I have an uncle that lives about a half hour away from Gettysburg and I'm there a lot, and I think it would really take away from the town and atmosphere. Being able to go take a battlefield tour then hit the slots just seems wrong.Janellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15222907860631048294noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4270022434696593881.post-54250329620570368422011-04-16T18:14:41.447-07:002011-04-16T18:14:41.447-07:00Maybe it's just me, but doesn't the idea o...Maybe it's just me, but doesn't the idea of having a casino around the area of one of the worst battles fought in the civil war sound really disrespctful?Rin Liddelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05474641960769506417noreply@blogger.com
