Hooray!!
Wait, Jimmy Buffett's Margaritaville , a casino, the gulf, a reasonable drive......My finances are in now in danger.
Maybe this isn't such a good idea after all.

At 48 million dollars and reports of a smaller size with a more laid back atmosphere instead of the upscale boutiques and shops I get the feeling that this time its going to be Jimmy's casino instead of just a licensing agreement.

That would be way cool.

I wonder if it will have an amphitheater? Heck Jimmy is a musician we know it will have a really nice musical performance venue. Will it be indoor or outdoor or some sort of collapsible roof?

This is a truly great announcement.

Cool
If you want an experience, go to a Jimmy Buffett concert.

Experience is something you don't get until just after you need it.

Life is short, live long!!

I'd rather be a wiseass than a dumbass.

I still find it hard to believe that Jimmy's Empire continues to grow and expand in this economy....... :o

I am a commercial loan officer (and have been one for 35 years) and can tell you that financing for these kind of projects remains difficult at best......I hope that JB doesn't get himself spread too thin on ventures like these. :roll:
On most days I say: "Wrinkles only go where the smiles have been...."
Sometimes I can only say: "There is no dumbass vaccine......"

If something or someone gets you down, just remember: "In a hundred years it all won’t matter.........."

Good point, I also hope this doesn't mean JB is retiring from singing either since he has to be there for these investments.

If he builds it, they will come.
If he sings in it, they will absolutely come!

I just look for him to eventually set up a Branson style camp in his Casino. So long to his traveling through the northern hinterlands and hello to coastal shows! :D
