Last I knew the old Alpin Haus had been sold to Ellis Hospital with the intent of building a 24/7 urgent care facility. The company I work for was involved in the concept plans months ago. Great idea though OP. ---

Here’s a question- one of you mentioned something very true; need someplace where there’s little housing because if the noise and such. We have struggled with this question; Assuming exit 24 and the end of I-87 northway is easy access, How Far is people willing to drive from that area to such a “members auto club” with these types of amenities? This is important because if you won’t drive there then that doesn’t work but if we could have a auto park/drift area/1/8 mile drag, cafe, lounge, hang out area how far is one willing to drive. Or better yet how long? 1/2 hour from the central I-87/ ex24??? How long is better then how far. Think about it. Let me know. Cause it could help HUGELY! Thanks all!!

daryl i wouldn’t mind a hike for services of that nature. Keep it within an hr and a half would make it more viable for albany residents to enjoy the shenanigans that is A.S.S. only probelm it could no longer be called A.S.S since you wouldn’t be in albany any more. :’( ---

i gotta disagree the ones who serious will do it. Not to mention there isn’t many kind of facilities like he is looking to build so if marketed correctly will do well. ---

people bitch about driving from the lot, to the park and ride which is a 10 minute ride. People are afraid to drive their cars for some odd reason. I myself, will drive over a hour one way to avoid the way the lot has been the last few years. ---

When the lot was cool, I had no problem driving the 45 min drive. When it got iffy, the trip was made twice a year instead of twice a week… If the REAL scene is there, people will travel the distance. No one wants to waste 45min+ on a drive just to find nothing but ricers and 200yr old men. ---
