“Once when I was in a shop in Laramie, Wyo., the woman at the counter said to me, “I tell visitors, yes, Wyoming is cold. So don’t move here!”
Went to Gatlinburg Tennessee once and went into the Smoky Mountains National Park the next day. Stopped at the visitor center and I was talking to the counter lady there and I said “I didn’t think Gatlinburg was such a tourist trap” and she looked at me and she goes “yep it’s just like the beach only ain’t no hope for hurricane.”
