The Goose has been a post office, a b&b, a gift shop. Its most successful incarnation was as a cafe, with a juke box they usta blast and dance in the street on Saturday nights. Not a lot of town left these days, though the Eleven Point River still flows through it and the River's Edge Cafe across the street still does a good lunch business.
This being the season of finances, I'm trying to figure out how to make the Goose pay for its feed. There was the rental plan, but I really don't know who other than deer hunters wants to vacation in the middle of nowhere Ozark-America. So these other concepts have been floated:
Internet Cafe
Psychic Reader
Campground
Kayak Rental
Boiled Peanut Stand
What do you think?

I think it should be advertised on da list as a writer's retreat where one would go to write one's best seller, duh.
Artist retreat is good.
Perhaps a home for wayward undies? A place where they can mend their ways?
Haven for lost toys?
Is it on a flyway? Hideaway for birders? Home for lost herpers?
Otherwise, the mystic reader concept is good.
The problem with the damn artists is, is they don't lay the golden egg for the Goose. . .
Boiled peanuts.
Live the dream.
On the other hand, there was some thought we were going to have a junk yard.
B & C Junk City, South.
Develop adjacent properties and turn it into a chic-but-offbeat shopping mecca where all your artist friends can sell their wares.
With that porch, I think a drive-up taco stand is called for...
'Glass Block Tacos'?
I am thinking perhaps artists' retreat with small select group of paying guests with teacher/leader. This could be plein air, poetry, nature photography, writers workshop, craft guilds, etc, etc. and advertised in the trade mags.
Are you all signing up?
I mean y'all.
Quite possibly, yes...
The Biologist could lead a nature learning experience
