Though the national economy remains stagnant, people seem to keep betting on Hudson... Here are just a few recent pieces of local business news:
- Whitney and Steve Spooner have reopened
their terrific (unnamed) shop at the corner of 1st and Warren on
Thursdays through Saturdays;
- Terenchin Fine Art is moving any minute now from Catskill to the 500 block of Warren Street;
- The former Rowles Studio building in the 400 block has apparently sold, so longtime Hudson dealers Kathy Pakay and Ben Wilson are likewise moving on up from there to the 500 block;
- Hudson Supermarket’s café in the 300 block has transitioned from Indian to fresh, delicious Latin and South American cuisine;
- Two photography studios are opening on Warren, one in the 500 block and one on the corner of Warren and Park Place;
- Master gardener Olenka Bachinsky (the mother of Swoon co-owner Nina) has opened a hothouse plant-and-furnishings shop in the former America Retold/Count Turkoffsky space just off Warren on 4th Street, adjoining Face Stockholm.
And to think none of them asked the County IDA for a tax break.
