Hi, Barbara, I live about 15 minutes from Lander St. and it is still a place to avoid at night, esp, N.Lander. I suppose it has improved some in the past few years but it is still pretty run down. Broadway has been repaved so driving is somewhat better but we are losing the brick streets all the time. The area south of B'way near Washington's Headquarters is looking up a bit. Upscale bakery, antique shops, etc. Tell your husband the Courtsunis family still owns the soda fountain/candy shop only now they are Commodore Chocolates (BEST in the world!) and that all the 1930s mahogany woodwork is still there. It is a must see if any of you ever get to Newburgh!

Hi Margaret, I remember both the soda fountain and the Commodore, we used to go there for Christmas and Easter candy. I was born in Newburgh in 1922 and grew up there. Lots of good memories of it. It was a nice place to grow up in.

To all you wonderful people that have responded to the "Newburgh address" I would like to ask a question. Do any of you know where 256 Van Ness St is and what is there now.?. My great grandfather Henry Muhlemann and his first wife Jane lived there with two sons , William and Gottleib Muhlemann . Also. does anyone know where I can find a directory for this city for the years of 1879/80.? Thank you all very much. Lena
