Ok guys, I gotta confess...

Branson is also typically thought of as the second capital of country music in the US (the first being Nashville obviously.)

Perhaps the worst thing about it is the county it's in voted for Todd Akin by 20 points.

Another fairly interesting thing about Branson is that it has a per capita crime rate comparable to that of Camden, though this is common in tourist heavy areas because the actual population is much lower than people there, and the per capita is driven up. I think the highest crime city in New Jersey isn't Camden, Newark or East Orange, but rather than the tourism heavy Ocean City for that reason as well.
