News that is, but shouldn't be, surprising.
"For two months Midwesterners have been fleeing to the Lake of the Ozarks from cities and states shut down by coronavirus, and local business owners say they’re seeing signs the coming Memorial Day weekend could bring an even bigger surge of vacationers than normal. Specifically: vacation home and hotel reservations are reaching unprecedented levels for some."
And, for some hotels and lodges, the majority of the business is coming from Illinois. People in Illinois have been locked down tighter than many other states and are just fed up.
I think this is pretty brave of all those people, but I'm still kind of chicken hearted to want to do something like this as yet. But, if the Ozarks will see sell outs this weekend, maybe our grocery stores will be a bit less crowded.
