These are hard times for small business owners and small businesses. There is no way they can be sure what their future federal tax burden will be, and at the same time, towns and states have raised some of their taxes and fees in order to raise revenue. Of course, these taxes will be passed on to the consumer, making some consumers cut back on their consuming.
One of our local landmarks in Plainville is Don's Diner on Route 1A near the center of town. If you are on facebook, you can do a search and find them. Every Wednesday, my husband and I take two of our grandchildren to lunch at Don's Diner. It is a great place, and the chef makes a great BLT! But business in the world of diners is down, and Don's Diner needs our support. They are open from 6:30 am to 2:30 pm Tuesday through Friday and 7 am to 1 pm Saturday and Sunday. Stop in and say hello. It's a friendly place with great food!!! (The 'hand-cut' french fries are great!)
