Over here, we work for a property consultant/investor type client that calls itself, "Lucre Property".
LUCRE. How can you name yourself that and get away with it? They don't get much business, so I guess they don't get away with it.

there's a really popular soup stand near here called Smokin' Bowls. I'll have to snap a pic next time I go by it.

There used to be a diner also called The 419 Eatery. They had the "Got a minute" joke for their tagline. I think that once the novelty wore off they went out of business.

I've played around with the thought of starting a bakery/cawfee shop called Wake & Bake. I'd stock it full of organic fru fru stuff and hemp-based ingredients, and I guarantee there are plenty of douchers out there who would be happy to give me their money for it

you could do well with a place like that in the right locale, but i get the feeling the right locales are usually overstaurated with those types of shops

North Carolina I assume?
it's a strange place for sure. very conservative but there are leftist hippie enclaves everywhere.
the organic thing and co-ops seem to be popular up there for some reason.
I also noticed there was a lot of Mexican restaurants in the mountains and I couldn't for the life of me figure out why.

aye, that would be NC. i didn't get much of a conservative vibe from asheville in particular, it seemed like the whole city was a leftist hippie enclave, but i was only there for all of two and a half hours and most of that time was in an art museum

Well shit. It used to work, that's why I didn't bother checking it. It used to go to Mole Station Nursery in Wales.
