Story said the resort closed a few years ago.

My folks went to The Balsams to vacation, but I never got there.

He's hoping more people will move there and presidential candidates will come back next election.

"this should come as no surprise because being a Senator from Vermont, Bernie is well known here"... as if Hillary shouldn't be well known?

Thanks for the thread, elleng.

Any Repug news?

today will be mighty.

That's how they'll spin it.

Bernie!!

GOTV, New Hampsha!

Bernie pulled into an early lead in NH, and so the pundits had to negate it somehow, so they pushed with the Rand McNally theory of Presidential politics.

It was a big deal in my house; the very first vote of the Presidential campaign. My mom was a big Democrat supporter. To her, the Democrats were all about helping the poor and middle class; the Republicans were all about the rich.

Need I say it? We were among the poor.

Not that you were among the poor, but that your mother included it in your education so early.

She worked full time, maintained a household with four kids, her mother and her bedridden grandmother in our tiny two bedroom rental house, all on her own.

The good news; every one of her four children went on to college and prosperous careers.

The bad; she was finally able to retire thanks to Social Security and Medicare, and died within six months.

God, how I still miss her, forty years later.
