Not intending to HiJack this thread, but this has been a really tough year for business, or at least for us it has. It never seemed to really get kicked off this Spring, because of weather. It seems like it rains EVERY weekend, and even rained all week during July 4th. Now, it is mid August and suppose to slow down. I have had extended conversations with local business owners, and they feel the same way. Jeff Harris (Harris Performance) and I have talked about it on numerious occasions all summer, and agree this has been the toughest year ever. My business is not close to where it should be YTD. Over the past few years I have spent a lot of time in the area, meeting people, enjoying relationships and visiting local eating places, stores, etc. I will tell you, small business owners have a "tough row to hoe" in the Lake area. It seems like someone goes out of business every week. Kinda scarey. Five families (eleven people) depend on my business' success. Talk about sleepless nights! I see a restaraunt close and think of all those employees that don't have a job. Whew. I don't know if a few feet of water here or there will make a huge difference in business, but lake traffic is way down. I urge everyone to support small business when they can.
Respectfully,
Steve Northington
