They are always suffering. I don't think price of gas will harm businesses. I have a beach house near alantic city, a lot of places already have renters. So I guess we will have to wait and see.
We have friends that head down to NJ with the full family for a few weeks every summer.
They're going again this year. Gas is cheaper in NJ than up here and our dollar is doing well, so I can't see the price of gas putting a dent in the plans of most Canadians.
