I’ve always enjoyed movies for their pure escapism and who doesn’t want to escape what we’ve been through already ya know? I also like being wrapped around a movie completely.

Opinion: When is a VHR not a VHR?
Submitted by Anonymous on Tue, 08/06/2019 - 3:32pm

This property is in a residentially zoned neighborhood outside the "casino core" area.
It is no wonder that residents are becoming more concerned about VHRs. It seems more and more that VHR stands for Vacation Hotel Rental versus Vacation Home Rental.
