Nyack Trivia: Where Was It Located?
A quick test of memory for those long-time Nyackers
I wonder how many long-time Nyack residents remember the stores, buildings and people of long ago like I do?
I thought it might be interesting to see if others can remember where "things" were located around town. I hope readers will post their answers to my questions—and the answers should be specific in their location. (Don't just write, "it was on Main Street.")
