JACKSONVILLE, Fla - The Florida/Georgia game is over. The dust has settled. And what's left behind is one smelly scene.

"As you can see there's quite a bit of mess around," explained James Thomas with Amason's Porta Potties.

Thomas' job is quite possibly the grossest of them all. He's in charge of cleaning out the hundreds of well-used porta potties.

"We empty them out first cuz they're all around. Empty em out then we hose em off," he said.

But not all of Florida/Georgia weekend aftermath stinks.  For businesses like Fionn McCool's at the Jacksonville Landing, blue, orange, black and red equals a whole lot of green.

"Its a good start for what would be the slower time for restaurants in Jacksonville," Chris Erickson said.

Erickson worked long days all weekend. Fionn McCool's opened just in time to cash in on one of downtown's busiest weekends.  

"It definitely helps get our name out. I have a bunch of friends who didn't know we were down here so just the fact that they came to the landing they saw us they associated us with the beach store so it definitely got our name out."
