Otto's Market in Germantown New York.

Otto's Market is located in Germantown a Columbia County town North of Red Hook. The market is located right in the center of town. It occupies the space which was once known as the Central Market.

How important is Otto's Market to Germantown?

Otto's Market is truly a vital part of the community because there are no supermarket in town. The nearest supermarkets can be found in Red Hook 15 minutes away or in Hudson about 15 minutes away.

Although Otto's occupies a relatively small space you would be amazed at the variety of items available. I was especially impressed with the amount of specialty items, many not found in the large supermarkets.

Besides the grocery items, you can also find organic produce. And that's not all, at Otto's breakfast and lunch is available. For those special occasions , they will gladly cater for you.

So what makes this place special?

For any business customer service is key to success and this is true of Otto's, there is a wonderful staff.

Speechless Sunday art comes in many forms

Art

Art sure comes in many forms. This particular piece was made from chainlinks in mult-colors. The ground was the the canvas which at the time seemed like a great idea.

The artist should have made sure the canvas was ready for the masterpiece by applying material to block weed and grass.

By the time I saw the masterpiece it was obvious some steps were not taken because grass had practically covered the piece of work.

Brick Housefor the good old days

Speechless Sunday| How I long for the good old days

For years I have passed this Hudson NY old brick house, I knew it was old by the type of brick as well as the old tin roof. I suspect in the good old days it was probably th residence of someone with a bit of money. Okay I don't know the real story I just made that up :)

What I do know is that it was there before the cement factory. To the left of the house is an overpass which went directly to the cement factory, however, once the factory came about the old brick house no longer serviced the purpose of a residence.

This home certainly long for the good old days.

Wordless Wednesday|All Alone

I saw this silo on my way back from a closing yesterday, and it got my attention because it was all alone in a field. I suspect at one time it was once surrounded by other buildings, and grains and feed was stored there.

Now it stands all alone in this field with just weeds, and invasive vines around.

Hopefully in business you are not standing alone but rather surrounding yourself with a network. I suspect for members of ActiveRain standing alone is not an option.
