Beyond Seeing and Tasting

The nighttime economy (and especially music) should be a critical component of every community development strategy. And the Taylor Swift phenomenon proves it. https://mailchi.mp/zeitgeistconsulting/ggun66kkta-10703100?e=b44db3da55

    Bill I love this article. I feel nightlife is very important and since 2020 so much has changed or been lost, as well as started anew. It's key to evaluate the nightlife in any region and make sure it is being developed strategically. This is true of music but also of comedy, theater, dancing, food, outdoors, etc. So many things can play into creating a robust nightlife. Plus the Taylor Swift and Beyonce effect are real. I travel and plan around music all the time.

    Thanks for writing this and speaking so honestly. As a member of the LGBTQ community, this makes me sad but it is just an extension of the "don't say gay" policy. "Everyone is welcome" as long as you don't show up expecting to be yourself. I have stopped visiting Florida since 2019 and have no intention of visiting there again even though my sister and her family live there. I am not the only person I know who has taken Florida off their list of places to visit because of this. I truly hope things change in the future.
