I have always been curious about the summer months of the small towns we are privileged to enjoy all winter , Mcbride in particular. I was only lucky enough to be able to spend a couple days in Mcbride this winter and I was surprised by the amount of businesses closed and houses for sale. Can someone that has more insight into the summer economics of these winter paradises please chime in and educate me on what keeps these towns afloat in what I will call "our off season". I am also from a small town and understand the challenges smaller rural centers deal with but it is concerning to see from the outside looking what seems like a town in a tail spin. I hope I am wrong and mean no disrespect to the town or its residents.
