Interview with Marc Dube, “owner of most of the parking lots in downtown Hull.” Parking lots are lucrative, as Dube’s start in the business illustrates: “In the mid 1980s, Dub\u00e9 and two others planned to open a restaurant in downtown Hull. The financing fell through after they had already signed the lease on a building. Dub\u00e9 realized an alternate source of income: he could demolish the building and put in a parking lot. Since his partners weren\u2019t interested, he began the business on his own.” Read on from there.<\/p>\n
