Hoosick Falls, New York (Troy, Bennington: hotel, shop, summer)

[Phoenix lady]

Does anyone know about Hoosick Falls, NY--I know it's small, around 3600 people, but anything else about what it's like there? General or specific information? People mostly go to Troy or Bennington to shop,etc?

Hoosick Falls, is a very lovely town, my late father used to summer their and I fell in love with the area, many years ago outside of town there was a lake called Babcock Lake, there once was a hotel/bar......burned to the ground in the 60's, but the lake is still there (I hope). We'd take rides to see the Bennington Monument which were minutes away. We'd stay at a motel just outside town, Herb and his wife owned it.
