They paved and upgraded the parking lot, which is a plus. The surroundings are expansive, leaving enough room to move around. The South Trailhead of Towpath Trail is located just west of the stop, going 0.8 miles to the parking lot just north of Roebling's Delaware Aqueduct Bridge. Now, it's a matter of finding birds, naming them, and enjoying the moment.

As you past by Prestis Auction house, and a few rundown properties, you will see this structure. Its clearly a Synagogue from the decorations. But very small. It was built by a local family, and according to Wiki never has had its own rabbi. Its Orthodox. Not quite 100 years old, its in great shape and will make it to 100 for sure. Its been a National Historic Building since 1999. It is still maintained by a small congregation.

The Quickway (NY Route 17) in my books is one of the best convenient highways to travel on,…read moreconsidering its non-toll and is a bypass of the New York State Thruway from Harriman to North East, Pennsylvania. It is well known for traffic in the areas between Harriman to Monticello - sometimes even Liberty. Beyond there, you will find no traffic and hardly any vehicles from that point on, because of its geographical area and its very rural with a lot of valleys, which is the Catskills. The scenery is very touching and fun to look at along the way, which you can't beat. Keep in mind, most of the exits in the area have limited facilities. Once approaching Binghamton, traffic will start to build up with a lot of services. Beyond Binghamton, it becomes the Southern Tier Parkway. Some areas on the Quickway need improvement, in terms of pavement and also widening shoulders, which some of it has been done. Most of the construction that is being done currently and also in the future, which is TBA, is for the designation of Interstate 86. It's a project that's been going on for many many years to upgrade the road to make it a fully interstate highway. There is no answer until when it will be done, maybe never. For now, this roadway holds as one of the most popular places to travel which I truly enjoy.

This is one of the best institutions in Middletown, but the professionalism is sometimes lacking…read morecompared to most of the other RCLS libraries I patronize. I hate how quickly parking goes sometimes, but there is always a spot open within a block or two, so that's not a big deal in regards to distance. I only hate it because I've been followed walking to the library before even when I've parked in the closest spots to the door in the parking lot. I've been solicited and bothered by people hanging out in the parking lots a few times through the years. Although I don't think I've ever visited and not seen security, the security is never outside but the problems are never inside. My browsing is admittedly a little unconventional. I'll plop on the ground in a corner or dead aisle and skim a book while debating whether it's worth my time to check out. It is weird but has never been an issue at other libraries yet seems to get security's attention at Middletown. While no member of security has said anything, I don't like it because how am I getting all your attention while the people circling the parking lot asking everyone who stops for money going unnoticed. I prefer patronizing the other RCLS locations, although this library is so close that I can walk there from home. The others give more library vibes. Aside from Port Jervis, no one side eyes me for anything. I can't remember how many times I've even fallen asleep while studying at other libraries, and at most someone might tease me about picking a more engaging book next time. In Goshen a reference librarian even encouragingly suggested a quieter spot in a corner to nap so I could wake up fresh for another round of studying. I have a feeling security would chase me out if I ever did that at Middletown. Some librarians might as well. But because I don't feel comfortable there, it's not my choice study spot anyhow. All that said, I did choose my home mostly because of the proximity to the library and because this library is a part of the RCLS system. I do think it's one of the most underrated gems of Middletown. it just doesn't always pass the vibe test, especially is used to the vibes at most of the other RCLS libraries.
