My Old Flame

Several years back I wrote a post about the Champlain School being burned.

Pictures are worth a thousand words, but sometimes the words themselves are worth something as well.  I used the resources of the Northern New York Library Network and found these articles.  The Plattsburgh Daily Republican article is longer, but illegible.  I only showed what could be easily be deciphered.

Battle of Boyd's Creek Monument

I live about three miles from the location of The Battle of Boyd's Creek. The battle took place on December 16, 1780.  I've often passed this monument and stopped a few times. Earlier this month I took some photos.

All this for a buck? Really?

Here's another menu from the Royal Savage Inn.

Plattsburgh Daily Press - May 4, 1940

This was a great restaurant.  I remember going to it a few times when I was younger.  It is no longer in business.  And I just read that the Keith's daughter, Tarley Jill Keith passed away a few weeks ago.

The restaurant was named after the American schooner of 1776.
