Coach Bob Knight Takes Some Swings During All Star Weekend in St. Louis, Missouri
Americans have been looking at many aspects of their lives differently these days. Even in previous economic downturns baseball is something we’ve gone back to that offers us a sense of simplicity. A sense of community. At places like Hot Springs Village in Arkansas (the nation’s largest gated community) and Branson Creek in Missouri, another American tradition is celebrated: the family. Read this interesting story about how Branson, for example, is getting back to basics to beat the recession. If how we live defines us as a nation and our standard of living is to remain strong, second homes will be a part of that standard. They allow us an escape to ideal locations for a little rest and relaxation with those we love. Vacations are about changing your surroundings. Home is about family. See more “All Star” options here.
