Glad there's going to
Glad there's going to continue to be one worthwhile thing in Gatlinburg, but I wish we'd been a little more creative in our offer. Slicing off a chunk of lost-in-nature but accessible Ijams park extension would have been a more-than-worthwhile trade.
Ruby Tuesday
There is still a Ruby Tuesday in Gatlinburg, right?
If not, since commenting is disabled on the Hackermann PR piece below about Ruby Tuesday, I'll just drop a little off topic turd here to say that...
RT seems to have cranked the food up a notch of late, and I've truly enjoyed eating there the past couple of years. If you must eat at a chain, try your "local" Ruby Tuesday if you haven't recently. It's vastly improved over what you might expect.
Then again, it makes one wonder what the fear of feedback is all about.
EDIT:
OK, I notice on the "discussing" sidebar that there were originally 41 replies in that thread that I missed. I'll assume the worst. Never mind.
