My Neighborhood: Woodstock’s Bohemian Rhapsody

Longtime Woodstocker Debbie Dougan has watched her famous town transform from the renowned home of sex, drugs, and rock ’n’ roll to a hippie-chic Hudson Valley hotspot that lures tourists from New York City and beyond with its earthy-meets- sophisticated vibe and rich history.
