MILLERTON — September was a busy, interesting month for real estate activity in the Village of Millerton and the surrounding Town of North East. In the Village the North East Community Center purchased the former 3.7 acre Overlook site, which connects to the former Millerton Elementary School it was given in 2023, for $200,000. “NECC is in the midst of determining what our next steps are going to be,” NECC Executive Director Christine Sergent said. Mercantile Millerton Holdings purchased 5 Main St. to expand the programs and activities of the Madrose Gallery next door. The smallest building in the Village, only 389 square feet, 8 John St. on .01 acres of land, was sold for $165,000 — a village record of $447 per square foot. The remaining Village property transferred was a two-family residence located on Central Avenue.

The four Town transfers were similarly varied including one mobile home, one log cabin, one foreclosure and 36 acres of land.

With memoir...the character only knows what the character knows.
—Janice Erlbaum

In “Girlbomb: A Halfway Homeless Memoir,” published in 2006, author Janice Erlbaum wrote about the years after she left her family’s Brooklyn apartment at 15, moving through shelters, group homes, squats, clubs and the streets of 1980s New York while somehow continuing to attend high school. The book has sold more than 75,000 copies, stayed in print for two decades and continues to find new readers.

Now Erlbaum, 57, lives in Millerton and on Saturday, Sept. 5, at 7:30 p.m., she will celebrate the 20th anniversary of “Girlbomb” with a reading at Black Rabbit Dispensary. The event is open to the public and will be livestreamed on Instagram.
