Default Trivia...

Does anyone remember the name of the seafood restaurant that was located where Cody's is now? We ate there one time and then they closed down. I've been trying to remember the name of it and can't. I hate it when that happens so I need help! Thanks much!

Full name was Up The Creek Fish Camp. And there's a few still around.
Where Sonny's is now, used to be Whiskey Creek Wood Fire Grill. And they still have a few locations left too.
Wonder who will be next?

True, I never had a good experience at any Up The Creek that I've ever been in.

Default 5years and the kiss of death

most retail here will not last longer than 5 years,,, TV makes them sign a 5 year lease,, takes a HUGE major % of sales as blood money on top of the rent, the rent raises every year as well as the % going up,,, then if you have a descent business and are wanting to renew the lease (which most cant afford to) they know your sales and raise the terms to where you just can't survive. All those terms are dictated regardless of the economy. So just hang in there if you dont like what is there, they will leave and something else will roll the dice, for a tax write off ,, unless of course if it is owned by the TV they have a pass.
