As an aside and explaining what I mean by "Open Sores"; years ago I contemplated buying a station in that town. It stands to reason being a fishing/vacation community that local advertisers operate seasonally, as would the radio station, but it was seriously bad. Local businesses were seemingly always living on the ragged edge of insolvency, and the poor collections reflected that trend. There was a lot of interest in advertising on the station during the tourist season, then not much interest in being willing to pay when the bill came due. The beaches there were becoming less appealing too, as compared with Oregon beaches right down the road. Rumors of hypodermic needles washing up on shore, reports of broken glass injuries, and tons of cruise ship trash washing ashore, were killing the reputation. Pretty much all that was left was the fishing business, but many of those who worked in the area didn't live in the area, so local businesses only really saw tourism. After I saw the down-trending interest in that community, I decided to run away.
