It wasn’t long ago that it was voted “All American City”

There is so much potential lost in SL.  What to do? Image is so important – for tourism, business development, quality of life, and most importantly civic pride.  Someone must care about the Saranac Lake brand.  Who should lead the way?

SL does have some rough edges, and this guest could have *easily* been privy to some of them. Wandering off Broadway at 8 or 9pm on a Friday night ain't pretty. Combine that with the fact that there is very little to do at any time of the day, and compound it with a negative hotel experience. Would you go back? I wouldn't. Don't get me wrong - I love Saranac Lake, and it's town to me. But a destination, it ain't.
