Snowy Days
Well, I’ll be honest with you, Hudson. Writing an event-based blog in the middle of February, during a pandemic, does have its challenges in finding content! This week, I got lucky! Sam J. Miller was up here and I had a chance to meet and talk with him about his latest Hudson-based book, The Blade…
“The Blade Between” by Sam J. Miller

In 2002 the Hudson Fire Department (HFD) took the first steps to increase its capability for water rescue when a child drowned in the Hudson River….

Groundhog Saw Its Shadow
From the looks of it, folks, the groundhog saw its shadow, and rushed back into its hole for six more weeks of winter. Luckily, there’s a whole bunch of stuff to do, from home, and within walking distance in our fair, friendly city! Hudson-based singer and musician Chris Garneau performs LIVE from Hudson Hall on…
