When A Family Business is a Community Affair

Posted on June 16, 2016

Pine Plains was devastated when its family-owned hardware store had to close.

 
But then another family came along…
 

And the community is elated!

    Very impressed with the selection & quantity of products. When I heard it would be a hardware store I didn’t think it was a large enough space to really offer much. You have proved me wrong & pleased to be. Thank you for bringing in a business that can actually be useful to everyone. Wishing you well.

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.
