Heh... well it sure is a nice comment, thanks!!

Ha. I'm the doofus who posted basically the same comment 2 years almost to the day apart.

This image has stayed with me across the several years that I've been visiting your site. It really sparked an interest in abandonment for me! There's just something about that shade of green....

it breaks my heart y
to see what has happened to this once great resort. i cry everytime I see these photos. I was there as a guest in the late 60's and early 70's during the Christmas and New Year holidays. Bernie Cove (aka Platnikof) was a very unique individual. Don Brower was his second in command (one of the good guys).My dear friends were Toby and Kenny Milgrim(great couple by the way),Norman Ostrin and his wife who owned the store Sarafinas in the hotel, toby also had her store. the Walls who had the coffee shop(Kevin and I beame good friends when I returned in 1991. His father could be a real pain in the ass at times. As time grew on over the years I think he finally respected me. My years working up there were as much fun and laughs as you can imagine. it was me ,flex,Fred Chassman9you can call him Dr.), s
Sammy (3 finger) Rak,Jeffrey Semel(my cousin and best friend. aqlso Dr.), Burton Singer(where the hell are you?), Jeanie and Dotty,Howie and Risa and Bruce, Villy the waiter,Andrew, my dear friends Myron and Shotsie,Harvey Choen(what a shnoz),Lenny and the kitchen guys, Eddie(is the coffee kosher,sure is the Rabbi peed in it), Big George(love Jeanie,"FUCK BERNIE"), my man Jessie, and of course all the chefs who wanted to cut your hands off. i didn't forget Miles(worst waiter in the history of the Pines),Kenny (space cadet) Arinoff, The Savarin brothers, Steve and Jeff, from my hometown, Jewlett, and the young Chassman and Rak boys. Also my dear friend Nelson Kultz(great poker player and played a hell of a hot corner). I replaced big Julie as the best windmill pitcher the Pines ever had. Sorry Jules. I can remember a million other things and people(Qualludes and other wonderful subsyances). I should write a book about my years at this wonderful place and the wonderful people I've met during those years. Haven't forgot about you Steven Aban and the iced tea!! If you read this please contact me at feeny24@gmail.com. Memories, thank god we have them.

Green mint is my fav

Up the down staircase. Really cool photo

We visited this site yesterday. It has changed a lot. We took some pictures, you can view them on my Facebook, along with some other places we've explored. Look in the urban decay album.

I actually explored this place in recent weeks. The floors across the stairs from the window are completely collapsed now.

yea, this foyer looks nothing now like it did when this photo was taken

I remember that pool I was there with my family in 1979

I almost took a trip there a while ago while in NY, but didn't have a parking plan, which can be a deal breaker for certain locations.. (as I'm sure you already know lol)

I recall that parking was always an issue over there, but I don't remember where we ultimately parked... 2003 was a long time ago!

I know this is a strange question, one explorer to another, but where did you guys park?

When you were there you should have stood on the stage and sing " Don't Let Me Down" By The Beatles. Have you seen cheerleaders at high schools who wear the traditional pleeted skirts and names of the high schools please?
