Fickle Winter Weather


Rain today and near 40 degree temps are wreaking havoc on our great snow base. Hopefully people got out skiing and snowmobiling yesterday! we are expected to get more snow on Thursday and Friday.

Meanwhile, workers are busy on the NEW Prospect Mountain Diner. This quintessential 1950's restaurant suffered a devastating fire last May and the entire building had to be torn down along with the original metal diner. Thanks to the dedication of owner Art Leonhard he went "shopping" for a new metal fabricated diner. He found one and it was delivered two weeks ago to the site. workers are now buttoning it up and will build the kitchen part to the rear. Evidently there is going to be a contest (that will benefit the Prospect Family & Child Center) to win a seat opening day to sit in one of the 60 seats that will be available in the diner. The opening event is scheduled for February if all goes as planned. 6 of the original spindle counter chairs were saved from the fire and will installed in a prominant place in the new diner. The diner is located on RT 9 in Lake George. More info to follow with photos and where to purchase raffle tickets.

Congratulations to Art Leonhard, for replacing this piece of Lake George history. Many Americaders will be delighted to know that they can get an early breakfast again.
