Prison officers block news crew from tourist site [View all] hrmjustin Jul 2014 OP

Shortly after moving to the Saratoga Region in 1997... Cooley Hurd Jul 2014 #1

Seems tragic. Can't get to a historical site because of a prison. hrmjustin Jul 2014 #2

Bummed the hell out of me at the time... Cooley Hurd Jul 2014 #3

You would think they would make accommodations for people. hrmjustin Jul 2014 #4

They did, by restricting access 10 out of 12 months of the year... Cooley Hurd Jul 2014 #5

I hope you get to see it soon. hrmjustin Jul 2014 #6

Me too! Apparently, the flowers that surrounded his bed as he passed are still there! Cooley Hurd Jul 2014 #7

Wow! They must take great care of the place. hrmjustin Jul 2014 #8

I'm guessing they just don't mess with it... Cooley Hurd Jul 2014 #9

Beautiful cabin. I would love to see it someday. hrmjustin Jul 2014 #10

I visited there several times as a little kid, before the prison Rhiannon12866 Jul 2014 #11

Wow, that must be a blast from the past. hrmjustin Jul 2014 #12

I remember going once with my parents (and grandmother) and think my Dad was even creeped out Rhiannon12866 Jul 2014 #13

I love cemeteries Horance Greenly is buried right by my brother-in-law's mother. hrmjustin Jul 2014 #14

My grandmother always took us to cemeteries when I was a kid Rhiannon12866 Jul 2014 #15

Lol a very I teresting place to learn where to drive. hrmjustin Jul 2014 #16

Guess my grandmother had steadier nerves than my parents, LOL Rhiannon12866 Jul 2014 #17

lol, I never learned how to drive. hrmjustin Jul 2014 #18

It's pretty necessary up here in the North Country Rhiannon12866 Jul 2014 #19

Mta gets me everywhere. hrmjustin Jul 2014 #20

My Dad wouldn't even drive in the City. Rhiannon12866 Jul 2014 #21

Have you been to Howes Cavern? hrmjustin Jul 2014 #22

Weird, I was just discussing this with a friend on Thursday! Rhiannon12866 Jul 2014 #23

I would too. I went as a kid when we did a trip to the capital region. hrmjustin Jul 2014 #24

I heard that. As you know, I think that's a terrible idea Rhiannon12866 Jul 2014 #25

Casinos are not doing that great because they are popping up all over the place. hrmjustin Jul 2014 #26

I voted against it. Rhiannon12866 Jul 2014 #27

AC had that happen to it. hrmjustin Jul 2014 #28

It's all about the $$$, but we really don't need that type of "tourism." Rhiannon12866 Jul 2014 #29

16 comapnies are now trying to get licensed to do it. hrmjustin Jul 2014 #30

It's all about the $$$ Rhiannon12866 Jul 2014 #35

And addictive. It will destroy families. hrmjustin Jul 2014 #36

A friend of a friend of mine got stuck at the "Racino" in Saratoga Rhiannon12866 Jul 2014 #37

Just completely wrong. I wonder how many people that happens to. hrmjustin Jul 2014 #38

No doubt more than we ever hear about. Rhiannon12866 Jul 2014 #39

I wonder if the race tracks or casinos feel guilty or do anything to get them home. hrmjustin Jul 2014 #40

I doubt it, must happen pretty frequently. Rhiannon12866 Jul 2014 #41

My cosinworks in one and he says degenerates tend to go there. hrmjustin Jul 2014 #42

The track attracts the very rich and very poor. Rhiannon12866 Jul 2014 #43

Sounds like fun. Belmont is fun to go to sometimes. hrmjustin Jul 2014 #44

And many of those same horses come to Saratoga in August Rhiannon12866 Jul 2014 #45

they got the otb out of this area. it attracted undesirables. hrmjustin Jul 2014 #46

We still have it around here and it certainly does... Rhiannon12866 Jul 2014 #54

I saw the state set up hearing dates for casinos. hrmjustin Jul 2014 #56

Very cool link, thanks! Rhiannon12866 Jul 2014 #58

It looks like it is here to stay. hrmjustin Jul 2014 #59

Glad you signed up for mirt again. hrmjustin Jul 2014 #53

And I'm so glad that you did, as well! Rhiannon12866 Jul 2014 #55

Yeah. should be cool. hrmjustin Jul 2014 #57

I agree that this looks like a great MIRT team, lots of terrific MIRTers are back... Rhiannon12866 Jul 2014 #60

yeah I am not sure lumping lbn with the rest is a great idea. hrmjustin Jul 2014 #61

That's pretty much what happened with the mods, as well. Rhiannon12866 Jul 2014 #62

I notice group hosts are getting the boot. hrmjustin Jul 2014 #63

Well, they just can't post in the host forum. Rhiannon12866 Jul 2014 #64

are you going to sign up? hrmjustin Jul 2014 #65

Do you have to sign up again for it? Rhiannon12866 Jul 2014 #66

yeah you will likely get on right away. hrmjustin Jul 2014 #67

Are they choosing hosts like they chose mods? Rhiannon12866 Jul 2014 #68

You have to be star member and no hides. hrmjustin Jul 2014 #69

Oh! I guess I missed that! Rhiannon12866 Jul 2014 #70

lol there will be pissed off people tomorrow but they got a days warning. hrmjustin Jul 2014 #71

Yup, just read the post for the third time and I caught it, LOL. Rhiannon12866 Jul 2014 #72

I think non active hosts need to be removed. hrmjustin Jul 2014 #73

I agree. Rhiannon12866 Jul 2014 #74

or people we know never show up. hrmjustin Jul 2014 #75

There has always been a few who forget or never show up Rhiannon12866 Jul 2014 #76

How can you forget mirt? the pms are never ending. hrmjustin Jul 2014 #77

I know!!! Rhiannon12866 Jul 2014 #78

oh I get rid of it right away. hrmjustin Jul 2014 #79

I tend to like to look back Rhiannon12866 Jul 2014 #80

they all become a blur after awhile. hrmjustin Jul 2014 #81

I wish I was as good at remembering names as some are. Rhiannon12866 Jul 2014 #82

Why don't they have one? hrmjustin Jul 2014 #83

I'm not sure, but that would be at the top of my wish list. Rhiannon12866 Jul 2014 #84

maybe I will get to an ata post about it. hrmjustin Jul 2014 #85

That's a good idea, have often considered it, but am reluctant to bring up MIRT topics there Rhiannon12866 Jul 2014 #86

Clear skies and cool here. hrmjustin Jul 2014 #87

It's been hot as blazes here numerous times so far this summer Rhiannon12866 Jul 2014 #88
