My ‘baby’ turned 6 today. Among her gifts were purple Converse. What could be cooler? Bonus – she can tie them herself!

Unity House Resort, 20 years after

April 15, 2009

About a million years ago, I worked at Unity House Resort in the Poconos. Four magical summers spent on the lake lifeguarding. Sigh. Those were the days. But those days were also 20 years ago, and the resort in question has been closed for those 20 years.  The property was purchased, and the Mountain Laurel Center for the Performing Arts was built. Most of the original resort buildings remain. Went to a few events there. It was very nice.

The property has now been purchased by a developer, and its fate is in the hands of the economy. I went back yesterday and met an old co-worker, and we walked around, reminiscing about the wonderful times spent living and working there. This is the old girl today:
