Smoky Mountain Slow Down?

[John Carbone]

The last 3 weekends the traffic on the parkway from Sevierville through gatlinburg has been pretty much a ghost town on weekend evenings which ordinarily are jammed traffic. The last few years it was wall to wall this time of year. Went to the Alamo steakhouse last night and walked right in. It’s starting to look and feel ominous, I know summer will pick back up around here but this is starting to seem like it might be a 7 month season here now.

My general rule of thumb is if you have any vested interest in telling me to do something I generally filter your advice out. When you filter out all the Realtors / Property Managers / Lenders the picture starts to look a little clearer.
