Perhaps you don't know the town has a fictional historic story behind it's design. Katie Belle and her hotel held a leading role in that story. Example from that story what does the names on the fence on the side of the old box office represent ? Did you ever stop to read the bronze plaques attached to many of the buildings. They do have significance to the town's design.
The story does not matter if the business cannot make money! The Village residents are the only ones to blame for a closure! This applies to anywhere in the Villages. Not just Spanish Springs!
