Sugarloaf is closed, indefinitely.

They are claiming it’s to do with a break in at the house where they hold weddings, but that makes no sense honestly and it’s about some sort of pissing match between the mountain, the neighbors and the county.

They’re doing it to flex. I don’t really understand why.

But, it’s not a park and they can do what they want I guess.

One of the comments from the link struck a chord — how many people had the same thing happen to them drinking on an empty stomach?

“ My Grandma, who never drank a drop of alcohol in her life, was given a Planter's Punch while we were waiting. She thought it was delicious and had another. Needless to say, she was smashed and giggled like a teenager for the 2 hour drive home. I was about 7 when this happened and I remember it like it was yesterday. Such fond memories of the restaurant, the peacocks, the giftshop and all the tacky adornments of the place. RIP Grandma, RIP Peter Pan Inn....”
