Shucks — Everything Goes Better with Oysters!

Posted on February 28, 2022

For a while, in TDBTP (Those Days Before The Pandemic), Lia’s Mountain View had Oysters ‘n Wings Tuesday Nights. Whether or not you liked oysters (or even wings), you were bound to have a great time because there were always people you knew –or get to know — and like. 

I did not post this as an archive of the past but as a goal for what we might regain in our future. We seem to have become brittle and splintered; we need to be reminded of how we mixed it up when we were one community.

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.
