Dirty Dancing

The location for this movie was ungraciously jury-rigged together between a deserted boys camp and some other unseemly and unlikely place.  Where the producers really wanted to be was at Scott’s on a small lake nearby here.  When Scouters approached the owners all those years ago, to use their site for a small indie film, the owners said they were unable to comply with the request because the time of the filming would impact their regulars who come every year to spend time at this rustic resort.  Scott’s is exactly as they tried to depict in the film.  The fun news is that during the summer, there are Saturday night dances, live bands and $5 glasses of wine and beer for the guests and anyone who ponies up $10 and is willing to wear a hand stamp for the next 24 hours.  This summer, I took guests there to enjoy the 50’s scene.  On dry, full moon nights, with the lake in complete reflection, one can imagine being a teenager once again
