KarpteachWhat do locals call tourists in your town?
In NewYohkistan, there are many names for tourist.. ie
Victims payday chumps and a few others.
With the crime levels in NY, I can’t imagine why anyone would want to come here.

AKSuperDually"Dip-heads" "Dip-shits" "Dip-Libs" (Anchoragites who descend onto our quiet town to dip for fish)
Of course..."the crazies" probably our nicest term for the snowbirds who come here and change the pace of everything for the worse for 4 months.

corsairMoney, as in big-time international money.
Around here people flood-in seeking Michelin-stared restaurants, 5-star boutique hotels with vistas of vineyards and usually apart of an endless parade of expensive weddings, bachelorette parties, anniversaries, mixed-in with blacked-out SUVs, luxury Sprinter vans, catering vehicles and lost Uber drivers. There's some benefits being a resident of a destination location, fortunately, I'm nowhere close to concentrated tourist areas as such things tend to be spread out.
