Attention Investors!
Get in on the ground floor (la parter) , folks.
If you (or someone you know) have money, there’s still time to seize an opportunity to establish what could be one of the wildest night clubs along the Danube. High revenue, low cost of living, relatively cheap labor, and a surrounding population hungry for something cool.
Imagine a terasa with dozens of tables spread across the grass. Three (count ‘em: 3!) stories of indoor baruri for upscale clients sipping on exotic cocktails and admiring the beautiful view of the riverside port. Throw a live DJ up top in the loft for entertainment.
With just a minimum of promotion, it’d be a sensation drawing Romanian and Serbian tourists from all over. Run the lethargic teens through a crash course in real customer service protocol and you could have a cash machine on your hands.
I suppose you might have to spread a few peanuts around to the local cops and small pond politicians to keep spirits high. And, yeah, sure, you’d need to get your hands a little dirty at the outset to polish the place up. But someone is going to do it.
It could be you.

It’s not that I don’t have $100 to pony up, it’s that I’m not sure how much the local mayor requires to change parties every two years. *headscratch*

Your point is salient as always.
I gather most readers can’t determine if I’m being sarcastic. And, if so, about what? Fact is, I’m serious. I think this could make a really wild club. The location is unique. The surrounding population would patronize it. Sure, it’s small, but I’ve seen Romanians carve more out of less.

Yeah, this one was hard to tell if you were joking. :-) However, I freely admit that the basic structural design appeals to me, and you’re right – any number of Romanian entrepreneurs could do it justice. I just would worry about standing on any of the floors… ;-)
How many people are in the surrounding 5 km, though? Nearest big city?
Maybe it should be a bed & breakfast instead….

Having actually climbed on the structure, it’s actually put together better than most blocs. :) Nearest big city… it’s IN Orsova.. 15-ish,000 people. However, the trick is in the “customer service” portion. ‘Impossibility’ is a word that comes to mind.
