Default Another good aritcle about the Bearsville Theater Complex

I realize that this page is supposed to be about hand made guitars and not about old buildings, But since so many of you will be coming back soon, I thought you'd like to see how the old place is doing;

https://www.poughkeepsiejournal.com/...ng/4736687002/

It will be reopening soon and I hope they have a successful run. In the article it says that one of the bidders for the sight wanted to build a hotel on the property. How would you have felt about it if the show moved into a modern hotel complex with a new exhibition hall?

And speaking of hotels. We have a newly renovated hotel in Shandaken, just about 20 minutes west of Bearsville;

https://www.shandakeninn.com/

It looks beautiful and it's been a long time coming. That place has been through a series of owners who never had what it takes to make it work. This has been a major, soup to nuts rebuilding of the place.

And I've never heard anyone mention the Emerson;

This is another really nice place in Shandaken, just about 15 minutes from the Bearsville Theater. It's been there for about 10 years.

Hope you all are busily making some great instruments to bring in October. I'll see you there!

That's a nice update by the news paper, thanks for posting it Lowrider.
It's wonderful to see the new owners step up and put this amazing amount of money into the facility and want to retain it's wonderful character, It's such a beautiful location, I'm glad it found new owners with the means and determination to update the buildings, I wish them the best.
