Sadly, I heard this report early Sunday morning.
The 115 year old Landmarked stable for Central Park is closing.
End of an era.

Ironically, the article also mentions that the Moondance Diner might close. Ironic since it was featured in a Spiderman movie which is premiering in NYC tonite....

I was very sad to hear the news about Claremont. I learned to ride at the academy - had there been a straight path I could have walked from my grammar school straight across the park to the stables. Unfortunately the bridle path has also been neglected for years so it is no longer the wonderful surface it once was for the horses.

Clop clop

I had an old girlfriend down the block from the stable. It was very cool to wake up in the morning to the sounds of clip clop clip clop echoing down the street. Talk about Victorian vibe!
