Dillsboro could use an economic shot in the arm

Having been born and raised in a small town such as Dillsboro , which thrives on tourism, makes me realize how much economics has an effect on the town itself.

The beauty of Dillsboro, Sylva, & Cullowhee is NOT busy, tons of things CRAMMED onto one street. Cookie cutter buildings. If you are from here then you should move to a large city, and TRY to live there. Then come HOME & appreciate what you have here.

They shouldn't have ran off the railroad company.

Is that Jarrett House restaurant still there? Man, they had great meals years ago.

No one ran them off. The railroad made the decision to move their entire operation to Bryson City due to declining business.

Still there.

Would love to see the railroad sponsor Morgan Shepherd for the October race in Charlotte.Morgan was the only top 25 car today without a primary sponsor(finished 21st). A one race sponsorship would do them both good. Dillsboro is a wonderful vacation destination, the economy is hurting everyone, hang in there you have alot to offer besides nearby gambling. www.morganshepherd,com

What Dillsboro needs is 1 or 2 "fast food" type restaurants,heck everything is located on the other side of Sylva.Huddle House is overpriced in my opinion.A Hardees would make a killing near Dillsboro.Never did understand why the one in Sylva was shut down.

Have heard rumours of a grocery store being built behind the BP GAS STATION up on the 4 lane above Dillsboro.Wonder if theres anything to it?
