A little follow up to my entry a couple of days ago about the concerts.
Turns out, acts like Brooks and Dunn get a bigger local turnout. Who'd of thunk it?
Meanwhile, acts like Beck and Wilco get 70 or 80% turnout from out of town. How normal is that? I mean, depending on such a huge chunk of your business from out of town?
It seems like a lot of the businesses downtown are the same; not really positioned to attract local yokels, but to attract visitors.
Linda and I were driving downtown the other day, and there were some nice looking shoppers.
"I wonder how long the beautiful people will stick around," I found myself saying.
"This ain't their natural habitat."
I keep coming back to the question; what do they do for a living and how do they sustain that lifestyle?
We got the 20 or 30% of locals of the crowds who support groups like Beck, and I suspect the same is true of some downtown and Old Mill businesses. That can't be healthy.
