Weekend Talk
Kansas City still wants in on the action.
I did not hear any of my customers talking about the fact that the Shut-Ins is closed nor did they have any complaints about the condition of the river. I did talk to one couple from Clinton, MO that were in Lesterville for the first time, and they had never heard of the Taum Sauk event. So is this just a Jeff City and Black River story?
On a personal note on Sunday we had the largest one day sales of any Memorial Day weekend in the last 23 years. So if you hear some of the usual suspects complaining about business being bad you would have to wonder what they are doing wrong.

It's a story in St. Louis too, because JSI is a daytrip for them.
But as many people found out after then 1993 flood: once a place is closed down, it is avoided for 3-5 years until the word gets out. People thought the Arch was still closed as late as 1995. Tourists have short memories. This is why Ameren should have included a redo of their nature museum, or some other public access PR stuff in their rebuild plan. The damage to the park isn't just structural. It's conceptual.
I bet a some of your sales were because of the fine job you've done keeping the state on its toes re a local point of view on this topic.
Kudos!
