Memorial Day Drives Economy

Pffft! Front pager, too!

"A day of solemnity... a weekend of spending; Throngs visit region, giving retailers and hotels a boost" by Megan Woolhouse, Globe Staff | May 26, 2009

Travelers also took advantage of Memorial Day gas prices that averaged about $2.26 a gallon in Massachusetts, according to AAA - $1.49 lower per gallon than they were a year ago.

Yeah, we are so lucky when you phrase it that way, s*** press!!!!

AAA has estimated that the low cost of gas would encourage more than 27 million Americans to take a vacation by car this year, an increase over last year....

Not me.

While the surge in driving may be bad news for the environment, it's good news for many of the region's tourist attractions, restaurants, and hotels that have suffered in the recession.

Make up your frikkin' mind and stop lying about the weather, Globe!!!!!
