If you could own your own business, what would you like it to be?
If you could own your own business, what would you like it to be?
TAMMY PAYNTER, Kettering: “A karaoke bar, because I’ve never been in a karaoke place where people weren’t generally having a great time.”
PRISCILLA WOODS, Dayton: “A homeless shelter, because there are so many people in need. It would be good to have one with teachers and doctors and everything they need to get back on their feet.”
JAKE GU, Dayton: “A bar is something I’d enjoy. I like the friendly, relaxed atmosphere where people can get together after a hard days work and just socialize.”
STEVEN JAMES, Dayton: “A clothing store with men’s fashion. There’s not enough men’s fashion in the world, but especially in Dayton. We just have little sections within department stores.”
BARBARA JONES, Dayton: “A clothing and shoes boutique for plus-size ladies.”
NICOLE DOOLEY, West Carrollton: “A clothing store — something that carries my kind of style, something like Forever 21.”
KATIE BENDEL, Columbus: “I would want to own LexisNexis, because I bet they make a lot of money.”

A cheap beer joint and one where you would be allowed to smoke.

I would start a union rehab center where these unbalanced neurotic whiners could engage in toxin cleansing and behavioral modification accompanied by prayer vigils where redemption is granted prior to any voting rights or reentering into society.

A drive through grocery store with limited products so shoppers would never have to leave their cars. Its name… GO-CERY.

Well, Well, Well, KARON is back talking about High Speed Rail.. Have not missed your ramblings at all. So go back to where you have been. As for me. I would buy a buliding big enough to open a Haunted House, put some people to work in Cons’t and Electrical jobs, wood working and so on. It would open the first Friday weekend after labor day, run to the end of Oct. I coud have 50 to 100 Monsters and give part of the money to the charity Homesforourtroops.org Be the best in the Dayton area.. WHY, well the money is great. Haunted Houses are a gold mine, It’s all a CASH biz, that and you can make enough in 2 months to lay off the rest of the years.. OK I just love scaring the Yell out of people. Heck maybe I could have a Haunted Train ride inside that KARON could run.

I would run a high class bordello. Everyone is getting s-c-r-e-w-e-d in dayton and I’d just like to make some money at it.

I’m not sure why so many people scoff at Karon’s idea for high speed trains. I actually think it’s a good idea. It works in other countries, so why not America? When I lived in Washington, D.C., I rode the subway all the time. It was much move convenient than driving…I hope some day soon cross country train travel makes a comeback. I’d much rather ride a train than deal with the hassle of flying.

A privateinvestigation firm like the one who works to free the wrongly convicted only mine would investigate the people who abuse SS, SSI and public assitance. I’m positive I could save the goverment and taxpayers billions of dollars. I am in disbelief that the goverment has not already done this. I’m tired of paying for people’s free ride. I know there are some honest deserving people out there but the abusers out number them by far.

A newspaper that allowed opinion, such as “Free Clinic” to stay posted and not be removed due to leftist/communist comittment to lies.

You don’t have to look that far. Who benefits (the most) from throwing wrenches into the machinery? By the way, society does prosecute welfare fraud much more efficiently than the trillion-dollar white collar variety. Jail not good enough for you, Wall Streeters? Waaah.

If I had the money, I would buy a big bldg and open it up for people to sleep in, a little shop where they could pick out items to dress to find work, and a kitchen and dining area for food. Personally, I believe all churches that believe in God should already be opening part of their churches up to the homeless.
