The problem with Sandy Point was not about keeping the menu the same, it was the effort put into keeping the place going. Having lived next door to the Damons for years, I knew how many hours they put in to make the restaurant a success. The new people didn't live on the property, showed up mid afternoon and didn't treat their employees as well.
