    Good luck Jason, my father was in that business for 25 years in Houston & it is one of the toughest business to be in.

    Jason, my brother lives up in the area. Less than two miles from Freds actually. I will throw it to him and see if he knows anyone in the area wanting to open up a restaurant. I know he's not in the market for it, but might know someone who will be.

    Best of luck!

    If I knew anything about running a restaurant, that would be sweet. Don't know the area, but is there any retail nearby? I've had an idea about a retail store, but I just don't know how well it would go over.

    By the way, I see you have an Esprit - drop me a line if you're interested in joining up with the Lotus group in town.

    Retail store.....hmmmmm.. depending on the product it may do well. The people living in the area are the 20 - 30 something croud buying 1920's houes and fixing them up. Its close to an area called oakhurst which is pretty nice.

    The building is in an older historical street with about 50% of the buildings restored and new business moving in. I own the building next door which has a telemarketing company. Some of the buildings are gheto and I am tryng to work out deals to purchase them as fix them up.

    I am on the lotus club mailing list but since they usually meet in Dallas I havent been able to make it to their dinners. I have a few local friends with Loti and we get together sometimes. Are you a lotus owner?

    Thanks for your interest
    Jason

    Seems like a corvette bar would do better in that part of town...

    Hey Jason,
    I'll have to check out the area, sounds pretty cool. I wish I had the extra cash to do stuff like you're doing. And yes, I have an Esprit V8, used to have an 88 Esprit before.

    Sean, I PMed you. Really it takes more imagination than cash! There are a lot of distressed buildings around that can be purchased for a song. Are you a member of the Texas Lotus Club? Your Esprit V8 is real nice!

    Jason, do you know anything about the new biker bar / icehouse that opened on East Belknap? I heard something about it on the radio but I forget the name.
