- JCJamie Lee ChalouxMar 21, 20185.0The women at the visitors bureau are the friendliest, most helpful ladies I've had the pleasure of talking to as far as city employees are concerned. These women went out of there way to find the exact information I was looking for as well as additional information. They were very patient and polite as well! They deserve a very nice gesture and a free lunch as a bonus for a job well done. Thank You Ladies!
