The temp in Saranac Lake and most of the rest of the Adirondacks was -24 this AM. We had +3 but it's up to 19 already. The forge is up to -9 as the sun came out.

Well, we've got about a foot on the ground right now. Still coming down heavily. The entire region is out of commission. I'm getting ready to watch a PBS special on John Dillinger. Saw the movie last night ("Public Enemies") which I thought was dull. Thought I'd get educated on the real thing while the snow is coming down.

Best part of the movie was when he paid a visit to the very office that was out to capture him and nobody there knew he was there.

Don, that was a slow movie. The truth is better. Check out the book ,"Dillinger Slept Here" by Paul Maccabee.

Plenty of snow here in Iowa. We need a new Dillinger to sell newspapers or maybe a boy in a balloon? Eric

My first wife grew up in Chicago in an apartment right across the street from the Biograph Theater where Dillinger was shot coming out of the movie. You can still see the bullet holes in the telephone pole there, and in the building in the alley. Watched them make the movie about him out their living room window back in the late 60's/early 70's. They lived at 2438 N. Lincoln Ave., and the theater's address is 2433 N. Lincoln Ave. http://egov.cityofchicago.org/Landmarks/B/BiographTheater.html

So the original Biograph is still there?

I've watched infomercials that were better than "Public Enemies."

It would appear it is still there according to that link. Personally, I haven't been near that location since the early 80's.
