Businesses near the Orange County Convention Center have their take on how business is going at NBAA 09.

This morning at Denny's Diner (across International Drive from the South Concourse), duty manager Dan says "business was down about 18% compared with a year ago, and that was down on the year before."

He asked how business was going across the road, and then delivered his own verdict: "I figure if they won't buy a good six dollar breakfast, they're not going to buy any airplanes."
