Fish & Ships: Part Two

2009-07-09T17:14:00.005-04:00

Young Nyackers painted their impressions of the village. Many painted the river, the mountains, or the Tappan Zee Bridge.

Several works by Nyack artist Theodore Cornu were on display.

It's a very impressive collection of items relating to life in a river village.

Old postcards, photographs, countless displays, and artwork. The Historical Society of The Nyacks has done a fantastic job.

Another great exhibit.

There's also a collection of photos of the building of the Tappan Zee, displays of local fish, the early history of The Nyacks, and much more.

Fish & Ships is a wonderful exhibition. See it this weekend July 11 & 12 (opens at 1pm) Cedar Hill Avenue at Depot Street (Between S. Broadway and Franklin Street)

Interiors & Giraffes

Closing time: The Skylark on Main Street.

Giraffes in the card shop on Main Street (across from Nyack Plaza) This shop has a large collection of local postcards. (cards of Nyack, The TZ Bridge, The Hudson River, NYC and The LoHud Valley)

The Nyack Antique Mall at Franklin and Main is a great place to spend an hour on a very rainy day.

Once Upon A Time

2009-06-17T03:14:00.001-04:00

After the book store closed the window disappeared and the exterior was painted.

This is how it looked just after it closed. Businesses come and go, but Ben Franklin Books will be missed. Once upon a time people purchased a book nearly every time they visited a second hand book shop. For the past few years, just browsing has become more and more popular. Support your local shops!

There are still some independent book shops in Nyack ~ Angelica's in Woolworth Way on Main Street and Pickwick on South Broadway between Main and Burd.

Going away again for a few days. Hope to be back with daily posts soon.

New Street

2009-06-05T16:03:00.002-04:00

New Street is in the heart of Nyack.

Yet few people walk down New Street.

There are several interesting businesses on this little street.

Library Details

2009-05-29T18:28:00.008-04:00

Carnegie Libraries have a lot of small details.

This boulder in front of the library was hauled down from Hook Mountain in the early 20th century. ~ Known as the Lincoln Boulder, since the Gettysburg Address is affixed to it.

Walking along Piermont Avenue behind the library. There are Victorian homes (some now used for businesses) pretty much surrounding the library, and most of them have nice little gardens. You can see the outline of the library in the background. Thanks to trees and gardens, the modern additions to the library don't stand out too much.

Just next door to the library (library is on right.)

This house on Depew was moved to this spot in the 1980s from North Broadway. If you look at the left side of this picture you get a glimpse of the library's new addition.

Tascha in Nyack

2009-05-25T16:40:00.000-04:00

A new business is moving into the old Hawvermale Building on Main Street.

The Playing Mantis has moved to North Broadway and Tascha will move into the former toy shop space.

I don't know when Tascha will open or what will be sold there.

Library Interior

2009-05-20T07:32:00.003-04:00

The original 1903 library has 3 public rooms that are now crowded with our local authors collection, a grand piano, the local history collection, extra bookshelves, an architectural model of the library, and the reading room for news and magazines. There is also the check out desk and some small offices.

The rooms will be de-cluttered once the new wing is completed. These are the rooms a visitor sees first when entering the library.

Library Update

2009-05-19T12:59:00.003-04:00

The new addition to the Nyack Library should be finished soon. (rear view from Hudson & Piermont Avenues)

On Broadway only parts of the new wing will be visible between buildings.

Before the trees leafed out.

The original Carnegie library is mainly what we see from the front.

The children's room at the library... (whoops! this isn't the Nyack Library, but the nearby Valley Cottage Library (which has an excellent children's room & wonderful librarians, too.) Worth a visit ~ your child won't want to leave.

January hang over. One of the Wise Men didn't abstain.

(Wh) oops. From the photo files ~ a few months ago a car hit a fire plug and a new plug needed to be installed.
