“Some day this bike lane war’s gonna end, but today is not that day.”
Just curious.
This is a pic of my Paternal Granddad from the WWII Memorial Registry.

I went to the Concord with a giant NYS BOCES (Board of Cooperative Educational Services) School Group. I’d never seen anything like that before. I was swimming in the afternoon and ice-skating at night. Drunk ice skating that is, I flirted like crazy with a bar-back who was working in the room Jay Leno was preforming in (My friend and I managed to slip in). I convinced him to hang out with us after he finished and also got him to snag a few bottles which he was kind enough to personally deliver to our room. I was so bad.
The giant dining hall was amazing though. like 2,000 people dining all at the exact same time. The food was good too. I can’t imagine the effort it took to pull that off. Was a blast.
Glad I got to see it, even if it was slightly past it’s heyday.
Biff’s Bubby is HAAAAAAWWTTTTT!!!!!!!!
Kai Tak – only the most experienced pilots were allowed to fly into her
Have to admit here
I think Gabby’s doing a great job in place of Mr.B
she’s been really quick in posting threads
ok back to Biff’s Catskill pics
Biff, guess you lucky that the good looks were handed down the generations. My grandfather was a super good looking dude. I remember my brother & I found that picture of our grandfather and we both say “what happened to the good looks?” (as we looked at each other and our father)
hey benson, not in any disagreement re GM, was just trying to answer the question.
Nice link, Biff,
Apparently, one of my great-grandparents passed up a chance to invest in Grossinger’s when it was starting out. I did go once as a kid to each of the Concord, the Raleigh and Kutschers at the very end of the schmaltzy heyday. Concord was by far the schmaltziest.
Interesting link Biff–that photo of the chairs in the pool is eery/sad
