For your consideration ...
To be frank...my failure to keep Swann's Resort rolling onward was entirely due to a damned hurricane. Fran came in and wrecked my newly rebuilt dock..my new gas and diesel fuel pumps (huge $$$$) ..my sea wall,etc etc...all things that were not covered..and cannot be covered..by insurance. This is what it looked like just before Fran hit...we were on a roll. and rocking the largest, most expansive liquor license the county ever issued. There will never be another like it.
I understand and respect what you built. But with my statement, "Restaurants, food service, has long been stacked against the bright eyed starry eyed boot lacing entrepreneur. Just ask @Gilligan." I was referring to your experience in that, if one were to ask you today, that restaurant entrepreneurs, have the chips stacked against them in trying to start a new restaurant business. At least, I think that's what you would say? Or would you say something different?
As an aside. I heard that Calvert Marina had to stop selling gas/diesel due to a simple fixable leak to the pier pumps that started a ball rolling. Well now it's not just fixing a leak. Now it's bring everything up to current regulations. Replacement of in-ground tanks, running new lines, $$$$$$, etc. etc. etc.. Owner said fug that and shut the whole thing down and removed all of it.
