In the beginning of the video, after the roundabout, there is a gas station on the right as you go up the hill into downtown Liberty, there used to be an Amoco station there my Dad owned. He built race cars and was a top rate automotive technician in his day. Sadly he died at 40 years old from a major heart attack in 79. I miss him everyday. I have fond memories of growing up there back in the 60s and 70s. It sure has changed. I heard Grossinger's is gone too. Nothing ever lasts. My best childhood memories are from this quaint little town.
@@DavidLS1 you don’t know what you’re missing. Posting up at a gas pump for days or pitching a tent in the middle of the woods should be every man’s dream.
@@CokChopBeats I outgrew the 'outdoorsman' dream around the same time I outgrew being a Boy Scout. But as I recall, I was pitching tents left and right back then.
I lived on 100 South Main Street. Over the supermarket, but the building is torn down now. Mr. Saks was our Landlord. Went to Pre-K in the Church across the street and then to Liberty school. There use to be a Woolworth on the Street and Singers Diner, Our family moved to Middletown NY when I entered the second grade where I remained until I graduated High School. So many warm memories.
At 2:34 on the right side of the screen you can see a glimpse of Liberty Elementary School, where I attended second grade way back in the 1979-1980 school year. I'm guessing a lot of the people watching this video attended that school at some point. Thanks for posting.
in 1980, I worked in a restaurent called Triangle Diner, cross the street from Grossingers. exit Route 17 on right, at the stop sign, left to Liberty, right trun was Ferndale, Holiday Inn was on right side. I lived few hundred feet on a pongero? on left. after left turn, right side was super market, a Shell gas station T road , Triangle Diner was on left where I worked. Sulliven county. Winter always cold, the coldest day I saw was 24 minus. time flies, I left there in 10/1982 to New Orleans, louisiana... de Miami, fl
I used to live here in the early 90’s and haven’t been back since. I was born in Liberty. My Grandpa worked at Bruce’s Garage. Idk if that’s still there. But I’ll be back in mid 2020 to have a look around while we’re in Maine. I can’t wait.
@@muramolly it will never happen . They said casino will be fun nothing is happening and the waterpark 4 years later is dead like 3 cars in parking lot . I don’t plan on living here long there’s not life here no matter how many casinos , water parks or Marshall’s or Popeyes they open . It just plainly suck in Sullivan county
While my husband was a correction officer at the Woodbourne correctional facility, I worked at the Maimonides hospital In Liberty. Later they built the new hospital in Harris. My last child was born at Liberty Loomis hospital in liberty which was an just an old house.Dr Fried delivered my baby.
I miss liberty. I worked in a summer camp from 86-92 on the hill . Mccabes, O'Connors aka the pursuit of happiness. Italian delight can go against any pizzeria in the boroughs. And I'm from Brooklyn.
My ex-girlfriend lived there and I use to call it the "tiny ghetto in the cat skills". It's a tiny town that has potential to be quaint but forget about it.
Wow you had all that there? I used to live here in like 2017-19 and there was really nothing besides Agway, Shoprite and a whole bunch of small businesses.
I’ve always dreamed of going back to this hidden gem of a town. Till then I’m stuck in Miami Beach with breath taking view of the ocean as I watch boats cruse by. Please someone save me.
@@codyhook248 I like to take a drive to the general area for a change of pace, maybe do some shopping, but it seems every year there is less and less. There is a mall on the corner of 52 soon there will be no stores left.
Wait until you go to Monticello, it worse. This place reminds me of Narrowsburg and Ellenville NY combined. My fiancee never wants to come here ever again after she went to the vet and put one of her dogs down.
@@dennisrheinhard5175 Narrowsville has turned around and Ellenville is doing so as we speak! Liberty looks as though it will be forgtten though - there's no attraction(s).
A shit hole with astronomical taxes on property ! Taxes are so high it has become impossible to sell your house if you live here. You either abandon it and walk away from your home or you continue to pay the outrageous rates on your property. No other option. Very depressing for homeowners.
you literally summed it all up right here lol shit is disgusting 20k in debt our house along with others around us are hazardous cant fix them taxes are too much nor can we move to a better place due to trying to keep up with the taxes we're stuck in a hole and keep digging deeper

I know exactly what you are talking about. Im 15 and that garage was a place that sold furniture and it closed and yes grossingers was nocked down
I grew up in Liberty. I couldn't wait to leave. I went away to college when I was eighteen and never looked back.

