I hope it gets restored. It would be fun to study. Back in the 50’s and 60’s there were Jewish resorts in the Adirondack Mountains. Today most are shambles. Don Rickles, and a bunch of Jewish comedians cut their teeth there. It was called the “borscht belt”.

PO1 William "Chip" Nagel Some things have changed for the worse... like all the laws being changed to make it more difficult for minorities to vote.
"Inside effort to restore resort town that was once paradise for Black Americans Idlewild, a summer resort town built in Michigan in the 1920s, was once a reprieve from segregation and the horrors that came with being Black in America. Things changed after the Civil Rights Act of 1964 was signed and Black families had more places to go."
