Thoughts for 2011
How many restaurants can stay in business in NYC?
How do the hotels/motels in Ocean City, MD charge the outrageous prices that they do?
How does Syracuse University market itself as NYC's College Basketball Team? They must market to the geographically challenged!
Why don't we have good deli's and coffee shops in the DC Metro area?
Why can I not buy decent bread in the DC Metro area?
