Something I did not know...

I have been looking for weekend getaway places for the summer (as a place to crash in the Berkshires is now no longer a reality) as well as a place to go for Labor Day Weekend (as I am going to ensure that I am no where near Albany for it this year) and I was looking at Lake Placid.  I know nothing of the town, so I went to Wikipedia...and I saw this:

During the 1980 Olympics, Lake Placid Middle/High School was issued an alcohol license. The school served as a private bar during the Olympics. It is the only high school in the United States to be issued an alcohol licenseLake Placid, New York - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia 

Even if it is apocryphal, how awesome is that?!?

Yet another reason that I love Upstate New York!
