| | | nope, but I was born in Schenectady and lived there 'til I was 5, and still have family in Amsterdam...my grandparents lived in Schenectady too, so even though I didn't live there we visited very frequently and I spent a lot of summers there when I was growing up.

Hudson has changed, its now an antique oriented town. Many NYC people came up and bought property and heavily invested in antiques.
Its a bit artsy fartsy for me these days but real estate really escalated in value there in the past 10-15 years.
The main street, Warren St, is almost exclusively antique shops or trendy boutiques and bistro/restaurants. |
