The past few years have brought tremendous change to the western banks of the Hudson River.
As newcomers flock to the area and explore their surroundings, long-time residents are meeting their neighbors – and discovering new opportunities – at every turn.
Luxury developments line the riverbanks, and boutiques, restaurants and art galleries are opening every week. Young families fill the streets with baby carriages. Empty nesters and young artists wait together for trains running along the expanding light rail system.
But change can be hard. Transformation does not come easily.
How does one gain a sense of community in a new and evolving place? Where can you turn for resources, entertainment and a bird’s-eye view of our home along the Hudson?
We created Palisade magazine to answer some of those questions, yet we hope it will do more. We’d like Palisade to be a sort of meeting place, a town square, if you will, where you can read about the people and places that make living here so exciting.
Every issue of Palisade is packed with a diversity of stories. And we’re always interested in hearing from you, our readers, about what you’d like to see on our pages. Please email tpavis@hudsonreporter.com with your ideas. Tell us what you enjoy, and what you’d like to see more of.
Some people like to refer to this region as the Gold Coast, but local people never have. We didn’t want to pick a name for the magazine linked largely to the real estate boom. Instead, we chose the name Palisade, for the magnificent cliffs that run throughout this area and unite us. Welcome.
