It is looking like the economic down turn or recession is over.
We are in a really small town and our business is mainly supported by tourists driving past on their way to the ocean or the redwoods. The last several weeks we have had a lot of people stopping and making some sizable purchases. I am also seeing a lot of brand new cars with temporary tags. Plus the overall attitude is a lot better.

It has been a while since I have heard anyone use the excuse of a bad economy to justify not purchasing anything. When it comes to spending discretionary income we fall way down toward the bottom of the list with unusual and expensive burl furniture and such.

Now people are smiling, having fun and spending money.

If you hear anyone complaining about the economy, tell them that things are getting better. They probably just hadn't noticed yet.

Living in a tourist town, I depend on their trade much the same as you and hope that you are correct. I just opened my shop today and it is much too soon to tell but I expect the sales trend to be in an upswing (compared to recent years). Gas prices make come into play but probably not that much. [And having the world's No. 1 terrorist out of the picture sure won't hurt anything.] :thumbup:
