I meant to mention in the previous post about my stop in Ulster Park that going south from Kingston on Route 9W now means seeing a spruced up hamlet of Port Ewen.

Months of aggravating, but necessary roadwork is finally over, and in its wake are an improved thoroughfare and eye-catching crosswalks and parking lanes.

With a new town hall nearing completion and a relatively new firehouse down the road, this stretch of Esopus is looking better all the time.
