A City on the Hudson
I've been listening to a podcast called "A Small American City," about Troy, NY. I know Troy, somewhat. My brother C. used to go to Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in Troy. I remember well driving out Route 2, over the Berkshires and the Taconics, to go visit him. I don't know that I explored the town much, although we did go to a few bars and restaurants in town. The podcast is fascinating to me, because the host, Duncan Crary, seems to focus on the character of the town, it's tight community and walkability. In a way, it sounds a lot like a bigger city version of Greenfield. And Crary likes to talk to people who live in Troy and call it home, and do so by choice, why they're there, why they chose Troy. That's something I've often thought about Greenfield as well.
