Jerry,

While there is a lot of BS above, keep in mind the restaurant biz is very unstable, even when the economy is going great. Restaurants, nite clubs, bars, etc.., have an incredibly high rate of failure--that's a fact. Most of the restaurants in this part of the world are still jammed to capacity, and the bailout seems to have no effect one way or another on them. And, if anyone really believes the bailout program is working, take a good look at what the stock market did this past week. I'm sure you will find another location to fill the gap, and even during difficult financial times there is always a way to keep the money flowing in your direction.

Good Luck, and I sincerely hope things work out for you,

Gary
