Franchise Expo South under way to link business owners, operators
If you're living in South Florida and you're tired of working in corporate America, you have career options in the franchised world. Probably too many, if you have the money.
South Florida is a growth market for franchise businesses, according to Steve Greenbaum, chairman of the International Franchise Association, which is hosting its second annual Franchise Expo South in Miami through Sunday.
"This market is underserved," said Greenbaum. "And this market is the gateway to Central and South America and the Caribbean."

Make My Day
After a while, everything started running together, and I couldn't remember where I'd been without a datebook and an atlas. But the memories of one conference will remain with me for the rest of my life, no matter how hard I try to forget. I was standing outside the conference hotel in Louisville, Ky., with my friend Brian. We had just been to a Louisville Bats baseball game that night; we were chatting up and winding down. As we talked, a school bus pulled up to let off several conference attendees who had been on a field trip. The first woman off the bus tripped as she was coming down the steps, and fell a yard or so, landing squarely on her knees. When she fell, she dropped her purse, her cane, and a few other objects. Brian and I were standing right there, so I picked up what looked like a button or decoration.
