by Deborah Evans-Price - the boot
When it comes to attracting country music-loving tourists, Nashville and Branson might be singing a new tune – something like ‘Sweet Home Alabama’ – with the Dec. 1 grand opening of Country Crossing in Dothan, Ala. George Jones, Darryl Worley, Lorrie Morgan, John Anderson and Tracy Lawrence are among the stars who’ll open restaurants at the new development.
George and Lorrie were among a Nashville contingent that flew to Alabama recently to introduce press to the project, developed by Alabama entrepreneur Ronnie Gilley. As subsequent phases are completed, the site will also house the 10,000-seat Mandolin Grove Amphitheater, Bluegrass Hollow RV Park, a bowling center, recording studio, hotels and a hall where visitors can play electronic bingo. Country Crossing will also be home to the George Jones Possum Holler Bed & Breakfast as well as a George Jones Dinner Theater and Restaurant.
