How a Failed Trump Golf Course Became a Dilapidated State Park | Time

When Donald Trump bought 436 acres in upstate New York two decades ago, he envisioned adding two new championship golf courses to his collection.

He bought the wet, overgrown, tree-tangled parcels that sit miles off a state parkway beginning in 1998 for less than the current price of a two-bedroom condo in Trump Tower.

But local leaders nixed the golf-course plans and his subsequent efforts to sell it to a homebuilding company faltered. So he gave it away.

Indian Lake hosts moose festivities – Sun Community News & Printing

September is rolling up and that means peak Fall foliage.

But for the town of Indian Lake, September does not only bring hopes of tourism through the fiery colors swathed upon the mountains.

During the weekend of Sept. 28 and 29, the town hopes to bring travelers and moose lovers to possibly glimpse a view of the once elusive animal at the Great Adirondack Moose Festival.

The half-ton mammal is making a come-back in the Adirondacks. According to New York State Department of Conservation, in a study during January 2019, there were 83 groups of one or more moose found living in New York in an aerial survey.

When The Great Adirondack Moose Festival or GAMF kicks off in the last week of September, chances of spotting one, during the fall mating season when the mammal travels widely in search of a mate, make the festival that much more enticing.

In the center of the Adirondack Park, throughout the town of Indian Lake, moose themed programs will abound during the weekend of Sept. 28-29. The event is New York’s first-ever moose themed festival, offering visitors of all ages a unique Adirondack experience.

Prevent ‘Lifestyle Creep’ from Eating Your Wealth – Barron’s

As college students, many of us become experts at living the frugal life. We cook dinner for friends using the one knife and two pots we bought from TJ Maxx or “borrowed” from Mom’s kitchen. We take the bus, tape broken items back together, and celebrate the luxury of our first apartment without roommates, even if it’s a 600-square-foot studio.

Then our income increases, and certain behaviors become outside our comfort zone. We get used to buying everything brand new and wonder how we ever survived without a $300 blender. We might have fond memories of staying in hostels while backpacking around Europe or Asia, or seeing a mind-blowing Broadway show on a $30 standing room ticket, but we wouldn’t do that now.
