It is all over the city . Seems as if noone at city hall cares about what their careless decisions is doing to tourism . Without tourism this city is dead . . If this destructive trend keeps up I venture to say within ten years Newburyport will have lost it's tourism charm . Thanks Moby

This is how I feel about Talkeetna Alaska. I live about 2 hours south of it in a bigger city, but I've spent some good time there.

It used to be a quiet old town of about 800 people. Now it's over 1,000 and the tourism is insane. The tourism is good for them, but you can clearly see how it's changing the dynamic.

Blagh 😔
