I recently watched the movie “We Bought A Zoo.” If you haven’t seen it, I highly recommend it. It’s a very sweet and family-friendly movie. What you might not know is that this movie pretty much tells the story of every small business owner. It is a true story about a man named Benjamin Mee, who bought a zoo in Southern California. While it is not a big zoo (more of an animal preserve outside of the city) — Mee buys the property in a state of disrepair and with a dream in hand, decides to take on the project of re-opening the place.
