    Don't you think it would count as Tri-Cities of Sevierville / Pigeon Forge / Gatlinburg? They are all kind of tied together. But that might confuse people with the historical Tri-Cities of Bristol / Kingsport / Johnson City.

    Good to see what is up there cause things are ever changing - I like the touristy trap gift shops or tacky tourist shops as a friend and I call them - when I go on a trip I don't want to spend half my budget on wedge wood china plates or expensive jewelry - so much of the things especially in downtown Gatlinburg have become those - the face in the mural reminded me - we use to take our church youth group up there for a week retreat usually during Spring Break - We often stayed at the Brookside that was up the hill going toward the craft village - they had those old fashioned wall paper murals of outdooor scenes on one wall in the room - mostly streams or green wooded areas and some with deer - but there was this one that when the strips were pasted together it seemed to form a demonic face with the items in the scene - now some of the others had some possible faces that your imagination let you see but this one was very clear looking especially to the group of girls staying there - creeped them out - so they made the Youth Minister come in and pray a blessing on that room and for their protection from any evil spirits lurking with that face - it became a thing that each room tried to find any scary faces or lack of so they knew their room was safe or not - lol - thanks for the drive around and for reminding me of that story

    Hey Jacob, No idea if this camp still lives or not, but when I was a little tyke... My parents sent me and my sister there for week. Camp Ha-La-Wa-Sa. I believe its an Indian name for get rid of your kids for some parent fun time :), Seriously it was a good week as I remember it, sort of a relegious camp in South Jersey Had a few lakes and cabins that the kids stayed in while we were there.
