Spring Break

Spring Break in Seaside was quiet compared to most years. Granted that did lead to less business for the police to deal with. But that also led to LESS BUSINESS. I am sure many businesses felt the crunch as they usually rely on Spring Break to boost sales till Summer hits. Unfortunately for the small businesses in town, there was no traffic. Car lines that usually push past ave U to the South and 24th/Holladay on the North, were non-existent.

Restaurants all had plenty of seating, parking spaces were ample, and noone blocked my view when I wanted to take a picture of the sunset at the turnaround from my car window. Sounds like paradise? Well at 32 degrees it was a frigid one, with hail, snow and freezing rain. No wonder the crowds stayed away. But after the November storm and getting businesses back up and running, many were hoping this would be just the thing to put them back in the black. No such luck. Hopefully Summer will bring the crowds that locals love to hate. And we can again regain our status as a hot tourist spot. Otherwise the upstart businesses that cater to tourists will see some bankruptcies, and locals will miss out on some yummy new restaurants, and money in their pockets.
