I personally really like the golf course area but I think most visitors looking for an escape and they are thinking about the water. 

The University not only offers visitors of university students, but those who are in town to visit family from the base as well as those in town that are in need of medical care. 

People are scared because there is a massive amount of uncertainty right now due to rising interest rates, media screaming about markets slowing down in real estate, stock market selloffs and crypto crashes.
