We've been a tourist destination for...well, forever! The "seasonal locals" (somehow they believe they can retain that title of being a local when they escape from the -30 winters for 8 months of the year only to return to their "camp" - accessiable by boat only) irk me to no end. <BR/><BR/>Muffy...did you get more port for dinner tongiht?<BR/><BR/>Yes, I too worked in the hospitality industry and was worn out! Ever been to Disney where you let your children eat ice cream at 9am? That's now it is here...no rules. Sue, you didn't mention Horse Shows!! Don't you remember house shows? <BR/><BR/>Please visit. Be a courtious driver and human being.

You can drive whatever old foreign vehicle you want and we'll take you to see lots of cool stuff, then enjoy margaritas on the lake.<BR/><BR/>However, if you think tourists driving in the middle of the street at 4 mph makes you nuts, I should warn you that we have women walking beagles in the middle of the street at 2 mph around here.Patioboaterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01600842825460753192noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5761838434578253936.post-15884846135440288492008-05-30T19:44:00.000-07:002008-05-30T19:44:00.000-07:00If you're coming to see the scenery in Detroit ......If you're coming to see the scenery in Detroit ... oh, um ... well ... never mind.
