Anything going on for New Year’s Eve???
Best places to party for New Years Eve in Gatlinburg
Where?
stay away from PUCKERS , i went there for a adult beverage, the waitress ask if i was local or visiting, i said does it make a difference, she said yes if you are not local your beverage is more expensive, i told her to go to h—-, then i left, that is not a way to do business anywhere.plus the bathrooms where filthy, STAY AWAY FROM PUCKER’S
Locals get discounts in their home town, that’s one of the perks of being a local.
That’s still a bunch of B—-L S–T I know a lot of people who go and try to enjoy
the atmosphere and re-lax, They said the same thing, PUCKER’S IS A DIVE, ENJOY LOCAL’S.
New Year 2012??
Anyone know when the dukes of hazzard have their show at cooters?
