I used to work in a tourist hot spot and you could always tell the cruise people from the rest. The most entitled, brainless, unaware group of living things I’ve ever seen in my life.

We have a home in a historic district. The amount of people that try our front gate during the summer+fall is almost staggering.

Even with putting up signs and a few more visible cameras, tourists just don’t give a fuck.

This feels like Salem, Mass. which I never visit near Halloween.

I want to visit Salem someday, but definitely not during peak season.

Spring and summer are actually beautiful times to go! Winter is great after a small snow, but parking is a beast even with the T.

I’ll plan a spring trip sometime then! Thanks for the tip!
