Writer's Block: I'm The Boss

I'd open a sort of brasserie/pub called "Local" and do all the trendy shit like a focus on local foods. But also I'd want my joint to be a pub for my favourite neighbourhood. Like UK slang for "your local" or "the local" referring to the nearest pub to your house. I wouldn't mind eschewing "organic" as a marketing term. I'd like to remind people that environmentalism isn't about protecting yourself from the unfashionable agriculture around you with wads of yuppie food stamps.
Then I remember how horrifically bad the chances of surviving in the restaurant world are.
So alternatively I'd open a hardware shop called "Union" that sources only things made where the working and living conditions of the employees are up to an acceptable standard. It would have to be trendy and up-scale because the actual cost of things is rather expensive when you pay people fairly.
Really I'd love to operate businesses as art projects to recalibrate peoples perceptions of where they are, what things cost and how food tastes when it depends on the things surrounding us. Which is a sure-fire sign I should never get into business to make money.
