(Mountaindale, by the way, is part of that same general area covered in yesterday&#8217;s <a href=\"http:\/\/upstater.luminarymedia.com\/2011\/05\/19\/bungalow-envy-lake-huntington-edition\/\">Bungalow Envy<\/a> post&#8211;the Sullivan County stretch that still has plenty of functional, happily inhabited places, as well). His project is <a href=\"http:\/\/www.vanishingcatskills.us\/essay.htm\">Vanishing Catskills<\/a>, a pictorial map of abandoned Borscht Belt buildings within 10 miles of his home. Sadly, there are a lot of them.<\/p>\n<p>He sees them as ruins, as testaments to Sullivan County&#8217;s heyday and decline, but also as interesting on a sculptural and architectural level. We see them as full of potential. We truly believe that in these tough times, folks are searching for economical getaways, and that reviving the bungalow colony is a great way to do it. We&#8217;re going to come back as developers in our next lives.<\/p>\n<p>Another interesting thing about Vanishing Catskills: you can buy Elozua&#8217;s <a href=\"http:\/\/www.vanishingcatskills.us\/book.htm\">photo books<\/a> directly from Apple.
