I think they deleted post put up by Dennis and Sheila guess they didnt like the truth
I love how they classified everybody as rednecks within the first few page comments. If you have a diesel you're and inbred redneck evidently:bang.
What is funny is I spent 4 years in that town, and they are calling folks rednecks.
Terre Haute isn't a bad town, but one thing I saw is they didn't like outside folks coming into their town. The college I went to went through a dramatic change while I was attending. The local folks on the board fought the change. They wanted the college to be a small college for a small town, didn't want it to become a big school.
Wonder if they know how much money the town makes when the event is going on? We have maybe 3 or 4 rod runs a year here, yeah things can get out of hand but we make a ton of money. Tourism isn't a bad business if you can deal with the client.
Who makes the money? It is the business owners, restaurants, hotels, not the general population. It is a college town, yes I am sure it brings in lots of money for the community.
I've always seen it as if the community in general is making money then everybody benefits. More businesses opening creating more jobs. The town having more money to spend on stuff like parks and whatnot. But with it being a college town I see what you mean.
Yea, and one weekend won't really create new jobs, I mean the hotels are packed, but they are owned by a chain, then the restaurants, the servers and such make some extra money, but the general population just has to put up with our crap!
