Funny you should mention this, I met this week with a gentleman who has been in education all his life, likewise his wife, and he had a very good idea for resolving the space issues we face. The potential cost of his idea would be 25-30% of the cost of a new 2000-2500 student high school. I thought the idea was valid, but before I present it as an option I want to do the homework necessary to … more ›

An empty house at 501 Front St. was set ablaze on Monday for a Hudson Fire Department training exercise.

Pier 500 offers best location: a view of the St. Croix River, the city park, and parking is close. The service and reasonably priced food at Pier 500 are better than, say, four years ago when the site was under different management. These strengths make it my choice for Best Patio in Hudson. more ›
