Russell you were in MT before you moved? I know this is OT.

Yes .... and no.

this cart sits right off main street in Keene in front of the railroad tavern .... they must pay the city for the spot

I think these ventures can be moneymaking if you are not limited to the fairs. If you can arrange and pay a yearly street vendor license to the town, it can be very worthwhile.

I will agree w/that statement.  I know the regular hot dog vendors in our downtown area clean up.

Well they used to - now just 1 guy cleans up because of the local "mafia" getting rid of all the independant competition.

If this is what this cart is doing & the city's "permission" is cheap enough then go for it.

Dang what a scam!

As has often been said, a boat is a hole in the water which you try to fill by shoveling in money.

The other famous saying: the two happiest days in a man's life are when he finally buys the boat he's dreamed of, and the day he sells it.

Gotta admit, I'd love to have a party barge on Winni. But it's just not a big priority until the lottery hits.

ask this guy for financial statements showing earnings from the last couple seasons.

Hear, hear!
Never buy a business without a few years' worth of financial statements.
Look at the numbers with a critical eye.
Personally, I'd go over them with a pro as well. Same reason you take a car to an auto mechanic before buying it.

Good advice, Goddard. I didn't think of this right off, but that would be critical to do.

That's how she does her best work. 

But after whiskey... well, you don't want to arm-wrestle her. She's wirrrrry!

I pour the Newcastle on to the financial statements -- then wave my hands over it -- press the papers to my head and chant wildly. Only after that do the financials speak the truth about the future business viability...
