Clint,  Has your tax assessment gone down now that the school is no longer a liability?  If so, how much?  

RGtray I don't think the Jailwater has done anything wrong.
I too blame the state.
I just will not be party to making it a success so others will see it as a good business plan.
That would not be in my (non local as I said) best interest.
Burger and beer at the Alt and Mickey Dees for breakfast.
 
Locals what is the story with the big A.
Went by earlier this month and it looked like something was going on.
 
PS the intent wasn't to start on a Jailwater tangent.
Just commented my thoughts after Dimes post.
 
 
 

Agree with Clint on the likely deal on frontage and with Trout on the initial non affect for Altmar's tax base due to the 10 year tax deal.
  In regard to the tax thing - hope the place does real well and stays in business or if it goes downhill doesn't sell in 8 years to someone else who wants a similar deal.
 Also agree with 2b about the tangent- just couldn't help myself.
Predict a separate thread this season as things heat up  - lol
( back to the chair and cooler theory- might get better than Tressel)

Gerry yea right.   TB what is the Big A

Wasn't Al's the name of the little grocery store by the village work buildings and the old PC (whatever hardware type store it is now) across from Fulton boiler plant?
Looked like they were gutting it to refinish it or emptying the place to go out of business.
Corner of bridge street by High bridge.

I gotta say and don't mean to sound selfish but unless the state raises the price of the launch or campground ( launch included ) I will be a happy camper in salmon country for years to come. Screw the jailwater .. Yes I lost my access there too. I used to frequent that hole very often in the winter, ice is nice now

I've always been a fan of the big lake shore camping myself but they close up before the real fish show up.
End up at whichever local dive motel will put up with me  and Lucky!

TB that place was Al,s corner market or something, I went in looking for something a while back and they did not have it .  I was not impressed by the quality or selection in there, with Tops up the road not surprised it went under. When I went by the other day in a vicodan induced haze I saw a bunch of equipment around the outside it.  I think it is some sort of equipment rental or small engine/lawnmower place.  I wanted to turn around and see what it was , but the boss said no.  

2 b , I have been welcomed at many and not at a few. Hear you about the early camp close but think problem will be solved by taking up residency at Stoney's .

Can't do Stony's.
Long history longer story.
Much like my thoughts on Jailwater on making a choice with my dollars.
 
For a decade I didn't eat at the McDee's because the owner that opened it fought the snagging ban.
The old sport shop by the bridge after they told me flyfishing for steelhead was stupid and the only way was to buy the heaviest sinking line and strip hard.
Or Tony's after almost getting in a fist fight with him on the river.
