CLOSE CALL — A branch broke off an oak tree with a resounding crash on Morris Avenue (Route 9D) in Cold Spring on Sunday (July 18) just north of Main Street. A state Department of Transportation truck and crew quickly arrived to begin removal. Jill Ormiston, who lives across the street, said the branch just missed hitting a girl sitting in a car near the Sunoco station. (Photo by Liz Schevtchuk Armstrong)
TAKE A GANDER — Shamala Thompson posted this photo online of the plastic geese on Main Street in Nelsonville arranged to be waiting in Aisle 6 at Foodtown (the one with the cereal) to check out. “I love these geese so much,” Thompson wrote. “Only a Philipstown local who shops at the local grocery store would understand this.”
