We have a thought. Close to TV, but perhaps not in boundaries (to avoid fees etc.). Build a quaint set of small buildings to house "International Cuisine Villages". The small restaurant buildings in a circle set around a central fountain area with shared outside seating. Key would be delicious food at fair cost. Eat in, outside, or carryout. Each building, perhaps 6 of them would have their country's flag and individual in/out design features (like Epcot). Start with Europeanlike cuisine fare - each restaurant - Greek, Italian, French, Polish, German, Jewish deli style (example).
Location would be key - accessible to most in TV, and perhaps closer to 441/27 to appeal to outsiders. If it's a hit - an "Asian" Cuisine Village could be built...
Perhaps funding could come from wealthy investors - BUT also open funding to TV residents to buy 'shares', like in $1K increments. We could share in profits - and no doubt visit often to increase revenue... And, a 5% discount for TVrs with ID - perhaps an incentive like, eat at each of the 6 places in 6 months and get a free lunch with purchase of one at any of the 6 places.
What do you think?

Prepare yourself for the largely negative response that is coming. You must remember that most people could never even imagine going on their own, starting from scratch to commercialize a "dream". Consequently, as you sift through the comments from the naysayers, don't be upset. Just put the comments under a microscope because there will always be some valid points that, for most of the commenters are impenetrable walls, but are in reality just challenges. There is absolutely NOTHING that is impossible given the right preparation and execution.
