WHAT'S SPECIAL ABOUT YOUR HOMETOWN?

This is an example of what is considered special about the city of Beacon New York, according to an article in the New York Times, the quaint city of Beacon, is a great rediscovered new tourist destination. 

It’s about one and a half hours due north of New York City by either car or MetroNorth train from Grand Central Station and over the past decade, the town has gone from sleepy working-class community to a popular weekend getaway. Beacon’s Main Street thoroughfare has farm-to-table restaurants, world-class art, and even a Doctor Who-themed café, all within a leisurely afternoon’s walking distance.

    • Sounds amazing Alex, I enjoyed reading your recent posts about just chilling out and the wedding and so on. I often dream of my honeymoon in 1974 which we spent on the island of Mauritius near Madagascar.

  1. I spent my childhood in my native place, prime years in a city far away and am back close to my native place.

    What is special here is it is far from the madding crowd.

      • I do not talk much about myself at any writing sites and it works for me. As long as the community knows that I have several interests about which I have written in my profile.

        I am from India and that I publicly announce.

  2. Can I have two home towns? I was born and lived the first few years of my life in Chicago. Chicago is famous for having a skyline with some of the most beautiful skyscrapers in the world!

    i spent a lot of years in a small Indiana town. That town is famous as the home of Indiana University.
