It is scary.I spent my summers as a kid in Bar Harbor, Ogunqit Beach. Very sad. Course I live in Ventura California,They bankrupted 2 of my friends that owned pubs

Can you give me the names of the places the put out of business? They were in Maine, right?

No they were in Ventura, California. Sorry, I did a poor job of writing on that one:) They passed a smoking ban about 5 years ago in all pubs and restaurants..in fact all public buildings. Two of my friends owned little(but successful)businesses; one had been around 35 years, the other one 50 years. They both went under in less than a year. Thousands have gone broke in the past 5 years.
