Exploring The Balsams 2016: PART ONE

[@belleastewart]

Where is part 2?! So crazy to think I walked around in those halls and stayed there as a kid and now it looks like that. I hope they bring it back.

[@coltsgolf]

There trying to!

[@belleastewart]

@@coltsgolf I can't wait! Maybe one day, once I have kids, I can bring them there. They can make new memories like the fond ones I have from that beautiful place.

Property is now blocked off

[@jenntetreault]

PLEASE post part 2!!! I'd LOVE to explore this place but I figured it wasn't possible with all the activity there. You're brave, crazy, and lucky, lol. But seriously, pleeeeeease part 2?? :) :)

[@lexgraham7353]

Jenn Tetreault I will. :) Glad to see someone wants to see the rest lol We got confronted st the end but I don't regret anything. :) I will reply again when I finish the second video! :)

[@jenntetreault]

YAY!! I love urban decay photography and the Balsams has long been one I've obsessed over. I just can't do it where I know I'd get caught, so I love that you're posting video so I can live vicariously :D

[@hilow2341]

HEY MAN, WHERE'S PART TWO!!!!???? I went to the balsams for eleven years, almost every summer until it's last year...

[@m0nk3yl0v3r]

Let’s go part 2 my guy!

[@pennydreadful2023]

sad to see something that was once so majestic: delapidated....I hope it gets restored!!!

[@michaelbaker4243]

I'm going to call BS on the interior shots....I see a number of items that appear to be ready for the Auction that was held shortly after the Hotel closed. I think the exterior shots are from 2016 and the interior shots from several years earlier...Your reply, Lex Graham?

[@justifried]

Wow so crazy they just abandoned the place, I got married there in 2004 before it shut down

[@colyhope236]

I use to work there and loved the place and wished they would re-open it but the longer it sits there vacant the less chance there is of that happening.

[@hermit6208]

Well, I went from a giggle at seeing the Cote's storefront, to crying. The old girl is gone. I hope the new owners can resurrect something. So sad. The place had grandeur, and a sense of history.

[@lexgraham7353]

Every time I passed by it I was quite sad that it was just sitting there, empty. I have never been inside when it was open but I saw pictures and video of it and it was amazing. The history behind the original building is amazing also. I knew when I laid eyes on it, I had to explore it, even with all the warning signs. lol It was short lived but I will never forget it, that's for sure! :)

[@aladeenyos6921]

@@lexgraham7353 its crazy what they did to this place presidents used to go stay there and some contractors decided lets gut the building and file bankruptcy halfway through the job

[@andrewsbarra333]

Aw man, this bums me out

[@sarahbriggs523]

I have that yearbook 😭

[@hermit6208]

Hahaha. Luc Cote's!!! The Prince of Errol.

[@drg7055]

So sad that no one took care of the grande, historic resort and it’s just rotting away 😭

[@northernengineer1582]

Lexine, thanks for the video. The Balsams seems to be both a romance from the past and a hopeful futute.

[@kathleenconnolly5143]

A disgrace.
