Now it looks that is frozen over with some solid ice...did they leave the pool filled, or did it just flood this much to nearly fill it to the brim?

Bridge? No no...we always got in trouble when we tried to walk on it!

Strange to see all the loungers just stacked up where they were left at the end of the final season. I wonder what all the people who once worked and stayed at this place would say if they could see it now. Derelict holiday resorts always have a strange kind of melancholy for me just because you know that so many happy summers were spent here and childhood memories made that are still precious to this day.

you could go on the bridge. you just had to do it at night and it helped if you lived in one of the small cabanas... the doors in the background.

Omg, this shot it totally amazing. In fact, i think that this hotel totally amazing. If not for the graffiti in the pool, it's as if life in this hotel froze in an instant and remained that way untouched (well almost) until today.

Thanks Lynne.

I wonder why they put that bridge there if you couldn't go on??!! I guess for aesthetic purposes. Tom Tom told me what it was for, but I ain't tellin!

Tom Tom.... Could you please just have a little respect.... PLEASE? There are people here to enjoy this nice site. It is not respectful of you to the site or the other people on the site for you to be consistently vulgar and insistantly vulgar. Nobody cares about your sex life or wants to hear about it. Do you discuss these things with your mother? Your daughter? The lady checking you out at the grocery store? Think!

sincerely

Sorry, Sincerely. Tom Tom really is a good guy. I miss him terribly! Where are you TT, you need to defend yourself!

I think this Tom Tom is an imposter. He would have put his comments IN ALL CAPS!

Looks like fun.

I finally am breaking down and posting. I stayed and worked at THe Pines during 1974-1978. I would love a phone or key(do have 2 forgto to give back) for memories. As for the pool. Many mid night swims. the indoor pool use to open at nights for mid night swms.

You turned me into a nun Tom Tom. You didn't know what you were doing when we got it on at the pool back in the 80's. Therefore, I am nun now. Thank you.

now that it is summer the chairs are no longer there stacked up they alow paint ball tornamemts there now every thursdays and sundays its a shame i went in there and now the pool is filled with dirty water and there are all the chairs thrown in there its a shame what these people have done the jewish cant burn it down they wont allow it. i think they should just leave it. or mabey they should make it a homless shelter. its a shame what the jews are doing just because they need more property.

My friend named her fish "STD".....soon to die. Once my cousin left fish in an old kiddy pool and they lived for a couple months in there, no food (or so he said). Anyways, looks like a fun pool.

@kristi
A) Those were some pretty rude comments about Jews
B) What's the use of a homeless shelter in the Catskills? That's just stupid. Homeless shelters need to be in urban areas, you know, so homeless people can actually get to them
C) Why do you want to shove the homeless into crumbling, asbestos-filled death traps? That's not very nice...
