Catskill, New York - A historic Picture-Perfect River Town

Happy Holiday!
I finally have a chance to upload some videos I recorded last month. This video is about driving through a picture - perfect river town - Catskill, New York in Fall.
____________________________________________________________
Catskill (Village) New York is Located along the banks of the Hudson River, with the Catskill Creek flowing through it, the village is the picture-perfect example of a historic river town. Catskill’s Main Street are filled with Victorian storefronts and variety of eateries and boutiques, and along the river’s edge lies the Thomas Cole House, once home to the famous painter and founder of the Hudson River School of Art.
New York State Route 385 passes through the center of the village as Bridge Street and Spring Street, ending in the western part of the village at an intersection with U.S. Route 9W. Route 385 crosses Route 23 at the northern border of the village and continues northeast 4 miles (6 km) to Athens and 10 miles (16 km) to Coxsackie. US 9W passes through the western part of Catskill village as Maple Avenue, leading north 17 miles (27 km) to Ravena and south 11 miles (18 km) to Saugerties. NY Route 23 crosses the northern corner of Catskill village, crossing the Hudson on the Rip Van Winkle Bridge into the town of Greenport, and leading west 2 miles (3 km) to Interstate 87 (the New York State Thruway) at Exit 21.
The Rip Van Winkle Bridge is a cantilever bridge spanning the Hudson River between Hudson, New York and Catskill, New York. The structure carries NY 23 across the river, connecting US 9W and NY 385 on the west side with NY 9G on the east side. The bridge includes a new pedestrian walkway which was completed in 2018 on the south side of the bridge which is open from dawn to dusk. Cyclists may use the roadway or may walk their cycles across the pedestrian walkway.

So cool seeing my hometown through someone else’s perspective.

I grew up there all we wanted to do is leave... Now I'm 40 and just wanna go back home

[@Frank_White-KoNY]

@@theateroftheabsurd2168 again, depends on perspective. I have a looking glass for every style of life here. That being said, I’m about to be 33 and even though I’m doing great and got a great network of upstanding citizens now, I can’t unsee the destruction that drugs is implementing on Greene and the surrounding counties, states, world. .. I guess coming full circle you are right. It doesn’t matter where you are, only difference is the people are strangers. I’ve driven across this beautiful country twice. This place (Catskill) is gorgeous. The people though, they are getting uglier by the second.

They knocked down the toll booth at the bridge, which is a shame. I thought it was a cool looking structure.

[@j.dragon651]

I have been looking for a photo of the old highway bridge that went over the Catskill Creek into down town. The one that kids painted the Blue Oyster Cult insignia on and it stayed there for about twenty five years. That bridge. Anyone know where I can find one. Google has not been my friend in this matter.
