lmfaoThis is the best idea I've read on this site today (but the night is still young). Give the city two years off for LE to cool down and for the businesses to fully grasp what an economic impact the event has on the city.

So are you implying that Mustang Week doesn't have an economic impact?lmfao
I can tell you, from hearing directly from senior members of the Horry County government that A) they don't want it here and B) the money it brings in isn't even a blip on the radar. Not my words. Hotels are being rented, food bought and some other stuff. Those things were going to happen anyways. The proof? The MW rooms are rented out months in advance, because people know that it would be booked if they waited last minute. If Horry Co and/or MB wanted you here or cared about you, you'd notice by the treatmentSo are you implying that Mustang Week doesn't have an economic impact?

Fine by me, we need more big events like Mustang Week in the Midwest. Best I can hope for most years is the Hot Rod Power Tour swinging through the area.

I get what you're saying and I don't have the option of hearing it from the horse's mouth like you do, but your "proof" isn't exactly proof. I'm not saying you're wrong, every single one of those rooms could have been filled without MW; but saying that the rooms are booked months in advance of a huge influx of people is a definitive sign that the rooms would be booked without that influx of people is not a sound argument.
I'm sure I'm not doing a good job of getting my point across, I promise I'm not challenging you or your word. I believe what you said the county officials said.
no problem and I understand what you're saying. I just find it funny that a group of visitors that rent a room, eat food and buy gas think that they will hurt a tourist city by not doing those things - in summer - at a beach with 18.6 million annual visitors. lolI get what you're saying and I don't have the option of hearing it from the horse's mouth like you do, but your "proof" isn't exactly proof.

Pay attention to your PMs. I will contact you when I get there Fri afternoon.I have tickets and am generally not hard to find. That Pink Floyd Laser show sounds pretty good.
I'd like to do something at Heartland Park.
The country music fest comes to mind.
He's correct. Certain individual businesses directly related to the event have a good week, but in general there would still be a ton of people in anyway. We're getting into CanAm season.

I like my car without bullet hole ventilation.Bring it to Detroit.
A police presence is welcomed. Citations given for laws broken are expected. I am hearing about, and finding videos for arrests that make little to no sense in my mind.Never been to MB for an event like that, but from my experience, all beach cities that attract tourists have cops that crack down harder than usual. They do it so they can keep it a tourist attraction where visitors dont have to worry about themselves or their kids getting hit by a reckless driver, robbed, shot, beat up, or whatnot. Virginia Beach, Oceanside, Huntington, etc all have heavy police presence to make sure people can go there and have fun without incident. Just my .02 cents.

I agree that some of these sound overboard in their response but I have seen similar done in Virginia Beach. They make sure no wrong doing ever gets a foot-hold there.A police presence is welcomed.

There is a fine line, a balance point if you will. The officers are following orders. Right now I am seeing orders designed to bring in revenue, not suppress crime.
I hope I am wrong.
