[quote="Treehugger"]The Today show is a great thing for MRG. It's funny how everyone feels the need to take sides regarding the economic health of the Valley. it's not really a take sides issue. Economics in the Vally are not good. Yeah, businesses open and close for a variety of reasons, but somebody "having enough of the business" would usually sell if they're doing decent numbers, not just close. And a number of properties just closed. Sure new places open, but that doesn't mean they'll make money. I know one Win mentioned - Big picture - owner said to a salesman that they're "hemorrhaging money". And look at the night club/bar count. No Mad Mountain, no Tooth, no Gags, and still it's hard to find more than one crowded location on a Saturday night. last weekend should have been packed with party-goers everywhere, but it wasn't even close. Do you really want what the Phoenix delivers? Green Cup and Spotted Cow have been food locations for years. They're not additional choices. Also, those aren't 3 restaurants for sale, they're 3 properties. The businesses are gone. I applaud and admire Win for what he's taken on, but he's not here to save the Vally; he's here to make a profit at Sugarbush. If i spent that money I'd also be worried about Sugarbush first.
SB is the valley. If SB does well and draws more people to the valley, the area restaurants/bars/retailers will do better.
