Real Estate Diner

O.K. A while back I wrote about some of my new inspirations for my business and I alluded to a far out new concept that I was trying to formulate. Here goes the rough draft. The pieces aren't filled in yet.

What would anyone think of a 50's era commercial building, I envision an old roller skating rink, movie theater or bowling alley, configured to be a consortium of zones 50's style with a modern twist. A small town, Mayberry feel. An old fashioned malt shop with counter and few tables, a juke box, maybe a barber's chair in one corner, arcade games; just a few. A desk with a small informal work area. Maybe some local art work or craafts placed and hung about. A small boutique type section with unusual items. An old phone booth or two. All of this would be open, accessible and be configured to provide wi-fi and would be free except for merchandise and refreshments. I would give someone else the right to operate all of the revenue generating centers except of course, the real estae part. That would be the desk in the corner. People could come and hang out. read. Play checkers, get a cold drink or a cup of coffee. Of course it would be my primary real estate location and would lend itself to small toen meeting type seminars or larger classes. I am certain discussions would take place and it would give old timers a place to hang. I would decorate the place in 50's decor with local memorabilia and maps, photos etc. I think that it would be a warm, friendly and inviting plce for people to come and to of course discuss real estae. I am still formulating this one, but, I like it nd I definitely believe that it has promise. What do you think of this concept?
