Schroon’s New Lake Wine and Liquor Store Now Open

For more than a year, signs on the former Bobcat Sports Store on Route 9, promised Schroon Lakers, something sorely missed:  a wine and liquor store.

Now the space-- which used to house live bait and many a nose holding assortment of smells -- has been replaced by a gleaming showroom, full of an assortment of adult beverages.

We’ll have the full story on the amazing transformation later this week, but in the meantime check  out their awesome logo, with its unique hat tip to the place so many of us love!

Living On Top Of an Adirondack Missile Silo

Channel 10 is promoting a scary storyThursday at 6pm, about the health dangers of abandoned cold war era missile silos in the Adirondacks. In researching what they might be up to, I stumbled upon what may be the most wild story about a house in the Adirondacks I’ve ever read. It involves a New York film location scout Nick Carr, who found out about a one of a kind house,  built on top of a decommissioned 1960’s missile launch site near Plattsburgh.

The purchaser was a builder, who in 1995 put up a few houses and an airstrip on the property, and was now looking to sell it.

Nick got into the house and photographed what was left of the nine story underground silo. Check out Nick’s story and AMAZING photos here.
