Raise the Rent?
It’s been sometime since I have posted anything. Mostly because we have been very busy. Our newest conundrum is that our landlord has over looked the fact that we are headed into an economic recession and wants to raise our rent $300.00 this year $400.00 next year and $500.00 the subsequent year. I think he forgot to look at the FACT that even Bear Stearns went belly up, not a good thing to be seeing right now. Bear Stearns was founded in 1927 and lived through the Great Depression and now they went belly up. HELLO? Anyone else see a problem with this? Recession, less spending, more rent? During a time when we should all be helping each other out Capitalism rears its ugly head and someone feels like its time to get rich. But I guess if you look at our Oil Companies which are posting record earnings one would think that, “What the hell I should be a millionaire too!” We are however working on the problem. We are looking into staying one more year at our current location, but we are also working with a couple of realtors looking into other store sites; heck, even our realtors think our landlord is nuts.
Our e-store is almost a reality! Tom Kopke, in Florida, has been working very hard on getting our store up and running. With any luck it will be up and running in April sometime! Ye-Ha! Well, we’ll keep you posted on wants going on and where we are going. Keep your fingers crossed and keep us in your thoughts!
