Village Voice: Stories from Voorheesville

Join me as I not only break down the schedule for 2025's Voorheesville Memorial Day, but I also talk directly to you about the value of the village's big day on the streets, in the backyards, and at Nichols Park!

Did you know one of the largest suppliers of professional tattoo equipment is right here in Voorheesville? Did you know the man that helped take tattooing from gritty sideshow attraction to respected art form lived right here? And what's the connection to the clock in the park? Listen and find out! 

Hate on graffiti all you want, but maybe take second look after listening to this episode. I walk you through the moving galleries that come through our town daily on the freight trains. And I wax poetic about how graffiti should stay in its place and not on our park branches and underpasses. 

Let's start with a Facebook Group - a little digital meeting spot called the Generosity Group of Voorheesville/New Scotland. Showing how Voorheesville is an engine of compassion and true sharing among the community. 

This village, much like America, was shaped by motion. In Voorheesville's case, it was the railroad. By the mid-20th century, Voorheesville had become a bedroom community. Much like it is today. This is the first episode of my Voorheesville podcast so stick around, they get better!
