LeRoy Douglas (Douglas Corp) was just indicted and arraigned for environmental crimes. So many stories and angles, most missing details.

That TripAdvisor review was a fun read.
I never accept Tripadvisor reviews without many caveats.
There are so many obviously faked reviews in that system, it is almost useless. Negatives are often real, but probably subjectively tainted.
I also like to look at the reviewer’s record. If they have many reviews – a power-user – then their opinions are quite useful. Those with only one review strike me as fake or someone really pissed.
There are better (more fun) reviews out there.
