1,916 Comments for The Pines Hotel

Hey Mr. Motts-was the old rink still there when you explored the Pines?

@ Sharon Day-Thanks for the mention of the Pines site! This hotel must have been a great place in its day. I especially like the shot of the skating rink on the site-it's amazing how some of these old resorts had rinks in them. I would have gone there-I was a figure skater in high school-it was a lot of fun! : )

I played in the Billy Alfred Orchestra in the Persian Room, while Speedy Garfin was killing them in the lounge, for two summers, 1973-74 and two winters (weekends) and I just found this site. At the time I was just 23 and now, seeing these beautiful, yet sad pictures 36 years later, I am moved. As with anyone who worked there or was a guest, i had so many fantastic things happen. I got to play for so many comics, singers, and dancers, and experience so many "firsts" in my life that now, looking back, I miss it more than I ever realized.

Hi everyone. I'm new here. Just wanted to say hi

I totaly agree with TOMTOM what he say. TomTom you DUDE??????

Hi! My name is Debbie. and i am addict to opacity everyday. This is my number one site.

Hi Denise! This palce looks like it could be a school, hospital or office building but not a resort. Very institutional like most buildings in the 60's. People thought that it was beautiful architecture back then. Its horrible!

Hi, I hope you don't mean Steve Gapin........does anyone know if thats the Stevie Sandy is talking about????? Patty

who was the guy .. cant remember his name.. kind of a bad boy.. eventually I heard that he was gored by a bull and died.

oh.. i remember Stevie!

I was a waitress at Sunnycroft on weekends and summer around 1967. I remember Scott well. He took the horses late at night and we rode bare back in the snow one weekend. I was friends with Steve Gapin and have tried to locate him on net. Does anyone have a clue on Steve? I was in a bad car accident one summer at sunnycroft and had to stop working for awhile. Lots of CRAZY times but great memories and glad to have made it past some of those crazy things we did. Its great to read Scot and Annette are well. I think I also remember a guy named Ari, Mike and Gino. Happy you are all doing so well, Patty

I hear you talking about lombardis. I was there around 72' and when I was at sunnycroft there was a bar next door and esters was across the street. I'm horrible with names. I remember gino and his g/f with fond memories and would love to hear about them. If anyone has any information on how there doing I would love to hear about them and Rich who was a jack of all trades and was hired about the same time I was. He was skinny and I remember he dances by sliding all over the floor. He was really sweet. I use to live in the room with gino g/f and a couple of other girls. Let me hear from you guys.

I remember frenchie. He liked me so he use to let me have milk. No one else was suppose to have it. I also remember the munchies and Monk would have the key to the refrigerators so we would go to the kitchen and raid the cheesecake. It was actually the first time I ever had cheese cake. Now I'm addicted it was so good. Does anyone remember the name of the jockey who use to come there. I forgot his name he was really short. I am so bad with names. What was the name of the women who ran the place. She was monks g/f and lost a lot of weight for him. Her brother was a doctor.
