Hello Hudson –
This little website had multiple server issues this week. They took up too much time and I was not able to create more content. Quel dommage. But, hopefully, the website is quicker now.
I always update the event listings, first. The goal is to push out the newsletter Friday afternoon. Most events are input by Friday morning, and you can always click here to view them under Events > Monthly View on the top Menu.
A little self-promotion, the Upstate Alliance for a Creative Economy re-ran a story from Trixie’s List, here, written by Ben Rendich. Yay, Ben!
Anyway, time to start baking cookies again. Vacation over.

Which stores/restaurants are open every day of the week in Hudson? I’ve put together a list.

Someone asked me what was MY favorite pizza in Hudson. I could not NOT answer. Plus, I figured it would make a good blog post.
