Most people in town: "Jobs!"

The very conservative/religious: "Evils of gambling!"

Me:"Are we finally going to get a decent fucking steakhouse?"

Tribes are moving away from the casino model, IE: Great Wolf family resorts, convention centers etc. multi use residential/commercial complexes -- nm - zeitgeist Feb 13, 23:23
Winterfell and beyond the wall theme park!!! -- nm* - Peglegpete Feb 13, 22:36
Does it automatically become tribal land because a tribe bought it? I mean, I like that. -- nm - Mop Feb 13, 21:46 4
- yes, a local tribe put in a gas station/shopette on our main street, you can buy gas, cigs, booze at much lower prices without all the state taxes. -- (edited) - zeitgeist Feb 13, 22:01
- That was my first question and the answer is apparently yes -- nm - crash davis Feb 13, 21:47 2
  - so theoretically they could buy their country back -- nm - zeitgeist Feb 13, 22:01 1
    - One could hope. -- nm - Mop Feb 13, 22:10
And if you're lucky a decent entertainment venue. -- nm - . Feb 13, 21:08 6
- Yep, it would be cool to occasionally get rock bands on their last legs. But I know it would be a lot of country. -- nm - crash davis Feb 13, 21:10 5
  - I knew a guy who got Asia to play a small town in Alaska (I think Yakutat?). he LOVED Asia. -- nm - mafic Feb 14, 04:06
  - You’re getting Huey Lewis and the News... - Mop Feb 13, 21:48 3
    - I fucking hate Huey Lewis and The News. It has to be some of the worst music ever produced during its time period. -- nm - Qale Feb 14, 05:52
    - I was fine with that until I read the IM. Well played :) -- nm - crash davis Feb 13, 21:52 1
      - Admit it, you want to hear a blues version of “I Want A New Drug”. -- nm - Mop Feb 13, 21:55
