"A Great Continuous Integration Tool"


What do you like about Hudson?

With an epic history of culture, commerce, and transportation, our mighty Hudson has been a source of spectacle long before it was even considered for European settlement. Since then, it has been symbiotic with our development and defined by our artists. The river is our most prominent feature, and we are darn proud of it.
Hudson, Beacon, Newburgh, Poughkeepsie, Peekskill, and Kingston (to name a few) are all in different stages of gritty to gorgeous. We’re willing to pardon their progress. After all, this transitional phase has created a unique collision of industry and ingenuity; main street mentality and historical structure; and incredible dining and eclectic displays of culture.

Not only did the Hudson River School of artists call it home (How could they not? It’s part of their name!), but their homes are now part of our landscape. Samuel F.B. Morse (portrait artist as well as telegraph inventor), Edward Hopper, and many others were also residents.

And fought here. So did fellow Founding Father Alexander Hamilton. Plus, Declaration of Independence signer Philip Livingston and Federalist Papers co-author John Jay called the Hudson Valley home.

What do you dislike about Hudson?

If you listen to New York media, the gaping maw of hell is a neighborhood just south of its kitchen. Hudson Yards is the “Horror on the Hudson,” a “real estate grift” with buildings that are “pointy and shiny and pointless. It has the Vessel, a Thomas architectural sculpture that is a “gaudy monument,” that “looks like an unfortunate misshapen thing produced by your 10-year-old at summer camp, except it cost $200 million,” and has been nicknamed “The Wastebasket.” It has a shiny new mall, “a shopping center as prosaic as they come.”

What have you been using it for and what problems did Hudson solve?

Henry Hudson faced many different challenges. The worst hardship he faced was the ice that could crack the boat in half. Hudson on his first voyage went through a lot of fog. Fog is one of the worst things you can have if you are an explorer because you can not see where you are going. This is exactly what happened to Henry Hudson because he went off course with the fog. On Henry Hudson's second voyage he encountered at the least seven storms. The rain caused huge waves that would come and flood the deck and the crew would have to use buckets and scoop the water off the boat. The third voyage was the worst. When some members of Henry Hudson's crew set off to find food on the shore, the First Nations attacked them and killed one of Henry Hudson's men. The man that died was one of the most important men on the ship. He would keep watch to see if there were chunks of ice up ahead and if there were dead ends. On his last voyage, Henry Hudson encountered the menacing ice. This ice was so thick that his boat was stuck. By the time the ice melted and the boat was free, his unhappy crew plotted against him and set him adrift in a boat with his son and a few other crew members.
