Last weekend, in one of the largest fires ever seen in our Catskill county, the Grandview Palace burned. It originally opened in 1944 as the Brown's Hotel. Y'all know it as the inspiration for "Dirty Dancing". It had been converted into condominiums that almost four hundred people called home. Thank G-d no residents' or firefighters' lives were lost, due to the diligent ground patrol, as well as multiple responsive companies, including Brian's. Just a few weeks ago, Ellenville's Tamarack also burned; that one proved to be arson related. Enough said.
