Perhaps, it's because they can't catch the moonshiners here in the mountains around Gatlinburg, or it has something to do with the cleanup after old Johnny faced down his father in Gatlinburg in the "mud and the blood and the beer" for giving him "that awful name," but the sales taxes are about what they are in Chicago--HIGH!!
They are anything from nine and a half percent in Sevierville to 10% gere in Gatlinburg.
I walked across the street to the McDonald's for breakfast and was shocked to hear that the bill on the $3.80 meal came to $4.50. Now, that's exorbitant even by Chicago standards. I found out they charged 24 cents for a cup of ice water and then 10%.
My nephew says they don't have a state income tax here and take it out on us tourists.
Mighty Unfriendly If You Ask Me. And 23 Cents for ice Water. Ya Gotta Be Kiddin'? --RoadDog
RoadDog's RoadLog Blog: Being my travels down those great two lane highways of this nation as well as news I learn about them from media sources. Since I'm also very interested in historic preservation, there will be a lot of that as well.
The Shamrock Court Motel in Sullivan, Missouri. It can be yours for $125,000. Lots of possibilities. Actually, now you're too late. Missouri's Roamin' Rich bought it.
