….According to a Twitter analysis study, Greensboro ranks as the seventh-ranked tourist-hating city in the country.
My gut reaction….tourists—-what tourists?
“The only time I hate tourists is during A&T homecoming,” Cory Stackfews, a city resident, said (appropriately) via Twitter. “They’re just in the way. I tweet it every homecoming.”
But it’s just as likely that negative tweets referenced in the study came from disgruntled visiting basketball fans, upset that their teams lost in the ACC basketball tournament. Tweets could have been from tipsy concertgoers who had nosebleed seats to see Garth Brooks or Paul McCartney.
All I know is the only time A&T’s homecoming affects me is when the parade forces the relocation of Saturday’s downtown farmer’s market.
