You should have looked for the divorced travel ball mom getting a little deep into poolside cocktails

Pigeon Forge is only slightly less trashy than Branson.

What’s the attraction about Pigeon Forge?


The mountains are awesome, Dollywood is a lot of fun, it’s not as hot as South LA

I've been to both and the trash in those two places is much, much lower compared to the gulf coast beaches. I enjoyed my trips there and I don't like crowds OR trash.

You haven't experienced trash until you go to Gulf Shores, Orange Beach, Destin between Memorial Day and Labor Day.

Pigeon Forge with a travel ball tournament. Sounds like purgatory



Nailed it. Have a couple of more 4AM days, but I’ll try and see if there are any hot moms at the pool this week. Early indications are negative.

Love the mountains, but definitely prefer the less trafficked areas. This is like a hillbilly Panama City Beach.

Bro it's the World Series, this is the biggest tournament of the year. World Champs rings are on the line here. Be more understanding of this.

They're all there for one of about 50 "World Series" tourneys. The team can be 2-22 and make it to the tournament as long as they parents are suckers enough to pay. It's a crock.

We were in Pigeon Forge a couple weeks ago. It was my first time there (we usually stayed in Cherokee) and as we were arriving, I told my wife how “this is like the mountain version of the beach”. Despite the crowd, being in the mountains is quite peaceful and would go back.

Pigeon Forge is like a little Myrtle Beach without the ocean.


Myrtle Beach is near a shitty ocean. When you grow up going to the panhandle beaches every year, you don’t realize how beautiful the beach & water is until you start traveling to other places. They’re hard to beat, especially if they’re in an easy day’s driving distance

Got back from our job in time to survey our surroundings. FML……. That Cal Ripken deal everyone keeps mentioning. Yeah, you can walk there from the hotel. So, the dull roar of teenage boys playing grab arse at the pool has been replaced with the stadium announcer at the park. I’m sure the grabassery will start up again after Jaxson and Braydon get done with their games.

Some 8 year old team from my town just won a world championship in Orlando last week. All these grown arse men posing with championship banners and rings.
I think it’s worse than a participation trophy.

Neat set up along the Pigeon Forge strip following the Little river; with nice cement walkways go along the Greenway for miles and under the bridge by the hotels!

The Giant Ferris Wheel on the little island between the River Forks is really a cool Entertainment District.

The ole Mill on the River in historic downtown is nice too.

Gatlinburg could only grow so much ...the growth from the outflow is impressive. Even Sevierville trying to capitalize now

He was more concerned with the boys.

A real baw would have given one of those moms a shaky view of Pigeon Forge from his hotel room....
