Newburgh during the Gilded Age was quite prosperous and a resort town for the wealthy of NYC.

That was a long time ago and times have surely changed.

Passed through Newburgh about thirty years ago and got out of town as fast as I could.

Made a special trip just to see how the old place was holding up.

Exited the interstate and headed east on the main road toward the Hudson river.

Saw a lot dilapidated buildings and lots of negroes on the sidewalks and crossing the road.

Turned around and got drove away as fast as I could. My survival instincts were serving me properly.
