Turning out the Faithful
They,
tore down the old rustic white porched hotel and replaced it
with a brand new concrete and steel sparkling Hilton
at one Mirror Lake Drive.
I met a man in the Ancient Mariner who sold the Olympic
Organizing Committee 50,000 hot seats for the grandstands
everyone knows just how fiercely cold the winter’s of Lake Placid can be.
Everyone was going to make a Million Dollars.
Christmas Eve, the Chair Six Lounge, all the non local, especially for
The Olympic Entrepreneurs, tears falling like the rain in the streets.
Everyone was going to make a Million Dollars.
The Semi’s rolling through town from Saranac
heavily laden with man made snow
a caravan of determination and fierce pride
that is the American Spirit.
During the build up to the period
of the 1980 Winter Olympics
many landlords turned out their
faithful tenants of many years
for the high rents they could receive.
