Traveler advice

Getting around

There is no stop sign at NBT bank corner!

Heading downtown from Saranac Escape, you will come to a T intersection we call NBT Bank corner. Although it is a T intersection, there’s no stop sign! So don’t stop! The locals hate this because they’re not expecting you to stop.
