Bootstrap poster from the poststar.com: If it's worth having a clue who you are, you're reading my blog, or at least have a Google Alert picking up your pseudonym on the tubes.
So, he who took the statie test in 81, has long hair, and is a Linux/UNIX geek, drop a line in a communicable fashion, and let's cut this whole Post-Star p-poor commenting system out of the equation. Offhand, you don't resemble any teacher I recall from my QBY days ... but you're definitely old.

Demise of Martha's Dandee Cream?
Growing up, it was a generally known truth in the Glens Falls, Queensbury and Lake George area that the best soft ice cream around was to be found at Martha's Dandee Cream.
[I really need to find a photo of the giant rooster sign I seem to recall this place had.]
Martha's Dandee Cream is (was?) located across Route 9 from The Great Escape, formerly known as Storytown. The Great Escape was once owned by local rich guy Charles Wood. In the mid or late 90s, Wood sold the park, which eventually became part of the Six Flags family. I seem to recall it changed hands a few times, to Premier Parks, back to Wood, then to Six Flags, but Wikipedia doesn't seem to support this recollection.
Martha's ended up being purchased, if I understand and recall correctly, by Six Flags, or the entity that became or was absorbed by Six Flags. At some point there was a Martha's stand inside the park. Though I didn't have the opportunity to taste either in this time period, I've heard the quality at Martha's took a dive, and that the worthy successor to Martha's was Rob and Deb's, a place over on Dix Ave.
In this morning's Times Union, I read that Cold Stone Creamery is opening its 14th Six Flags location inside The Great Escape. What happened to Martha's? Is it still standing?
