How about a huge retail shop that only has maybe 10 dust covered items for sale, with music blaring and a kid at the checkout binge-watching TikTok? Or maybe a food place where you pay (and tip) ahead of time, seat yourself, wipe your own table and wait 45 minutes for the food?

watchful,
That's a great idea for a store. I can only think of two or three stores in the valley who sell these items. Let's hear from SOCALMOUNTAINS people what would be a great fit for the property? Any ideas?

Huge thanks to CalTrans for cleaning up all the tacky political signage along the roadways in BBC!

Hmm. How about a store that sells "Big Bear Lake, CA" clothing, post cards, and plastic figurines?

I wonder if they are leasing or selling? Selling would be worse as someone may decide we need another strip mall in the village...

Yeah how'd that work out for them? Now they have no tenant.
Bummer, I need my jack taco fix. lol

Yeah i miss jack. I heard the owners upped the rent by 10k, which is a shame cause jack was there for at least 50 years...

Ideally? A Jack in the Box. 😁

Though I wouldn't turn away a Del Taco.

So in an ideal world what would go on where the Jack in the Box was? (It's on the market. Approx 1/2 acre)

True all. And, like Doo, our home has its own independent power source. However, out-of-control PSPS's create widespread hardship in Big Bear Valley. If we don't bring this up, the PUC fools won't have these complaints in their meeting notes -- it won't be on the record. Better to speak up about it than fume in silence.

Good point! But some people don't have the $30k in cash to fork out for a solar system. And if you lease, well, then you're paying them for your power, so it doesn't really save you anything in the end.

If y'all had opt'd for BVES to install a reverse meter ~a decade ago and jumped on NEM-S grid crediting using ur home's solar array, you'd not even have an electric bill (minus piddly usage service fees).

But that was perhaps like a stock market investment, to the uninformed...
