I was born at Kingston Hospital, where my mother worked. My aunt worked at Benedictine. My grandfather installed many of the telephone poles in the early 1900's. My early years were spent on Brewster St. My father had a shop on Broadway and was a member of the Coach House Players. Things have changed a lot in that town since those days.
Love reading this article and comments. My son got me watching this show recently. Noticed how the location seemed so familiar…the blue condos at the Strand. I’m in Pittsburgh now but lived in Staples which intersects Brewster. Delivered my son at Kingston Hospital just two blocks away. Hudson Valley is truly a gem and I still miss it so much.
Thanks for your post. I have lived in Tillson for 32 years, and was thrilled to see the Testimonial Arch on Severance tonight. I love that Wonderly's building too! I walk past it quite often and noticed how they rearranged the letters. You're right, so charming! Next to it is the bar (old name?) that used to have life-sized statues of the Blues Brothers (was Elvis there too?) on the roof. Now it's called Tubby's (a Kingston NY local surname, there was a pretty well known 19th c. painter named Joseph Tubby). Anyway, Tubby's is a cool venue for live music. My son has seen some good gigs there, and I saw Wreckless Eric (iykyk) there last fall. With the Ulster Performing Arts Center just opposite Tubby's on Broadway, this is a terrific little intersection in Kingston.
Hi Susan. Thanks for reading. Tubby’s used to be Broadway Joe’s, but in my memory the Blues Brothers were there even from the place before that, but I can’t remember the name of that one.

Thanks for reading and sharing your memoies.
My mom worked at Kingston Hospital, too.

Right! Thanks again for a nice article!
My hometown as well, and The Phoenicia Diner was cooler before the stupid hipsters invaded! :-)
This is a cool little piece.
How in the hell did Kenan score so high on your list? Please disclose your Kenan Bucks payments.

Longevity counts. And I like What’s Up With That?
I did like What’s Up With That, though anyone could have nailed that.
Usually people do leave because they have other opportunities. I wonder what opportunities Kenan is turning down…?
HATE HATE HATE HATE!
Hey! The second season of Severance was filmed in my current home town too!

Wow, shoutout to Film Utica. That's really cool. Lots of great locations in the area that haven't been put on film before.
This is great! And also…congrats?
