  I missed the opening for Peter Bill's "Color Obsession" at Traders of Babylon Art Gallery last Friday night, but not for want of trying. I just hadn't expected to find a gallery behind a jewelry store. Standing in front of the window an hour before the scheduled event, I could find so indication there was a show inside. Two days later, in daylight, I saw the foot-square cardboard sign taped up on the glass of a closed doorway next door, a nonchalant comment saying people should use the jewelry store doorway. Beneath it was the geometric swirl of purple and blue that the galley had been using to advertize the show.

Hudson Reporter Archive

  I started reporting for the Hudson Reporter in November 1992. These are some of the stories that I wrote from that date until I left the paper in 2018. In 2019, the new owners shut down the paper and made the archives inaccessible. So, I'm posting my works here. Because of changing technology, computer issues and such, I don't have all of the stories from early on -- especially 1992-1994. But I kept some. A number of these stories were collected in a volume published by Rutgers University in 2001. Hudson Reporter stories 1992 email to Al Sullivan

He is the largest seller of toy soldiers in the United States. Although his cusomters are adults, his business is good.                 "The stress is on playing, not collecting," he said, "though we dod tell peole they can rebuild the collection mother threw out when they went into the army or college."                 After nine years in the business of marketing toy soldiers, Delson has learned that two things sell: something new or something people had as kids.                 Toy so...
