Being able to get Paramoiunt up and Running was great. It foes bring people
in. People
spend money IF u get them to stay overnight OR lure them to other businesses in
the city.
Do they stop at DD or Franks or MCd or come downtown? ASK the business owners -
do
they want NOTHING on the boardwalk or for now, hopefully get spillover from
someones
elses promos on the BW. Typlcially the venue gets minimal $ off the event. They
get rent
and maybe a % of sales. now it takes what to lure someone to put a show on in
AP?? Thats
where the venue has to charge enough in extras - like BEER . Thankfuly, most of
those
tacky banners were removed this summer. Last year, under partners, there were
more
coors banners strung everywhere.
People come to AP They see it "clean". (call it smoke and mirrors but it is
what it is). What
happens next. People start asking how much is this house or that condo....then
maybe you
get wila new resident. Maybe somone like Jack or Dan or have chuztpah to stand
up and
make a difference. To call it like it is.
So efforts of MM wil come out over the next few years - they will now if and
when they get
a return on their/theuir partners investments. They even managed to make the
4th ave
pavill look clean - even though offices dont belong on ground level retail on a
boardwalk.
That to me was real, real stupid. Prime retail space. And no public
restrooms.showers...dumb dumb.
Events bring people. people will spend money. Hopefully in AP and not before
they reach
AP or leave AP.
One step at a time. Sometimes back, sometimes forward
