Kingston NY, Fifth Best Place in the Country for Artists to Work and Live

I was very surprised when reading an article in the Ulster County Press this morning. According to Business Week, Kingston NY is fifth in the country for best places for artists to live and work. More surprising is that it beat out San Francisco. Ahead of Kingston are places like NY, LA, Santa Fe and Carson City. A key factor in the piece states that, “artists attract artists.” I guess I shouldn’t be surprised because my hometown is visually stunning and filled with architectural gems. Kingston has an interesting history and is on the Hudson River. Seems my return after living in Scottsdale AZ for twelve years was just in time. Imagine what the property values could get to; glad to beat the artistic crowd. Now I have to wonder if the county politicos will figure out what a boost in tourism art draws, loosen the purse strings! http://www.ulstercountypress.com/
