Wiggle Room for Summer Rentals
“‘If I had 10 houses in my pocket, I could have rented them all,’ she said. ‘We have more demand than in the past, because a lot of New Yorkers who usually go to the Hamptons are exploring here because it’s a better commute, it’s not as crowded, and it’s less expensive.'”

Along the Hudson, Searching for Old

The Pleasure of a Pool on a Cleaner Hudson
“Still, when the folk singer Pete Seeger and a cluster of about 50 supporters and co-conspirators gathered by the river on Thursday to dedicate the River Pool at Beacon, a partly submerged pool in which Hudson River water flows through an intricate mesh framework, it was hard not to see both a small thing and a small miracle.”
