In addition, there are horse riding areas around from the property and within a short drive, as well as all of the activities at the LBL recreational area.I am considering moving closer to Fort Campbell as I want to begin investing in the Clarksville TN area, plus I drive a little over an hour one way to work everyday.

I think your absolutely right that’s why I asked because I don’t see ppl running up to Albany at all there is no economic stability besides the schools, and it’s sad that the governor hasn’t addressed this I think what would help the real estate market beside a big tech boost is the legalization of recreational  marijuana up there, give a reason for tourists investors ect to actually visit Albany it will boost the local economy give locals a chance a new business ventures and overall give the area some much needed exposure  

I’d imagine conspicuous consumption and recreation would be the first cutbacks from someone’s budget in a crunch.

And on Thursday we will be attending a beginners class in sailing - I am excited to make finally some recreational use of Lake Michigan! 

The only travel is recreational & taking a 2 hour lunch is still on the expense account !!! 

Hotels are often boom and bust, they have incredible upswings during periods of economic growth (think business/recreational travel).

I did a quick Google search and found a $200 million project called Glass City Riverwalk "Glass City Riverwalk is expected to become one of the region’s most popular destinations, with year-round outdoor recreation opportunities, including adventure play areas and an ice skating ribbon." 

In Michigan, you have the Great Lakes and a lot of beautiful natural areas and opportunities for outdoor recreation.

@Nathan ShottsHD will recreate SW colors as well.

No need to re-create the wheel if someone has already worked it out for you.
