Why is this happening to all these places in the Catskills? You'd think now more than ever people would want this back!

@Micks1943 You would think that.. but sadly, that's not the case. Most of the resorts from the Adirondacks are gone too.

I wanted to cry so bad, even though I've never been there, I still want to cry. =;(

It would seem so true that closer resorts could make a comeback. They should add gambling to these areas.More so now with the bad economy keeping people closer to home plus skyrocketing airfare and their "nickel and diming". It would seem people would want to vacation closer these days. Some thought has to be put into making these scenic areas vital again....

My parents honeymooned at Grossingers and we spent every summer of my life until I was 16 in the Catskills. They were the best, most special summers any kid could have had. Thanks for posting this, even tho it's so sad that it's all gone now.

memories that I can never have, very very sad. I just want to cry because those must have been good times that i'll never get to see......

I wish the History Channel, or someone, would do a major documentary on this place--"The Rise and Fall of the Catskills". They could tell the story of how the area first began to develop, and show pictures and footage of the resorts in their heyday. Then they could go into reasons for the decline, and give us an official tour of some of the ruins--focusing on the flagship places like Grossingers and The Pines.
