The bath house would be a modern spa, but with the same old style suspension bridge, dam, arching bridge, and put in a few new neat things...like a new trolley or something. It'd be awesome to get the guy that did the Branson's landing to buy into this and make it a neat destination once again. Also, you could then open a gift store in the front of your property and sell some local farm stuff- jelly, fruits, honey, etc. I'm dreaming here, but I think it would be awesome. AND, the new area they cleared around Carterville could house the hotels and modern restaurants for people to stay nearby, but not disturb the beauty of the area. it makes me want to rebuild it the way it used to be…with a few adjustments.
