My husband and I always swore that there were two things we'd never buy: a boat, and a restaurant. We live near the water now, so you might think we've been tempted to break our vow... and you'd be right! But we didn't buy a boat, we bought Locos, a (small) franchise bar and grill. It's been a lot of work, mostly for my husband, but there are some fun moments, too. We host a live band every Sunday night, so we are always looking for new talent. Last night after dinner we went to three local bars to hear new (to us) music; it's been a long time since I've been barhopping, but it was so much fun. We visited a small pub in the village, a beachy pizza joint (where the band was playing outside), and the bar in a large resort on the beach. We heard some great music and made some new friends..... 10/25/2015
