be mod ernized regardless he add ed if there was a danger ous corner i would be in favour of widening it tourist mecca what were frightened of is seeing all the old build ings disappear and money being spent on something thats inadequate frqm a scenic point of view he said his guest book shows that visitors come from across the world to visit the inn including europe the unit ed states and all
