I installed subway tile to the ceiling for backsplash.

Clearly, this might be slightly higher than some very undesirable places but I am looking to be close to a subway line and not too far from manhattan.

I have reason to believe that the buyer planned to rip my brother off from the beginning.My brother offered a kettle corn business for sale to an individual who previously owned a chain of Subway stores (he sold the stores and was looking to re-invest).

I'm sure too that someone on the subway in NY City is getting their pocket picked too.

I own three Subway franchises "Eat Fresh" and am working with my family on our third Daycare Location as well.

You would use (2) if you want to invest actively in rehabs, wholesaling, new home construction, property management business (or in a profit-sharing arrangement on rehabs and construction, even if your role is passive), or any other type of active business such as a Subway franchise.

Will it work for fast food or Starbucks, Subway combo?  

I used the identical tile in the hall bath and the same cabinet except in white and subway tiles for the shower.

I currently have 3x6 subway tiles and some blue mosaic squares for an accent row that are ready to be applied.
