It's that time of year when the number of visitors decreases and business owners feel they can afford to take advantage of the chance to get off the rock.
For example, Ella Anderson, owner of the St. John Sun Times, is taking a summer vacation. In the latest issue of her magazine/newspaper, she explained, "It's all numbers. We depend on advertising … and when our clients are not doing well, we don't do well."
Anderson talked about the facts-of-St-John-life, running a business in a seasonal economy, at a recent Rotary meeting, "So," she wrote, "I'm opting to accept the current situation. We will be back, better than ever, in October."
