S#!t people from SJDS say....

Shuffle the deck..

[bill_bly_ca]

And this one came up just after

Brass knuckles, mickey, Vape pen and a pot. Sounds like a fun weekend there.

[bill_bly_ca]

Apparently the Brass knuckles sold fast and now the mickey is paired with a knife - Not a Crocodile Dundee knife - but a good sized one.

[Jonh]

I'm betting it's not that kind of pot

The Tarot card readers read the Tarot cards.

We had heard verbally on our visit in April that this place was for sale - They did have a constant clientel though opposed to all the other spots in town. The referenced web site in the post stated sale is confidential, so one can assume that confidential sale was not cutting it and now it is listed publicly - Priced @ 70K - Kinda typical as a restaurant will swallow your soul at 70+ hours a week.

I'm thinking of something less labor intensive,, like a yoga mat rental business.

This the 3rd resturant this year to fit this rend...

1) Open resturant
2) Get good reviews
3) sell after 6 months or less in business.

This one is listed at $22K and turn key.

What’s the market for Italian food in SJDS? Are there enough gringos left to support it?

Re: White face to support - When we were they in March it looks like the entire place revolves around dinner and a few drinks crowd and becomes crickets after 8 - We will check again this coming Feb/March

Lunch and B-feast were dead

Relatives went to granada, found the calzada to be depressing--old foreigners with chavalas, drugies, bums

I've always thought a Country Western themed bar (with food of course) would attract Nicaraguan and Gringo attention.

I saw a truck loaded with three of those mechanical bulls heading into Mexico the last time I was in Nogales.
What male Nicaraguan could resist that challenge.


I even have a great (albeit too long) name: Imagine red neon for the first line,, and bright yellow for the second)


You're a Bad Girl
and
You Need to Be Spanked



The layout didn't carry over,, but you get the idea.

I have a bad habit of hijacking threads,,, sorry

It was tied to the Calzado,, the idea of a CW bar.

But I wish there was one in Estelí

Both Estelí and Granada have impressive hippicos.

No - I put the video of the day here and did not realize for a couple hours..

[bill_bly_ca]

Wow - I think SJDS has hit peak "Chele" ....


The super express referenced is the across from the old Eskimo which was made into a "Pronto" gas station like store last spring.

Yuppy food is becoming the new normal. Boutique restaurants with panini, frappe, and pastries with sugar are popping up all over, even here in the boonies.
Good news, la Casita is open for dine in with limited seating for some healthier food. Tkae out, too.

[Jonh]

Tuffed toats, yum.

[bill_bly_ca]

Well that is a surprise...

Adhering to the recent model of "Build a brand and quickly unload" the Hip was just put up for sale, apparently today.

This was the most popular place while we were down there past spring.

"The Hip" is an homage to "the tragically hip", a Canadian band of note within the country, pretty well unknown outside of the country. The front man, Gord Downie, died a couple years back of brain cancer.

This lady gets it - All the others telling her that is not her fault are going to be the 7 out of 10 who leave dejected within 5 yrs...

Happens everywhere, we used to leave our front door open.


They got about $350 but left all my documents -thank God!


A lesson learned. It was the son of a previous worker,, but in the small community we live in,, best to just walk away.
We would have gotten more than $350 of ill will if we pursued it.


At least NicaVille doesn't have the legion of homeless druggies that we see in the US.
I see them just walk into stores and pick up something to eat, and walk right back out.
The stores have security, but no one stops them.
