My memories of the Hudson Valley played a big part in spending some time there this summer, the memories of never having seen it in person. I had driven many times along the Hudson Parkway from New York to Connecticut realizing the nearby valley but never seeing it. Even more, I had seen and experienced drives by the valley through the screen; black and white footage of movie stories that shuttled between New York and Connecticut. Reading about the farm to table food movement in the area also played a part.
