ReplyDeleteSurprised occupancy was that high.
Conferences and conventions are booked well in advance and riots probably occurred too close to their planned dates to change. You can bet those with events yet to come are looking for alternative locations. Turning that trend around will take more skill and finesse than any of their mayoral candidates have.
Maybe they will look to Salisbury -- and then look elsewhere!
