Summary: grew up in Hudson
Review: Having grown up in Husdon, I found this little book a delightful afternoon read. It was interesting to catch a glimpse of the history of my little town...my goodness, what a history it was! I heard stories from my dad about making 25c runnning for beer or watching a door. Little did I realize what he was watching! I found it eye-opening recognizing the names in the book of places I remember as a child...shopping at Marsh's or Richmann's for school clothes, buying my dad a birthday present at Kritzman's, learning about electricity (finger in electrical outlet) at Rogerson's Hardware, frequenting Sam's Market for devil dogs's after school, going downtown and getting a soda at McKinstry's Drug store to name a few. The author's desrciption of the volunteer firehouses brought memories of my dad racing off, having been a member of Edmond's #1 across from 7th Street Park. I have pictures of myself and friends sitting on Spook Rock and swimming in Keeler's Creek where it sits! I totally enjoyed this little ride into my town's history. The author's way with words often put a smile on my face and a giggle out loud with his descriptions of activities and the dry, wry humor he possessed telling these tales of Diamond Street and my hometown of Hudson.

Summary: Hudson the Shapeshifter
Review: I grew up in Hudson and never realized the many faces the little city had. Even my parents never told me everything was was to know about this naughty little red light district.Being a writer myself, Hudson had inspired me to write several short stories that took place in its contiguous towns and districts. Finally, my first novel of horror, Spook Rock, inspired by a place where we once swam, fished, picnicked, and just plain had a wonderful time, takes place in Hudson and once again its surrounding little towns where I once lived. Who said history can't be fun?

Summary: O_o
Review: Im a current teenaged resident of Hudson, New York and I am quite surprised at this sleepy towns, colorful past! My grandfather told me about how it was, but I never knew it was like THAT! Walking around now its hard to believe Hudson was ever the place to be.
