Recently, three restaurants in Green Cove Springs closed within one week. One was from a national chain, Huddle House. Yesterday, one of the smaller restaurants was being opened again under a new name. That location has already had three restaurants in it and all failed. The entrepreneurial spirit still exists as folks determine that they can make a go of it even though others have failed.
Yesterday, the police department voted to get out of the Police Officers Union. Our sheriff, Rick Bessler, said it was a vote of confidence in his administration. The people around here have great respect for our sheriff, we are lucky to have him.
Section eight housing in this town has a sign up on the highway stating that there are places to rent. It has been up for over two weeks. It is my belief that more Mexicans have moved away.

A while ago I read that 3 of 4 small businesses go bankrupt within the first two years. That was BEFORE the current recession. The most common cause was under-capitalization. The failure rate must be much higher in this current economic environment.
A week ago we went to lunch with David (on stopover) at a Sizzler near the airport. What a great experience. The food was good the selection was ample, the portions were large, the service was good and the price made it all a great value. There were 4 Sizzlers in our area when we moved here in 1984 and they are all still in business. If you give people what they want at an affordable price you have a good chance at success.

I don't know, but some of them were Mexican Indians that did not speak Spanish. If they give up government housing, and they have to stay someplace, maybe they went back to southern Mexico.
