Eons before Dinosaurs roared in the valley and a decade before the Steamin' Demon, Lake George was home to Gaslight Village, Storytown USA and much simpler times. These were the days of bumper stickers, Jungleland, ferris wheels and tilt-a-whirls.   I'm all for whatever the public demands (and business owners decide to build) so I personally have zero problems with what has transformed over the la
