On Second Thought...
Arizona is pretty far away. Not saying that I wouldn't want to go, just saying I don't think I have enough money to move right now. In a few months that may be a different story.
But, I was thinking about this the other day. Westminster is a college town. Not much to do in town though. Especially where the college is located. It is in a mostly residential area. And it isn't a good residential area either. Think of Johns Hopkins, but with less murders. And more average intelligence.
You know what would look good there? A place for the students to hang out. A coffee house/deli/ice cream bar. I'm thinking old fashioned counter with soda taps and many different flavored syrups. If someone wants they could come and sit at the bar. Especially good if they are underage. And then, if they don't want to sit at the bar they could go to the common area. An area made to look like a living room. There would be some couches, a chair or too and a couple of small coffee tables (it is a coffee house). There would be interaction and socialization there. Friends could come from the school and unwind there before getting back to their studies. And if they were really hungry they could order some sandwiches or something like that and eat it on the outdoor patio or in a small eating section with tables and such in one corner. That would be the more traditional eating area, and overflow from the 'living room.'
And, perhaps, there is a second floor with a couple of couches and with a more subdued atmosphere. This could be an area where students come to study while taking in a drink or ice cream. They could do that downstairs, but that would get noisy if there were a lot of people. So instead there would be the second floor for studying.
And that's my idea. I like it, I think it has potential. Now I just need some investors to make this dream a reality. Any takers?
