SimonB, A couple days back I asked for ideas on new bussinesses and pool hall was mentioned then. The places for a site seemed to all be upstairs. Do you happen to know if there are any locations on the ground floor? I am in this damned wheelchair and stairs and me are not the best of friends. You seem to be the man to go to on ALOT of issues there and your input would be appreciated.

There was one place available in town but it's now gone and turned into a hardware store. There is another one that was being used by Island Essentials but I think it's too far from town to be profitable. To be profitable it needs to be in or very near the town core where people can easily walk to it, and from it to other venues.

Taking 2 units and blowing out the middle wall in one of Aquamarina Stores would probably work but right now I think only 1 of the units is available. Building your own is the only other way I can think of but unless you're Bill Gates buying core front street property is out of the question.

Now, if someone decides to buy and rebuild at Sands and you could get your hands on them before they built...

The real issue is size, if you've been in a decent hall you'll know it takes a bit of space to do it right.



I'm rambling but thoughts are popping as I write.

Anyone else have any thoughts?

SimonB, If the best locations are going to be 2nd floor only, would it be wrong of me to ask employees for help up and down the stairs? I can Make it with back up just incase, I'm sick of falling.

Anybody I'm Not being FUNNY< you have know idea how it fells to have people look at you in this type of situation. YOU men know there is nothing worse than the way people can look at you in a bad situation. Like "no one has ever fallen before, sober or drunk.

SORRY< having a BAD day. Didn't mean to but in. SORRY

yea a movie theater would be nice to have on AC if it was done the right way.

I miss the movie theater as funk as it was, I still miss it.

You could get someone to carry you if you are not to big.

Aquamarina has 2 stores side by side with a sheetrock wall in between. I figure you can get 4 tables and a bar inside and it's a good spot for that type of business.

What would be a descent hourly wage for AC workers?
