I propose the
Cybercafe part to raise enough revenue to pay for the space
but I down't really know if you could generate enough to keep out of the
red.
Other thoughts and ideas please.....

Simple, serve good food of a wide variety, and put it near one of the local
Intel plants. Between Ronlar Acres and Jones Farm would probably be the
best. The down side being that rent around here for the kind of space
needed is probably murder! For places that don't have the advantage of Intel
plants to draw a crowd,
I'd suggest placing it near a College. For either including some kind of
gaming set up might be helpful. Both multi-player computer games, and
stuff like "Magic:The Adiction".
Hmm, not a bad idea. Start collecting classic arcade games and create a
an arcade with classic games. You'd have a good target market:
middle-aged people wanting to play the games they enjoyed in their youth
with more quarters to spend than they did when they were teens. It could
provide a good stream of income to support the museum.
