Growing up in Upstate New York as a little kid, whenever my parents took us to the city, we'd drive to Poughkeepsie to take the metro train down to Grand Central. The train went right along the Hudson River and it's a gorgeous ride but by far the biggest highlight was seeing the ruins of the castle. I was obsessed with fantasy and castles as a little kid, so getting to see it would make my imagination race. I probably enjoyed the 30 seconds of it passing by more than some of the broadway shows my parents took us to. I live in New York now and whenever I take the train upstate back home I still make sure I'm awake when the train passes by.
Yeah, it’s not standing like that anymore. Pretty ruined. One wall on the east side is still up and is being supported by modern braces. Still cool though.
