    My hometown for the first 40 years of my life and no matter where I end up in this world it will always be home. I only live 20 minutes away and still visit regularly.

    Well done overall. I graduated High School in '79 and I see many familiar places and what seems nice new changes. I'm glad you appreciated, explored and highlighted the beautiful nature and Mother Earth power of Ossining as economics is not main criteria for the Joys of our Community. Overall well done video. Thank you

    So much is familiar, and so much isn't. I was born in Ossining, graduated from OHS in 1973 and so much has changed. That brewery was, if I remember correctly, Emerson Electronics--a manufacturing plant. I worked the summer after HS across the street, for Bert and Garry Keller, pumping gas. Hav-a-hart traps were once made in Ossining, and the waterfront, back then, only had the fancy yacht club, not very nice otherwise. A friend, Gareth Hougham, was instrumental in the Sing Sing Kill walkway. I also remember the wonderful buildings torn down where Main and Spring met...and were never replaced. And, of course, there was the Victoria Theater where we'd spend a rainy saturday seeing double-features, plus cartoons, and documentary shorts, with popcorn, raisinets, and a soda.

      That's one constant that I've seen in all the Hudson River Valley towns....beautiful waterfronts. Most were industrial and overgrown years ago so I'm glad to see all the changes.

      @@DestinationMan Nice to see all the trails by the arches.In my day, that area was a dangerous place. My Aunt was mugged on the aqueduct walking from Main to Ann back In the 70's. She did not want let go of her purse and wound up with a broken wrist.

    Great video! Same as Samuel, I grew up there across the street from the library. I had no idea about the walkway under the double arch! I must go back to O-Town and visit this along with revisiting my hang out days at Washington Square a.k.a "The Square", sleigh riding on flattened cardboard boxes on death hill behind the old library, and my good ol' elementary school for 8 years--St. Ann's.

      I used to ride my bicycle just outside the walls of Sing Sing as a young boy. The well behaved inmates were outside the walls on the grounds cutting grass often in the summer when I would ride by them. They never bothered me.

      How much would you say you need to live in Ossining? I’m thinking of moving from Las Vegas to work in New York, but I didn’t want to live in an apartment so I was looking for houses within 1 hour commute

      It's not that expensive. Definitely cheaper than most Hudson River Valley towns. The median house price is about $500k.

      Probably because they're relatively new. Most of the waterfront was heavily industrialized all throughout the Hudson River Valley until towns started to redevelop them
