I grew up in Port from 1997 to 2014. My dad and brother still live there. It's extremely under under rated but social media is ruining

@@LocalNYhistory I mean the amount of people that flood is now because they daw the hawks nest on ig or whatever. The take up the entire road completely disregarding actual traffic so they can get there picture. And don't get me started kn the trash. They(not everyone but alot) leave garbage everywhere. Ans when they take a river trip they sink all the glass ans cans. Making it polluted and unuseble. Ans by unstable I just mean you literally walk down a shallow part of rhe Delaware and if you don't wear shoes you will get cut.

You did a great job with this video. I have a cabin not far from Port Jervis. So I drive past it all the time. I would love to invest in this town one of these days and help improve this community and help preserve its history. Thank you for doing your part.
