Free Old Tin Roof - Act Now

I was riding my bike down Cherry Alley this morning. There's a decent-sized pile of embossed tin roof tiles awaiting a salvager. Just to the west of 3rd Street.

I took a few for myself because they exactly match the tiles on my carriage barn's roof, but if you have a project (Shed? Chicken coop, Henhouse? Love Shack?) to recycle/use them for, get over there and grab them!

EDIT Update Sunday 5 pm. I hear they're gone already.

Hudson Walking Tour


The Tainted Lady Lounge (the long-gone bar, not the blog) gets a mention in today's Upstate Earth Blog. Check out the whole blog while you're there... a nice assortment of local explorations rich with history.

Rare Hudson Relics showing up at Brimfield this week!

Larry and his travelling cat Smooch



were at Brimfield this week selling their fabulous wares out of the "COOL BUS".
In addition to yards and yards of luxurious fabrics and trimmings, Larry had an original wooden baker's peel
from the Hudson Supermarket ---from when it was actually a supermarket, not the antiques center it is today ( 310 Warren Street).
It was only fifteen bucks!

He also had a lovely stash of stamped tin ceiling and frieze parts, recently excavated from the old Savoia Bar at 255 Warren Street.

People,
do yourselves a favor and look for Larry's big Yard Sale on upper Warren Street coming this July...
