Default News From Lake Woe-Is-Us.

The fantasy:

"here's our clubhouse, you can see the tennis
courts, volleyball court, basketball courts, playground, boat launch,
lake, trout stream inlet into lake, sand beach, parking area. Inside
is the heated indoor pool, hot tubs, weight room, bar, restaurant,
arcade, indoor racquetball/basketball, lounge areas, offices."

The reality (Current news from behind the "gates"):

"The dining room needs new carpeting, and
is dark, even on the brightest days. The smoke and foul language
coming from
the bar makes it impossible to dine out with your family. The dining
room, as it is
today, is certainly not a family type setting. The Community has not
put money back into the existing restaurant in years, and has been
viewed by past Boards as a white elephant that has done nothing but
drain community funds."

"Have you actually looked at the proposed site of this
pavilion? It is an embarrassment to the community. The dock is
falling down and much of it is laying in the water. There are boats
stacked in the background, and some of these boats have not been
registered in years. Most do not have a current Beech Mountain Lakes
sticker."

"The engineer representative explained that DEP, the Department of
Environmental Resources, has studied area dams and considers the dam at
Beech Mountain to be a "high hazard." Mullens warned that DEP is
mandating a new, larger spillway to be constructed. If the mandate is
ignored, DEP could breach the dam and drain the lake to eliminate the
threat."

"It was reported that the campground is open, but offering electricity
only, the water and restroom facilities remaining closed. Grove said
the facility produced $300 dollars in income last year, and cost
$20,000 dollars to operate. The huge liability, and loss it represents
was discussed. Presently, the holding tank is leaking and both grinder
pumps are broken. Repairs are estimated at $5,000 dollars. The
association is charged $600 dollars per month for sewerage. Vandalism
is also a problem there."

Does it hurt you that bad to know, that 98% of Americans live better

That would explain why, you attempted suicide in the Navy, you are
addicted to Prozac, and you are unemployable ! Gee, wonder why !

The place is a development scam, to draw in kOOks like Noodles, who
think they're getting "exclusivity." Once they've closed escrow, the
gutting of the "community facilities" begins in earnest, as what's
happening at Nudo Mountain Mudpuddle shows.
