In addition to higher utilities cost and gasoline, the cost of food, especially meat is just crazy! It is disappointing Homestay has delayed their opening, but it might be for the better long term by minimizing early season losses due to lack of visitors.
In visiting the area in the last few years, the Branson area feels tired, lost. Fewer big name theaters, vacant buildings or lots, fewer outlet stores. We miss Celebration City, we enjoyed the laser light show and the sox hop after. It seems what we would spend days trying to fit in our schedule we can now accomplish in two. The baseball complex, especially with themed replica stadiums might be an enjoyable evening attraction to visit. Do a little shopping (outlet sporting goods stores?) and grab a bite to eat? Soccer in big in the KC area, what if Branson could land a team?
