This Ole Texan is in Yankee country. Vacationing with the family in Ocean City Maryland, Then we leave and head to New York, up in the Catskills, close by Woodstock. Not sure I can handle Yankee land for 3 weeks, but I must say the beach has been great so far this week
 
Catskills, Resorts, "Dirty Dancing", a popular 1987 film. It was a famous line uttered in the film by Johnny (Patrick Swayze). The location for some of the shoot was the Brown's Hotel in the Catskills. It has since burned down, after being turned into condominiums. The main shooting location was Mountain Lake Resort near Roanoke VA. the movie's setting was supposed to be the Borscht Belt of hotels that thrived in the Catskills until the late 70s. By the time the film was made, about a summer in 1963, most of the Borscht Belt hotels had already closed down.

More than you wanted to know, but the movie is the only impression most of us have about the Catskills. At least those of us who have never been there.
