_downstreet_ certainly is an interesting one for me. I live much closer to

New York City than to Albany. Yet, long-time residents and their children in

this suburb of New York City use _downstreet_ for the business section of Cold

Spring. We are located in the Hudson Highlands (right across the river from

West Point)--a mountainous region. There is no evidence recorded on the DARE

map (Vol. 2, p. 168) for the lower Hudson Valley. Is this a relic of some

sort or a attribute of some speech island?
