At least one more Gulf Coast business is closing today thanks in large part to the oil spill. The Wheelhouse Restaurant in gulf shores is shutting its doors today. Owner Valerie Dickinson says the summer season was so slow that they didn't earn enough money to survive the winter. The Wheelhouse opened after hurricane Ivan and is one of several businesses hit hard by a significant drop in tourism this year.
