Our arrangement was that 2 of our 5 worked at a local restaurant and covered the bills while my brother and I worked the system.

Just like if she was a customer at a restaurant that she no longer enjoyed eating at. 

What about restaurants?  

Hello I have finally made it back to Yokosuka and have been making inquiries regarding possible venues but have not had very good luck.El Torito Mexican restaurant was suggested but I'm not sure about it having a space where a group of us can sit and talk. 

I have small studio on first floor of my home within walking distance to restaurants.

The expenses are deductible, and I usually use the time to explore the city and check out new restaurants...i love my job :-)All in all, don't be hesitant to look at homes within an hour's drive that offer low cost housing and high rents.

But that's why businesses exist, I mean why go to a restaurant when you could grow your own food and cook at home.  

Too many chain restaurants for me.

Lots of neat chefie-foodie type of restaurant upstarts there too

Some of the finishes are a a little sloppy, but all-in-all, it is nicer than most apartments in WeHo, and it comes with a big backyard.Driving around the area, the businesses looked old and distressed - old auto repair shops, no fancy restaurants, a Wal-Mart, some Mexican restaurants.
