Past Series

People Near Here
Mountain Lake searched out some ordinary folks with really interesting (quirky!) lifestyles and we feature them on People Near Here. And we like to spend half or even an entire program with them because, heck, it takes at least that long to get to know somebody.

Roadside Recipes
Roadside Recipes is a fascinating and personal guide to some of the more interesting and unusual restaurants of the Adirondacks as well as a celebration of the people who keep the soup hot, the bread fresh and the desserts sinful.
