Even though I complain about the crowds, I have to admit that the spring break crowds are good for the local economy. Locals are reporting that it was a good season. This is a tourist town and tourists mean
jobs. There is really no other industry here to generate them. Construction was the only other game in town and everyone knows what happened to that. Now that I've admitted that they have their purpose, I can go back to enjoying the peacefulness left by their departure.
