Ahh, I was in the Wallingford area, that would explain why we didn’t talk about upstate NY so much.

CT WAS a great place. Sometimes when people ask me where I was from, I would say Krypton, my home planet blew up a long time ago.

I worked for a time in the Pocono’s......also lived about seven years in communities close to it.

I remember from my youth the ads for places like the Mount Airy Lodge. :)

Pretty much abandoned today

Here's the ski lodge at Mt Airy Lodge now...

[Dr. Sivana]

Didn’t one of those places run ads with Barbi Benton singing?

[caww]

I don’t know....sorry....
