st. petersburg, and many there not only don't make enough to make ends meet -- of course that means that you've got to have both spouses working. 44% of the people do not have an economic situation to make ends meet. and so what do they do to compensate? they work two, three jobs in order to compensate. so in south st. petersburg, there are a lot of people that don't even have a job, and it's not because they don't want jobs. it's because a lot of the established financial power, including banks and corporations and big investors see areas that are depressed like this one. they see it as a lost cause. they don't believe it has the economic potential to support new business. i want to tell you a great success story, and that's what a husband and wife team, ellahue and carolyn braybury found out when they tried to open a restaurant on 22nd street in south st. pete, an economically depressed part of the town that was long overlooked by those at the top of the economic ladder. i want to show you a picture of them. this is the brayboys. and in fact the building the brayboys wanted to use for
