That's fucking depressing.

And what's up with the use of allegedly lately? It's getting way too much use for things that are true, there's nothing alleged about them.

it's quaint. Pigeon Forge was the tourist trap area, but Gatlinburg felt nice.

Hmm...Is Pigeon Forge where the strip is with all the cotton candy and vape shops? Perhaps I need to reconsider my understanding of the place.
Yeah I think. Pigeon Forge is like a mini-Branson, MO. Lots of tacky museums and restaurants.

Nope. That's Sevierville. Pigeon Forge is closer to the interstate and where the outlet mall is. Sevierville is where Dollywood is.

Reports around here are suggesting very little of actual downtown Gatlinburg burned. A couple of businesses on the edge of town towards Sevierville but little else. The fire really blazed between Gatlinburg and Sevierville. My inlaws have a timeshare at the Westgate resort that's about halfway between the two and 75 out of 100 buildings are gone. Just ashes. Of course, that's gonna happen when your units are all log cabins.

Meaning what? That a large amount of the tortured parties don't actually have any info?

Yeah usually the guy that isn't talking is the one that knows stuff. Gotta use leverage rather than torture. Find the family.
