I Worked there at The Pines. I helped set up Conventions and Worked with some Pretty Cool Guys from NYC! I wrote a Rap Song about Everyone Working Together. No! It Didn't go Platnum! I went up to Brooklyn to visit a Cousin and I wanted to visit Upstate New York,because When I was Younger, I lived in Monticelllo and I worked out of Mason's Employment Agency and would work at Different Country Clubs to help Pay My Bills and since moved to Texas to become a Federally Licensed Merchant Mariner and Work Offshore on Offshore Working Boats. I also write Scripts now. In 1992, I went to see some Friends I knew when I lived in Monticello and went to Meodoff's Employment & The Woman there hooked me up with The Pines & I Worked there until the Season Slacked,and returned to Texas to Continue My Job Offhore. I see these photos,and I am Saddened that The Pines was So Neglected and Left in the Condition it is in now! But... Nothing Ever stays the same and We Move on,I Guess! If Any of You Guys are reading this...HEY!! Stay Cool and May God be Your King!! WORD!

I realize how tempting it is to take things from abandoned property but if everyone took something it would make the pictures a lot less interesting.

There nearest sort of place to this I've stayed at was in the Highlands Of Scotland.

I went on a coach tour & were the only couple under 50, but we didn't really mind.

One highligh was a train journey from Fort William to the small fishing port of Maliag.
When we got there we went into a cafe & were surprised to notice at the next table were 2 women chatting loudly in New York accents. We didn't speak to them but they might have come to a place like this at one time in the past.
I first really heard of the Catskills resorts after seeing something on Joan Rivers.

The Simpsons did give them a brief mention but I didn't get the irony.
It looks like a penguin enclosure at a zoo.
This wouldn't look out of place in one of the 1970s scenes in Dreamgirls or Forrest Gump.
I wondered if an Urbexer leaves a lone chair at a random point as a calling card.
Has anyone tried dialing 914 434 600?
It just needs a 1970s hexagonal patterned carpet to be from The Shining.

That film always reminds me of the Imperial Hotel in Llandudno, which is one of the few big old hotels I've stayed at.

My Dad worked for IBM UK for years & in the 1980s they used to invite their employees & families to a weekend break.

Normally this was late in the year when most seaside hotels are empy.

As the main event was adults only many of the children would be a bit short of things to do, so me & by brother would amuse ourselves by exporing the corridors. We always worried that we would get in trouble, but I can't remember doing so,

If I next have a weekend break I'll try & go back there, it's been refurbished recently according to it's website, hopefully not too much.
