Location Hudson, New York
Introduction Oh, l'amour, l'amour! Toujours l'amour! Hey kiddos I love Hudson, where they used to have so many cathouses they called it "the Amsterdam of Columbia County." I'm enjoying my semi-retirement here where I started. Look for me sunning myself in the Seventh Street Park or on the Promenade or riding the Zanichelli trolley bus to Sals or having lunch at the Hudson Grand Buffet or at the Hudson Library blogging with Chet. The first Saturday of every month I present a program at the Hudson Library called "The Oral Historian of Diamond Street" where I talk about how the state government came in in '52 to clean the vice out of Hudson and erase it from our memories and Im kind of proud of that. So eat my merry widow, Rose Marie. What were we talking about again?
