Around here brew pubs/sports bars are the current thing. We have never had the proliferation of corner bars that you see in the Midwest, they have always been shady places on the edges of the poor part of town. I guess that comes from living in the Bible Belt and a dry county. When they first built the grocery store a mile down the road from me, they couldn't sell beer or wine, dry township. It got voted in a year or two later. Funny part was you could go 1.5 miles down the same road to a stop and rob and buy all the beer you wanted, it is just over the county line.
We are partial owners in a few pieces of commercial real estate as well as a silent partners in some commercial ventures. So far they are holding their own.
My retirement plan is to live in my Airstream...hopefully somewhere in a temperate climate.
