#1: Grossingers has everything, Part I
A couple years back I posted a video about Grossinger’s resort in the Catskills, a once enormous 1200 acre vacation resort. I never visited the resort while it was open but I was struck by its beauty in its decay. I expected the video to get some views and comments but what I didn’t expect is that It would get comments that inspired me to make a podcast. What I was struck by is the emotion and detail of these comments and I wanted to share them, but YouTube wasn’t the right place for this, I needed a longer format.
Podcast…thats it!
So here we are, this is my first ever completed episode of the Find It podcast featuring those stories and more.
I welcome your comments and questions. You can comment below or email me at finditpodcast@gmail.com.
