Identifying Local Opportunities

Identifying Local Opportunities



“Wekiva Parkway's cashless tolls are Central Florida first”
The Central Florida Expressway Authority has just unveiled a new cashless toll road at Wekiva Parkway, the only way this particular toll will take payment is via a transponder on your vehicle and eventually electronic license plates. Consumers are balking at the idea of the cashless idea and having no option but to avoid that toll or pay a fine if you don’t have a transponder.

Disney bypassing courts with time-share foreclosures
Disney became frustrated with the way the foreclosure system was working, the process was taking too long and was becoming costly. So they took a new approach in handling the situation by doing a trustee foreclosure or non-judicial foreclosure. Instead of going through the court systems the auctions are being held at lawyer’s offices representing Disney who handle the sale making this process faster and cheaper in the long run.

FADING ANTIQUE STORES SEEKING A NEW NICHE
Antique stores are trying to find new ways to survive in the changing demographic and market. Younger consumers are less interested in owning vintage pieces and mass produced items that are less expensive are taking over the market. Some antiques dealers have found that repurposing some of the items that are of less value and giving it a face lift to represent what is selling today sells a lot faster and at a bigger price tag than some of its more expensive antique pieces.

  1. Hi Joselyn,
    You found some interesting articles. I have already had a similar issue with what was mentioned in the first article when I forgot my sun pass on a road trip and the toll only accepted exact change which I did not have so they took a picture of my car and I had to pay online at a later date. I also though the last article was interesting in that they were being innovative and found ways to repurpose items in order to sell more. If you would like to check out my local opportunities blog post you can check it out here: http://www.emmastetterent3003.blogspot.com/2016/01/identifying-local-opportunities.html
