I visited Gettysburg probably like 5 years ago Darth_Katie Send a noteboard - 17/08/2010 10:41:57 PM
From what I remember, the actual park itself was very nice, focused on the history of the battle and the war and pretty respectful of all the soldiers who died there on both sides of the field.

The town itself I could do without. Very kitchsy, very touristy, and not in a good way. I can't see how bulding a casino is going in improve that, and it certainly doesn't give me an incentive to go and visit again. Rather the opposite.

But then, who am I to say that they shouldn't do it if it'll bring money into their community?
Insert theme music here.

It all depends a little on the details... but my first impression is negative, yeah. - 18/08/2010 12:15:51 AM 346 Views
