The Next Chapter: The Library Moved. The Story Goes On…

Posted on May 23, 2014

You know you’re from Pine Plains if you have an opinion about this library situation. And if you are wondering why I am covering this story as it drags on and on, well then, you’re not from Pine Plains, are you?

    Nice way to chronicle change. Interestingly, it is most effective without the expected commentary that usually accompanies such pieces. You show it like it is, for sure. In addition, one can see (like the Met Opera simulcasts), what goes on behind stage so to speak. It’s the real deal. Good job Cuz!

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.
