The Last days in Newburgh

Tomorrow is our last day in Newburgh, NY, we move to Yonkers on Friday to go work with that division of Groundwork Hudson Valley. We had a taste of their office on Tuesday when we went down to National Night Out in Yonkers to help them set up and run their tables. I haven't updated much on Newburgh but this is what we have done; worked at the Armory which has been by far the best aspect of this project. The Armory is exactly that, an old military armory that closed about 3 years ago that the city bought for $1 and is now working to convert into a recreation center. We have been working on demo-ing a few different aspects so that they are able to get architects in to finally start the process of putting in an indoor turf field. Tomorrow we'll be going back to actually meet with two New York State Senators, which should be interesting. We've also worked at Downing Park and Safe Harbors while we've been here, both have been maintenance work: weeding, painting, washing windows, getting poison ivy. The fun stuff. That's pretty much it, I'll be sad to leave the housing here it's been nice having my own room and wifi but hopefully it'll be nice in Hastings-on-Hudson.

Here's some pictures.
