I respect your viewpoint, but in my day, living in Connecticut (60’s + 70’s), the Catskills were referred to as “The Jewish Alps”, by both Jews, and Gentiles, alike ;)

Thanks !

How could anyone write an article about the Catskills and not refer to it by the term every one used..”The Borscht Belt..”

I grew up in CT around the same time, and knew plenty of Jewish kids in the local public elementary school and later in prep school. The only reference I recall to the Catskills one way or the other was to the Catskill Game Farm.

The prep school kids went vacationing regularly, but VT for skiing and FL for sun were the only places referenced.
