End of the Season

Good Morning everyone,

Well it has happened, the summer season has ended and with the end comes the slooooowwwwwwwwww days on Port Clinton.  Were do the residence of PC and Ottawa County go in the off season?  It is almost a ghost town.  Plenty of free parking Downtown.  The streets are deserted.  The seats are empty.  The cash resgister is NOT ringing and we business owners are trying to decide how bad is it going to get this winter.

As business owners, we need to look forward and see the future.  Well I for one have a very cloudy crystal ball.  I cannot see the future but I have guesses that this winter is going to be very very slim.  Many of us will not make it through.  It cost businesses so much to just open, pay employees and hope that customers choose us.  In the restaurant business the franchises and pizza places have taken over the market.  We can offer better food, better service and the capability of making change without the use of a calculator but since people are "lazy" or "too busy", they choose drive thru's and delivery.

I hope that everyone realizes that when the local businesses are gone so is the community.

I will conitnue this rant at a later time.   BUY LOCAL
