Super Bowl week is underway. It could be worse. Back in 1984 when we hosted our first Super Bowl we were so pumped up down here at the Type and Gripe factory we actually made a grid map out of the area around the stadium and assigned reporters to every grid space. I thought the business editor was going to quit when he learned he was covering one of the men’s rooms inside the stadium.
We never learn. I talked to one restaurant owner today who said business will be so slow on Sunday he might as well close down. Most of us who had visions of renting our homes out for thousands of dollars a day, discovered that just didn’t happen.
But at least the weather is good and this should give us something to talk about until Gasparilla the week after.
