Like many Americans in a period of economic stress, Iâve recently tried out a few side hustles. The first was hiring myself out as a gigolo. That was about as successful as David Bowersâ last mayoral campaign. Next I dipped my toes into a related field, business consulting.
My first client was the Texas Tavern, which by the way turns 91 on Saturday. Despite its Depression-era charm and 24/7 cheap grub, the Church Avenue eatery had a challenging 2020 â like every other fine-dining establishment.
Owner Matt Bullington declined to divulge details. But he acknowledged he bought zero Rolls Royces last year, which ought to tell you something. So he hired yours truly to come up with some innovative tactics to drum up sales.
Timmy Boyd paints trains for a living.
The locomotives and cars he coats with shiny colors arenât full size â and yet theyâre way too large to fit on the kind of train set that a child, or a dedicated rail fan of any age, might set up in the basement rec room.
Boyd works at Titan Trains, a small factory tucked away inside a mostly empty industrial building across from the historic Boones Mill train depot, part of a complex that also holds the town government offices.
The business makes one-eighth-scale model locomotives, train cars and tracks. The company also bills its products as âlarge-scale ride-on trains,â because you can in fact ride on them. A Titan Trains locomotive is comparable in size to a soapbox go-kart.
