If you're old enough, you remember that the Pittsfield Crowne Plaza was a Hilton when it first opened.

Hey, OB I was in your neck of the woods too. BamaVol Jr #3 was looking at colleges this week, including Worcester State, but we stayed in Pittsfield due to flying in and out of ALB and WSU was his easternmost selection.
