Seen At The Promenade Playground Last Night

With the help of a throttle, the two then ascended the million-dollar bluestone steps that are full of stains.

What's It Going To Take?

 

Like A Middle Finger To Every Hudson Resident!

 

I first noticed this last fall.

Sure, Why The F Not? It's Just A Sidewalk (Or A Residential Street)! It's Just Hudson!

 

All pictures taken this week.

In my estimation, Hudson is becoming a less livable, less walkable, less interesting, less clean, less attractive, less stable and less friendly place to live.  Much like America in general.  The city has also gotten a lot noisier.  Too much damn traffic, too much of it passing through town on the way to elsewhere (State Street is a major artery for vehicles passing through town).  And the signs on and near the sidewalks... don't get me started.  No one at City Hall or on the Common Council seems to care or be paying attention enough to care about any of it.

Is This The Result We All Wanted? Or Is This The Result Only Joe Ferris Was Hoping For?

A few days following HUDseen's May 15th piece about the ugliness surrounding the e-scooter sidewalk rental business that had just popped up in town, an article appeared in the Register-Star regarding the city forcing the owner to remove her scooters and signs while they looked into the legality of her business.  Apparently, the main (or sole) issue was that the signs associated with the scooters were in historic zones.  And, apparently, Code Enforcement soon gave the scooter lady the approval she needed, possibly just with a sign permit, and back the fleet of scooters and plastic lawn signs -- now with one large A-frame sign -- came to 3 or 4 locations on our sidewalks along Warren Street.

I took these pictures in the past few days.

Park In Traffic Lane, Buy Garbage Bags! No Need For Flashers!

 

Heck, what's the big deal? It only took two or three minutes!  Maybe four tops!
