Not just yet—perhaps my mantra for the past year as I pass through the days. You are here, I say. Pay attention, I say. How does one not become the very selfsame ghost that haunts one’s life?

You might have noticed in our posts this week how much we love The Gilded Age, and how excited we are to see the cast and crew filming in our area once again. If you, like us, can't get enough of the Russells and the van Rhijns, check out our newest YouTube video where we tour all the upstate filming locations for Seasons 1 and 2 of the HBO series. You'll see Mrs Astor's house, George's steel factory, and so much more.
