Jeff,
Don't understand the fascination with FL but hey it's their money.
More gambling and less competition in the other town. Lower property
prices, lower taxes, less corruption for licenses (from what I've
heard, only been to FL once), central location to attract Basque
from CA and ID, (if the casino airline is still functioning) free
transport for potential customers just setup some side advertising
deal with the casino or airline, annual festival, experienced
Basque chefs to draw from...Again just saying.
