What We Need Around Here Are Better Restaurants and a Decent Tax Base
I don’t know if gay people find this patronizing (so let me know my gay peeps and I’ll stop) but Smyrna Delaware is in desperate need of a thriving gay population. According to this kos diary – it seems Iowa is thinking the same thing.
Iowa Democrats have long argued that making the state more tolerant will help the local economy. Today the Des Moines Register has two articles on the possible new economic benefits coming to the only gay marriage state without a residency requirement.
Unlike Connecticut and Massachusetts – the other states that permit gay marriage – Iowa has no nearby competitors for same-sex couples who want to marry.
Businesses could see $160 million in new wedding and tourism spending over the next three years, according to a study from researchers at the University of California at Los Angeles.
…The study predicts that 2,917 same-sex Iowa couples will wed in the three years after the marriages are allowed to proceed. In addition, nearly 55,000 out-of-state couples could come to Iowa to get married, the study found.
Iowa: Housing is cheap, schools are great, and Democrats run the show.
What? Perkin’s isn’t classy enough for Mr. Fancy Pants?
Legal gay marriage would be an economic boon to Delaware. You listening, Jack?
A couple of lunch options other than pizza would be nice.
Sheridan’s food is fairly good for carnivores. I eat there once a month when we have our Delaware Friends of Folk board meeting, the stuffed baked potato minus the bacon works pretty good for me + Guinness. 😀 But that’s about the only thing I order there, avoids meat.
But I support all the gay equality initiatives, locally, nationally. I know the Gov is sympathetic.
Guinness is not vegetarian sorry to break it to ya (if that is what you were implying)
It may not be vegan, but in no way did I say I was a strict vegetarian (whatever that means to you).
Avoiding meat. Attracted to Guinness + expressively liberal. Attracts the people I like, annoys people I don’t like.
WIN WIN WIN WIN
ahhh very good than. Im a total carnivore, i’ve stopped eating beef, but everything else is on the table (pardon the pun) i know a vegan who stopped drinking guinness STOPPED DRINKING GUINNESS when he found out. sad sad times.
Look here in Delaware if you want some very good restaurants go to the Beach. in Florida go to Key West
Jason330 – Smyrna is too far away from the action, theater, arts, Philadelphia, even Wilmington. Driving to Smyrna for a dinner party forget it. The nearest city Dover is a fundamentalist city and their churches are 95% homophobic, plus the new bedroom communities down there are full of young breeders who don’t want to be confronted by Adam and Steve when they go out to do their chores, or an evening on the town. forget smyrna and move to milton, now that is an up and coming open town.
I will sign off with the hateful name you gave me:
Concerned Troll
I think he called you a “Concern Troll” That is a title, not a name. 🙂
Yes would someone PLEEEZ, bring the gay population to Smyrna so we can finally get some tastefully appointed homes, decent restaurants and real entertainment around here. Right now we have 20 pizza restaurants, Sheridan’s (who is run by a very non-liberal hard ** Irishman) and an opera house that is hardly ever used being run by a bunch of farmers. We’ll pay you to come! The cultural wasteland here is enough to cause manic depression….
I know some gays in Smyrna… they are afraid to come out …. well, they came out, but you know what i mean….. tome down the level of fear and hate in the straight community and you’ll see a much more fabulous smyrna (not accusing you personally, just your townsmen
