On the Steps of the County Court House…

Posted on January 9, 2013

They said it would be sold on the court house steps. They were not exaggerating. Just not the front steps, the back ones. Wherever. I just had to see it with my own eyes and that means share it with you.

Soooo, if you ever wanted to see what a foreclosure auction of a community center and library building looks like, here’s your chance. They reall do say “Once, twice, three times…. sold!

Take a look:
 

The story can now go on. And on. And on.

WHY THIS WEBSITE

I came to Pine Plains by choice, not by chance of birth.

But the small-town rural community I chose is changing. The farmers have, for the most part, sold to people from the city and fields are becoming lawns.

And, like the land, people, too, are becoming subdivided as difference breeds distance rather than discourse.

I have been making these videos to preserve and reconstitute what I can of a changing way of life and to share it with the community.

On a more personal level, I am making this website as a way of holding on to the reasons why I came here.
