What an awesome thrift store! The People's Place in Kingston, NY isn't your typical thrift store…read moreand neither are the hours. They're open Monday thru Friday 10am-1pm with an added evening opening on Wednesdays only from 5-7pm making it easier for folks who can't visit during the day. The selection here is fantastic and has everything from home décor, clothing, shoes, children's toys, books to unique vintage finds. One of my favorite things, whether it's intentional or not, is how each section is almost completely color coded or themed. For instance, there's a cute summer display with crab and lobster-themed plates with coastal decorative pieces and several other seasonal sections throughout this store. There's a small room towards the back filled with delicate items like fine china, embroidered cotton napkins and a Christmas corner flowing with cute vintage mercury glass ornaments. There's also another room in the 'back-back' for higher-end+designer pieces that aren't mixed with the front part of the store. I totally loved the adorable French boutique-style awning with those classic black & white stripes- I mean...it just adds an upscale touch to the space. Prices are excellent. I picked up three black and white sketch postcards and three picture frames for just $1-$2 each. I even painted the frames red when I got home and they turned out great! Everyone is friendly and welcoming making my time shopping here even better. Totally worth a visit.

My crisis advisor (head of that department) at Family's Kingston, NY office left for personal…read morereasons and I was referred to a counselor. They were given my file and very specific instructions regarding my case, and my needs that were already approved by the previous case manager. I spent three months working with this woman twice a week (therapy, planning, etc.) only to be completely shut down by her and all previous arrangements discarded. I highly suggest that anyone going to them for help keeps my experience in mind, as this arrangement was the only thing giving me the hope to keep going.

Please don't answer distress calls when you aren't in the mood to deal with people's problems that you may think are not interesting. Don't be unkind and bored. A crisis line should not leave you feeling worse.

I do wish they were open on Saturdays but the hours are good for Monday through Friday so I'll simply be grateful that this resource even exists.

And all it takes is a bucket of warm soapy water, a good cotton small towel to clean these hard surfaces. Now, where I seriously and I mean- seriously draw the line are sofas, mattresses, cushions, pillows, etc. and that to me, is just gross. No offense to anyone. Hubs and I noticed a gently-used $2300+ Pottery Barn dining table at this Kingston, NY ReStore for a flat $700. The poundage on this 8' monstrosity of a dinner table had me sold. Except, it was 2' too big for my dining room. But the price was killer. This ReStore is spacious with furniture gathered into groups. For instance, chest of drawers are grouped together, coffee tables in another group, lamps together, etc. There's leven a back room filled construction items like kitchen/bathroom tiles, hammers, etc ridiculously inexpensive. This is one of the best choices if you are looking for second-hand furniture.

Great venue for a show. First time here. Acoustics were great and not a bad seat in the house!…read more There is a bar with beer, wine, and a few snacks on each floor -- note you cannot bring food or drink into the theater, so give yourself enough time before the show Seats were comfortable and there was parking in the area.

The John Batiste/Jack DeJohnette show was very difficult to see from the 5th row. Batiste was…read morehidden behind the piano and DeJohnette was towards the wings and hidden behind a gong. After the show we wandered around trying different rows and seats. IMHO there are zero seats with good sight lines. It's odd and we were very surprised. Was it designed this way? Yes and no. When a theatre orders new seats they tell the manufacturer how many seats they need in the hall, sometimes how many seats per row. Either way the seat manufacturer figures out what assortment of chair widths will work. Yes, that's right. All chairs in a row may not be the same size. If you've ever said "hmm I thought these chairs were wider" you got one of the small chairs. This is part of why people buy subscriptions - year to year they keep the same seat, one that isn't small. Sadly as much as I loved visiting Ulster I will not go back to see a show at this venue. NOTE: The UPAC website has outdated recommendations for restaurants. Several restaurants had closed permanently or were not open for dinner. Definitely need to call yourself and confirm hours and availability for the evening you intend to be there.
