I would open a pizza place directly across the street from a Weight Watchers. And I'd have a huge fan to vent the pizza-smelling air into the street. :cool:

A small software development company. You know the fish screen saver that came with the WinXP Plus! thing? I think that company is jsut one guy, and he really only has one product, but I'm pretty sure he does well for himself on it. Something like that. A few products, maybe 5-10 employees, that would be cool.

Space tourism. Just take people into orbit for a couple hrs. I'm sure plenty of people would want to do it.

Selling things that go in cars, because ricers like stickers, which are free advertising. Details on this later.

Something with no overhead, like teaching. Have people come to your home to learn piano, how to use their PC, tutor students... something like that.

I would start either a shopping service or teach people locally about Hot Deals.

I already help friends, family and co-workers with Hot Deals on computer, electronics and DVD.

And a few times I have already helped people buy loss leader cars, charging them just $100 cash per new vehicle.

Alcohol store. I have talked to two peeps my wife's family knows and alcohol sales are booming. They make some bling bling.

East coast people can also get stuffs from Newegg can't they?

I'd start either a inport/export business.
