people dress up like during colonial times and everything is restored to the period (at least that's how i remember it)

It's cheesier than Wburg. The official stuff is pretty serious, but the shops are more cheesy. -- nm - loosilu Jul 22, 16:00
I liked Williamsburg a lot. But, I'm sure it's every bit as touristy and cheesy as it may seem to some. -- nm - con_carne Jul 22, 15:57 10
- fwiw, I didn't think w'burg was that cheesy. I had a work thing there and someone related to us was on some - b. Jul 22, 16:24 8
  - re: Salem, I want to reiterate that the official historical stuff is serious. The industry around it not so much. - loosilu Jul 22, 16:26 7
    - that's what I was thinking of. there was some stuff that seemed more appopriate for a place like the harry potter theme park. -- nm - b. Jul 22, 16:40 1
      - growing up in that area, I really got into the history of the trials. - loosilu Jul 22, 16:49
    - Yeah, and that witch on a broomstick painted on the streets thing is pretty dumb. -- nm - CovingtonCat Jul 22, 16:29
    - If I go to the beach and see kids wearing pirate hats and eye patches, I'm all for it. -- nm - Max Jul 22, 16:28 3
      - To be fair, the pirates of lore really were pirates -- nm - con_carne Jul 22, 16:31 2
        
        right, and one might complain that celebrating murderers is awful. But I think pirates are cool, so thumbs up. witch hats too. -- nm - Max Jul 22, 16:33 1
        
        it might be the same if they were falsely convicted of being pirates. -- nm - loosilu Jul 22, 16:35
- loved Williamsburg -- nm - Epiphany Jul 22, 16:01
