#2: Grossingers has everything, Part II
This episode is part of a 2 part series; please listen to episode 1 to get the back story and see the post for images of what Grossinger’s looked like.
Part 2 of “Grossinger’s has everything” goes into the demise of not just the hotel but the Catskill area. Hear about that and more in this episode.
Below are my photos, followed by some from guest Marisa Scheinfeld (with permission) and then some from Harold Lieberman. Below that you will find the image from a fellow urbex-er that was the image he sent me that made me so emotional.
