Florence Needs to Do More to Support Huntsville

 

We've mentioned before how we view the "logic" of promoting towns that don't return the favor. Yet that is how Canada-native Ron Carnegie likes to do it. Yes, your Florence tax dollars paid for the above logo. Think that's odd? 

Fame Recording Studios is about to celebrate its 65th anniversary with a huge two-day shindig in...Huntsville. If you look carefully at the list of sponsors at the bottom of the ads, you'll see the Florence Tourism logo.

How does that work? Tourists party for two days in Huntsville and then decide to take in Florence or other Shoals towns since they have so much energy and money to spare?

Could you splain that one to the citizens of Florence as they pay that 9.5% sales tax?
