While most of these places are personal to me I’m a bit saddened by this as the China Bazaar actually holds a bit of sentimental value for me. I remember shopping in this place as a teenager thirty years ago. Of course my heart does go out as well to the owners and employees who work here and I do hope these businesses return swiftly!
I also hope the rock walls can be reused as with each passing year Gatlinburg is losing not only it’s long time business that some of us have known for decades are she’s also losing the architecture that made Gatlinburg so special and unique.
Yes, no doubt you can feel that way about places here, especially when it's a fire that causes it to close. It also saddens me that I never visited them or Puckers. I also hope Gatlinburg doesn't completely lose that uniqueness giving it a mountain town feel. Gatlinburg may always be changing, but I never want to think I'm in a hip, big city. Love that mountain charm. Thanks for sharing!✌
