The Bum Steer had a gas explosion a number of years ago. Think someone was also killed in it. The entire center of the building was gone and stood for a few years until it was finally knocked down. The old "Fore and Aft" out on Rte 6 is also gone. Burned down and was subsequently demolished within the last few months. I can attest to the fact that Brewster, especially near the train station and along the main drag looks like a Central American town with hundreds of illegals standing on the sidewalks and street corners waiting to be picked up by homeowners and contractors.
Basically, these people are really being used and exploited and is a sad commentary on how this country allows this to go on. That we have to rely on a permanent underclass to work in our economy. They may be making good money compared to where they came from but they are really surfs here.
Just trying to look at this from another angle aside from the illegal immigration standpoint.

And that is the other half of this tragedy. You are dead on, headstamp.
Our imported serf class likes volleyball. No way do you get such crowds without drinking and gambling on the game. Any cockfighting too in ye olde Connecticut towne?
