Yes he and his music has and continues to have an impact on the Augusta economy, even if it's 1 tourist who comes here to pay tribute, take a photo with his statue or what ever pleases them who otherwise would have never come or had a reason to come to Augusta that's an economic impact there's no telling how many of his fans visit because of this and only this reason but I'm sure there are plenty.

Was talk of making his BeechIsland estate into a museum / tribute to JB. A lot of momentos and such has been lost to the highest bidder already; apparently, little planning was done for the tribute to the Godfather.
