Crawford Tourism Sinks With Bush Approval

Houston Chronicle | THOMAS KOROSEC | July 8, 2007 at 11:33 PM

Shuttered storefronts and eroding retail sales figures show tourism and the Bush memorabilia business are slumping in this once-sleepy farm-and-ranch town of 732 residents.

A for-sale sign is the only thing in the smudged window of the turn-of-the-century, two-story brick building that once housed the Crawford Country Style store. "The numbers just weren't working," said Norma Nelson Crow, who closed the shop at the beginning of the year.

2. Ironic isn't it???
If Sheehan hung around there would be more business aand they'd be making more money,


I read some of the posts people put up...This by far is the funniest and most pathetic...

bush may be bad. but i would never vote democrat. they have the morals of an alley cat(clinton,carter,nixon) everybody knows that clinton didnt run the white house his b*tch wife did. and i give Bush credit for not lying to us to our faces that he did not have sexual relations with that woman. and he smoked (marijuana) but didnt inhale. give me a break! he insulted us all with that lie. and clinton dodged the draft too by running to canada to hide out. at least Bush enlisted. im not happy with everything that Bush is doing i think the war should have been long over, but i do give him an A for effort. i wonder how any one of you would do if you had to run the country??

****
Nixon was a Democrat...WTF...That tells me all I need to know about this person.

Found it on Comments Part 7

3. clinton ran to canada to hide out?
:eyes:

Perhaps he's thinking about when Clinton went to Oxford...? :wtf:

I can imagine his response if this was pointed out "Anyhoooo - Clinton wasn't in the good ole US of A...." :eyes:

5. "...but i do give him an A for effort"
Wow, I got an A for effort once in kindergarten, for coloring inside the lines 55% of the time. So why does * deserve an A for effort? Because Barney hasn't run away yet?

4. Maybe they could have a weekly "BUSH MEMORABILIA BONFIRE and WEINER ROAST"
That might bring the tourists in?

6. After Bus$h leaves, they could give tours of the former pig farm...
and point out hacked bushes on the property. Reagan rode horses like he did in movies, but Bu$h is supposedly afraid of them so he whacks shrubs for that masculine image. Gore was captain of his high school football team. Bush was a cheerleader at Yale.
