County Fair Season
Daily life in Hudson: I’m in the car, stopped at a light, a friend crosses the street and says, “Hey, what are you doing? Come and meet us for a drink at Padrona (on N. 4th Street). It’s their one year anniversary!” Sure! Why not? What else am I doing on a Sunday evening? Nothing….
Sunshine Fair, Schoharie County, NY
The Sunshine Fair Let’s go an hour west – yes, WEST. Schoharie County is when you’re getting into the REAL upstate New York, beyond the New York Times “bubble”.

John L. Edwards Elementary School and Storytown, USA

Sodomites Open a Bookstore in Hudson
I know what you’ve been wondering, same as me. When is Hudson going to get a semi-erotic queer bookstore? Right? How many more farm-to-table restaurants can open? What are we going to read while enjoying that kale salad and oatmilk latte? Thankfully, a queer-friendly bookstore has FINALLY opened! Kudos to Nathan Rapport and Jonathan Osofsky…
