“Shuttered storefronts and eroding retail sales figures show tourism and the Bush memorabilia business are slumping” in Crawford, TX. “In 2004, gross retail sales in Crawford totaled $2.6 million. They fell to $2 million in 2006, down by more than 20 percent.” Residents say that “the president’s sagging popularity is at least partly to blame for the slump in visitors.”
