Must there be a title?

ERROR. In debut blog (Dec. 13) we foreshadowed advent on Catskill’s Main Street of five art galleries (vs. present one). Make that six. And gallery we did not know about has already opened. It’s Wilder Art Space, located where adoptive GreeneLander Mike Tyson trained: top floor of what is now George Jurgsatis’s Townhouse Antiques, 375 Main. It’s run by two young couples: Maria Ornelas & John Peters, Hilary Manning & Earl Lundy. On March 12^th (Saturday), from 5 pm, they unveil new exhibition. lnfo at (518) 653-6169 or by e-mail to wilderstudios@msn.com.

HITCHED AT LAST. On Thursday, Feb. 25, Yael Minor and Keith McMorrow closed Bell’s Café in mid-afternoon as usual, then strolled down Main Street to Greene County Courthouse where, after being joined by various kinfolk of his (hers are in Israel) and by Judge George Pulver Jr., they were married. When they returned (home is on the third floor) they found front door festooned with decorative good wishes from Heart of Catskill Association.

UNBALANCED? Among Columbia-Greene Board of Realtors’ 11 directors, only two—Claudia Zucker and Liz Kistinger—are GreeneLanders. But that doubles our 2004 representation (by Jim Bulich).

BOOM in GreeneLand real estate prices has been charted by State Association of Realtors. Median price of existing single-family home here rose from 2002 to 2004 by whopping 54 per cent, highest of any county in New York. Also showing steep increases during 2002-04 were Columbia (43%) and Ulster counties (36%). GreeneLand’s big jump can be ascribed in no small measure to its low-cost starting point. Median price of a single-family home here in 2002 was only $90,000, as compared with $120,000 in Albany, $150,000 in Columbia,$155,000 in Ulster counties. Thus, although we’ve had a big price jump, homes here still may be relatively cheap, Among single-family homes that changed hands here last year, median price was $139,000, vs. $164,400, $215,000 and $210,500 for Albany, Columbia and Ulster counties, and with $232,000 State-wide. Oddest thing about figures distributed by NYSAR is showing of apparent big DROP in VOLUME of sales from 2002: from 655 to 346 (2003) and 370 (2004). Not plausible.
