      <![CDATA[And just to put the coal miner thing into perspective, the paper the other day said theres around 80,000 miner in the country.<br />
8,000,000 people a year come through gatlinburg and pigeon forge.<br />
if ALL the miners stay away, that would be a less than 1% drop in our business, because not all 80K are going to come here anyway.<br />
So go ahead and boycott us, make a smaller statistical difference they allow for in surveys anyway

Why are the only two choices Tacky Tourist Hell or Defaced, Decapitated Natural Beauty? Isn't there a way to improve and restore Pigeon Forge to some of its original appeal and quaintness without completely killing the tourist industry there or blowing the tops off mountains?<br />
Short of bulldozing about a zillion motels, buffet restaurants and outlet malls, no.
