Several Saturdays back, David and I, plus our neighbors, Dan and Jennifer, drove up to Sleepy Hollow for its library book sale. I was disappointed not to see the headless horseman, as shown here, but I have to tell you I came away with one real gem, and two books I had been intending to read. All for three dollars each.
But the town! It is a charming little enclave, but so hilly! I am telling you, these Westchester communities can be deceptive.
There was this bar where we thought we could get a burger too, but all they served was drinks, As we quenched our thirst, we saw the town's underbelly--girls, who think nothing of walking down the street like tramps! A troop of tramps! There was this one, dark haired miss. using a sweater as a dress, only not very well, because, with a slit to the side, her panties could clearly be seen! Black, with white background. In public! No decency! Next stop for this one is reform school, not Miss Porter's!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am telling you! Public panties!!!!!!!!!!! What is the world coming to???????
Further on down was a place where we ate and drank, even though it meant walking up a large hill. We spotted a furniture store, where Jennifer saw a piece she just had to have, and it has been delivered.
I don't recall a bookstore, but none was there, or what was did not impress me. The town library certainly did, though. No urban rat trap!
Since we were practically adjacent to Tarrytown, I had the feeling there would be a college nearby; the community had the feel of a college town! If anyone out there knows anything, please tell me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I did buy a Penguin Washington Irving collection, as, for all my literacy, I have never read him!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And not all the folks are like tramps! Take a look here!
This is the REAL Sleepy Hollow, darlings! Lots of friendly folk!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
