Weather was cool and rainy so we didn't make the hike down. <br /><br />Not interested in Houston. Been there, done that, don't wanna go back. The idea of a "Redneck Riviera" is what sounded interesting.<br /><br />You might be surprised how many formally industrial towns now want to attract tourists. Rarely works, and when it does, it takes decades, too late to save the locals.Sixbearshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15572224383041421400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1937170202895477126.post-20237795308156971772010-09-08T10:32:06.348-04:002010-09-08T10:32:06.348-04:00Ours has always been crazy.

It's just a micro version of CONgress, with back door deals, do as I say not as I do, and "we're gonna do this even though you voters don't want us to, because it's good for you"... They have all forgotten the definition and job description of REPRESENTATIVE...<br /><br />Right now my local yokels are re-arranging deck chairs on the Titanic, trying to attract all those mythical "tourists" and their dollars downtown instead of on the beach. You know, the only reason anyone comes here. The beach! I guess they missed that course on capitalizing on your assets. Alas, we have a bunch of "elitist" running the joint, trying to turn an end-of-the-line (literally!) backwater fishin' and beach bum town into Houston or something. Ain't gonna happen, never will, you'll put us in bankruptcy trying. And why the hell would you want to be Houston?! YUCK!<br /><br />This is the "Redneck Riviera", and I like it that way. Part of the charm. Part of why those that come here do come here. Leave it to politicians to ruin a good thing...Mayberryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07664966137470121099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1937170202895477126.post-14890875335512944642010-09-08T09:34:59.940-04:002010-09-08T09:34:59.940-04:00I think it already did!!!I think it already did!!!Dizzy-Dickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14150939928800538404noreply@blogger.com
