            <description><![CDATA[ The Arts Council is busy beautifying the Visitor Centre (it's looking good!). Does anyone out there have any picnic tables, chairs, small tables, etc. that they could donate for our lovely back yard?  Tourists and locals can tour the newly revamped Visitor Center, check out the visitor information, browse the new arts gift shop, enjoy our mini art gallery and then step out into the back yard to sit a spell and savor the sounds of the herons.<br />
<br />
If you have outdoor furniture to donate, please let me know. And drop in to say hello on the long weekend. We will be operating from 9:30 to 4:30 seven days a week from the May long weekend to Labour day.]]></description>

The pm I sent is not in my &quot;sent&quot; folder, and I don't know what happened! Barbara, is it somehow technically related to the removal of their post? If so, does that mean they never received my pm?]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[ As a general bystander, my understanding is that If a property owner leases out a building to a business using a triple net lease, the tenant will be responsible for paying the building's property taxes, building insurance and the cost of any maintenance or repairs the building may require during the term of the lease. <br />
Because the tenant is covering these costs (which would otherwise be the responsibility of the property owner), the rent charged in the triple net lease is generally lower than the rent charged in a standard lease agreement.]]></description>

Exactly why we shut our service down for the winter.  That and poor ridership during the week from locals.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[ Rents are high.  Staffing in summer is unpredictable.  Artisan square does not draw as many tourists many of whom either don't know about it or are not willing to hike the hill. And inexperienced management can be an issue.  Yet there are several others that seem to survive.  Miksa, Tuscany and the Snug seemed to have held on for a long time. Lets hope the left bank can make it.<br />
It is difficult to depend only on summer business.  And how many tourists want to ferry ride to Bowen in the dead of winter?  Its a tough sell.]]></description>
