Tourist season in Mystic; hotels fill up, people take their kids to the seaport and the aquarium, and watch a drawbridge go up and down. Then, if they don't blow their life savings, they think it would be great to live there. And then they either buy or build an expensive house that drives up the property values and property taxes of people who've lived there their whole lives. Then those people leave. And the ones who stay have to deal with liberal snobs ruining their hometown. Thanks, jerks.
@knp278 I liked Mystic when I was a kid, before the tourists destroyed it.

I just drove over this bridge yesterday! I was hoping it would open, but I wasn't lucky enough to see it in action! Nice video!
