That surprises me that she holds such a view when her very livelihood is dependent upon those she wishes to GOHOME. If tourists decided to go elsewhere and spent less money at Skelley's, there would be less need for services at Skelley's (translation: less hours available to work).
I am sure she is a nice lady and I am sure she, as well as many of us, put up with a lot of guff from the non-residents. My point is that it is the non-residents who pay for the bulk of what we as a town spend in our budget and a little appreciation towards those who actually foot the bill for all we are able to do would be nice.
Some think the plate is funny, some think my out of town visitor acquaintance (who I encouraged to come visit) should be more thick-skinned. I am of the thought that we need to be more appreciative to the non-residents.

What surprises ME is your lack of knowledge revolving around an irrelevant issue of which you have created. I hope you feel better about yourself for trying to make a statement over something you have no actual knowledge about. Her license plate simply says "gohome", not "gohomeoutofstaterswhosupportoureconomy"...
