If you grew up around Plattsburgh, NY; Burlington, VT; Lake Placid, Malone, or Queensbury, NY, you might remember Frontier Town in North Hudson, NY. This western theme park once drew thousands of vacationers each year, but since its closure in 1999, it has become an abandoned ghost town. New York State is looking to change all of that by making the 300-acre property the site for “Gateway to the Adirondacks,” a new tourist destination for the area! The Governor announced that the state will be investing $2.8 million dollars into the site to create jobs and attract visitors from all over the country. Gateway to the Adirondacks will include: Interactive exhibits in historic structures highlighting the past, present, and future of the Adirondack forest products and local food industries Adirondack craft beer experience at Paradox Brewery A campground and day use area along the Schroon River Adirondack Park Visitor Information Center Event center with tourist accommodations Equestrian camping and trail riding area “The Gateway to the Adirondacks will be a world-class tourism hub at a strategic location to attract new visitors to the Adirondack Park and drive economic growth in the North Country,” Governor Cuomo said. “The Master Plan, developed with key community partners, builds on our comprehensive efforts to protect the Adirondack Park while attracting tourists to experience the wide array of outstanding recreation options this region has to offer.” This project isn’t set to begin until 2019, but we at DELLA Kia are very excited about what it might bring to the area!

Our DELLA Kia customers are no strangers to the harsh winter months in Plattsburgh, NY; Burlington, VT; Lake Placid, Malone, and Queensbury NY. With the streets and roads covered in salt, snow, and dirt, it seems inevitable that our vehicles will be too. While “road junk” can be a nuisance and make your vehicle look unattractive, that’s not all it’s capable of. Road salt, snow, and dirt can mix with the air’s moisture to accelerate the rusting process. Check out our four tips below to helping your vehicle survive the winter! Winterize with Wax - An affordable and simple solution to protecting your vehicle from the harsh winter debris is adding a layer of wax. The wax will act as an extra protectant against salt, snow, and dirt. You Missed a Spot - Road salt tends to collect behind the wheels, quarter panels, and front grille. Because of this, it’s the first place rust tends to start. Make sure you’re checking and cleaning these areas regularly. Wash It Down - Washing your vehicle in the winter may seem a little odd, or you might just think it’s a waste of time. But it pays off big in the long run. However you choose to wash your vehicle - by hand, with a power washer, or at a car wash - make sure you’re doing it as often as every other week. Also, be sure that the temperature is above freezing when you do wash it. Otherwise, you’ll be driving around a frozen popsicle! Switch It Up - Winter can wreak havoc on the interior of your vehicle as well. To protect your floors from the salt, dirt, and snow you’re bringing in with you, buy some custom fitted rubber mats. Also, if you’re tired of scraping ice off your windshield, drain your windshield wiper fluid and add some de-icing fluid. So go ahead, sleep in an extra 10 minutes! If you have any questions or need any help from us here at the DELLA Kia Service Department, that’s what we’re here for! Schedule an appointment today. Woo, Kevin.
