a half-eaten snack size bag of Doritos and used cheese dip for $5) ; we went again the following year and convinced our parents to shop at Costco before the camp so we were completely stocked up with inventory, needless to say we made a killing; I started a lawn mowing business during middle school and ran it profitably for several years until I finished high school.During high school I took both finance classes that were offered and became a teacher’s assistant so I could be in a finance class again.

We were eating Ramen noodles and macaroni and cheese.

Big City people don't move to podunk towns in the middle of nowhere.3) Most of the jobs are in agriculture, which is seasonal, and I'd bet few people from the Bay Area know how to milk a cow, process cheese, or grow produce. 

Kids get out of college to appease their parents and now have 50,000 to 100,000 of debt and are flipping burgers at mickey d's.College can be a benefit if the right profession is chosen,the kid is passionate about the field,and loan costs are kept to a minimum.Going to college just to go is a waste of time.My friends and I went for a few years and would always be playing pool in between classes.

There is also another waterfront hotel under construction next to the cheese cake factory in Hermosa.

Everyone says going to college is the thing to do otherwise you will be flipping burgers the rest of your life.

James Wise no we never opened it but we were gonna do a menu with everything under 500 calories using low fat sauces, low fat cheeses and high protein/low fat meats, etc. great idea but have no clue about the restaurant business think I will just stick to real estate!

Account Closed As I have discovered, you must be willing to just eat Mac & Cheese and a tuna sandwich at times to make it happen.
