What do people who live outside your town come to your town for?

[Mokat76]

Court. My town is the county seat in a small, mostly rural, county.

 

[Simba's Mom]

Bird-watching. There are about 25 species of birds that the only place in the United States they can be seen is here. So every year we host the largest Birding Festival in the United States. Yeah, I know-lots of you are rolling your eyes and saying "How thrilling-NOT!!"

 

[rangerxenos]

A wildlife management area, there are hiking trails, an educational facility and the like. The other thing here is a cider mill that creates some awesome ciders and wine, among other things.

We're a small town of about 12,000 people, there isn't much here, LOL!

I have both gotten drunk on Bourbon St while encountering several nude women BUT I have also soaked up and absorbed the amazing city that is New Orleans. Maybe I'm an anomaly.

People come here to enjoy our excellent weather and the food. Meteorologists come to study our storms since we have some of the most intense lightning in the country.