I used to live there back in the early 90's . still pretty much the same.
Where you live now ?
@@mermaidlu5125 I'm back in Brazil !
Even know it’s around the same except a few stores band that movie theater that closed is re opening

Was anything different
Your not missing anything
Former resident. Hoping for good things to happen for those who still live there!
It’s coming, any day now.
@@CokChopBeats Whats coming :lol:? Higher taxes?
I’ll just sit and wait lol

The soundtrack made Liberty sound like a happening place instead of a down-at-heels Catskill town.
Yo vivi 10 años en liberty 1992 Recuerdos. Tengo familia que aun viben ayi. Dios les vendiga
You passed the Liberty Diner. Great place to eat
Cassis is pretty good to now
@@mysteryman3255 They're not but not as good as Liberty
I meant to say they're not bad but not as good as Liberty.
That is the only place to eat from what I was told
While my husband was a correction officer at the Woodbourne correctional facility, I worked at the Maimonides hospital In Liberty. Later they built the new hospital in Harris. My last child was born at Liberty Loomis hospital in liberty which was an just an old house.Dr Fried delivered my baby.
I miss liberty. I worked in a summer camp from 86-92 on the hill . Mccabes, O'Connors aka the pursuit of happiness. Italian delight can go against any pizzeria in the boroughs. And I'm from Brooklyn.
Italian Delight was the BOMB. I remember the owner, SAL, letting my brother and I make our own pizza one time.
Visited once and will never return to this dump.
Not a lot of traffic. Looks like a great place for someone that can work from his own home.
Anyone else here as a result of the last Shortline bus out of NYC that goes to Binghamton/Ithaca?
My ex-girlfriend lived there and I use to call it the "tiny ghetto in the cat skills". It's a tiny town that has potential to be quaint but forget about it.
The Sullivan county delinquents make everything into a ghetto in rural Sullivan county.
Montigetto is what we call Monticello
I feel bad you went out with some girl from Liberty 🤣
@@icedcoffee6461 Hahaha. As do I!
What made you think it was a good idea to date someone from there 😂
Update: Sears is gone, Wendys is gone. That mall is pretty much vacant.
You forgot something. We also lost taco bell
Wow you had all that there? I used to live here in like 2017-19 and there was really nothing besides Agway, Shoprite and a whole bunch of small businesses.
@@adrianb3015 um I still live there like 3 years ago there was mcdonalds, burgerking and taco bell
@@mysteryman3255 yeah ik the McDonald’s but I thought they removed the Taco Bell and where tf was the Burger King ?
@@adrianb3015 burger king was litterally right across the street, the taco bell got removed around a year ago
I lived there now I’m in miami
Along with most residents.
video makes it look larger and less drab-have I gotten younger.....
stop at mc cabes for some brewskis
I’ve always dreamed of going back to this hidden gem of a town. Till then I’m stuck in Miami Beach with breath taking view of the ocean as I watch boats cruse by. Please someone save me.
you don't want to go back.... trust me
@@codyhook248 High tax dump with nothing to offer. The scenery outside of town is nice.
@@alb12345672 lmfaooo i left that town there is no hope for anything there

@@alb12345672 lol i don’t know what mall you’re talking about because the only “mall” is the liberty one past the diner but that’s got nothing
I worked at that days inn hotel in front of Wendy’s that place sucked
Good God what a depressing looking town.
+Ty Vallon Its even worse when you live here for 19 years
TRUCKER TWO TIME Liberty is as good as life gets

It’s so depressing I can’t be here anymore
@@meisycuevas9715 That';s why I never went back. So sad. It was a nice place.
