I own a small boutique in Gulf Shores and most of my business comes from tourists in the area.  Right now  am struggling to make even the most basic payments while I wait for the Oil Spill Fund to make a payment to me for my lost revenue.  I cannot blame the tourists for not wanting to come here.  If they saw our beaches and how bad they look they might never come back.  I have lived here all of my life and I am ot going to move now, but I cannot even fathom how long this mess is going to take to clean up.
