All Killer, No Filler: Inside Ironhead Records in Port Jervis, New York
Saddled between the New Jersey and Pennsylvania borders, and located in Orange County, New York, Port Jervis is one of those fantastic small cities that in recent years is experiencing a much-deserved renaissance.
I stopped in yesterday after visiting with my folks, he’s got a great selection and it’s rad to have a punk record store in my home town. Pretty weird to see it in Spin magazine though.
Driving the Hawks Nest, a serpentine stretch of road built in to the cliffs high above the Delaware river, a little north of Port Jervis, NY (and Montague, NJ, where I grew up). It’s a popular scenic drive, with a few spots to stop and take in the view.
There used to be a restaurant overhanging the cliffs that we went to a lot as kids, but it burned down in 2002. I remember sharing a dish of pistachio ice cream there with my grandpa ♥️.
Marvel fans may recognize Hawks Nest as the road where Dr. Strange wrecks his car.
