ReplyDeleteSome of these pics made me nostalgic in a sad way.
A company I worked for 20 years in my hometown, has been torn down years ago. I was on the bowling league with that company, and that bowling place has been torn down years ago. Oh, and so sad to see the swimming pools gone by the wayside.
I believe these are photos of the former Grossinger's resort in the Catskill mountains of New York.

DeleteWe have many abandoned resorts like these on the East Coast.
ReplyDeleteMost have been done in by the boom of air travel in the 1970’s with the arrival of jumbo jets, and the booming cruise ship industry that followed.
