Summer when the lawn is open is much cheaper for a quick lunch.

If you want to bounce a little higher look into Castle Hill in Newport. Legendary views, amazing prix fixe menu. I think six course is around $140pp? Wine pairings isn't cheap.

What are you looking to spend?

I thought the Merritt was built to resemble Mad Max

Nantucket year rounders are not rich.

South Coast has some ridiculous examples of 1%'ers abutting the poorest in the state.

Well he wasn't on Chad's dad's Gulfstream.

Fair, I use VDI once a month these days so not my game anymore.

LogMeIn is pretty nice. My wife's office uses it.

The trebuchet is quicker.

SR has a couple lifts that either liftees walk to or get a ride on a sled to. Not allowed to ride or ski on the clock.

>a running theme in Massachusetts is lift operators who have never attempted to ski and have no desire to

Aren't liftees in MA the same as everywhere else? Like 5 locals and 25 foreign kids on vacation?

Welcome to ski season 22/23. If its not the snow, its the resort.

Sunrise is for sale!

Green Bean is just good enough to hold onto Purchase Street too.

He's not competing with Cumbies. That is not the same demographic.

>there’s a place in near me that has gluten-free menu items.

I hate to break it to you, but Cumbies has gluten free items too.

There's like 3 of those. They most certainly don't dominate anywhere down here.

You missed out on New Bedford by a couple years. Mirasols just opened a location on the waterfront. There's a Dunkin and Green Bean downtown but neither seem to do very well overall. Mirasols I'm sure are gouging them to death. Not sure you want to fight with the land of chippis? But it's worth a look!

>Southeastern MA is an over saturated market. You’ll compete with: Dunks, Cumbies, HoneyDew, Starbucks, McDonalds and MaryLou’s.

There's tons of small shops that are thriving down here. They don't compete with the major brands at all.

"Get a rack stupid" -his insurance agent

This is absolutely huge. We have an old addition on our house that I still need to replace the windows on. The window wrap and draft tape is key to not mowing through all our oil every month.

Can we not?

Are those the same "industry leaders" that continually gut operations and make the customer experience worse every year while jacking prices through the roof?

Oh wait, those are the "operational improvements" and price of a "world class experience" that you're paid to shill. You don't have to show your hand so hard. Or do you actually believe them?

Those towns will be fine without the "industry leaders" and you. Not that you've ever been to any of them by your own admission.

If you compare what the big resort towns rely on from the mountain twenty years ago to what they rely on now, you'd find everything you claim to be patently false. Every single town has diversified well in advance of the resorts slowly becoming less of a thing.

Lets also address that those jobs were never guaranteed and the resorts outsource as many of them as they can to seasonal foreign workers that don't "need" them. Those jobs are rapidly becoming obsolete for the towns and the people to survive. And towns that solely exist due to the mountains will move on like many others have.

Those locals will be fine, their resume is longer than you can ever imagine.

A couple huge lakes, some mountains, and the Hudson. The divide between MA/VT and NY are natural.
