re: Opening a reception hall/facility?

As someone who is planning a wedding currently, I can confirm that the GBR area has a dearth of options. The options that do exist cost an arm and a dick for venue/food/alcohol. They're all booked up until y3k. Understandable and I'm not upset about it, just wish I was on the receiving end.

Social media marketing is effective. But, it's usually not THE MOST EFFECTIVE form of marketing for a company. I work in online marketing and I've seen a lot of companies hire someone or spend gratuitous amounts of money on social media before they've even given thought to SEO or a solid website.

I play racquetball (and I'm considerably younger than you). It's a sport that really contours to the player's age. If you've incredibly athletic, quick, and intense...so is your racquetball game. If you're 60, slowed down a bit, and looking to play a slower pace of game...you can do that too....

Right. I agree possible doesnt equal typical.

"without paying more than 30% of their income".
Why is THAT a condition? Housing is one of the most expensive items for any family. And why is it a 2-BR? A studio can house a family of 2 easily. A 1-BR can easily house 3-4.
