Paula’s is a home away from home to so many of us. The events, music, great food, hospitality & fun at Paula’s has brought so much joy to all of us. This is the “gathering place” in Dutchess County for so many people.
Paula's Cafe is fun and inclusive and it's a fun place to be after a long day of work. We need to keep music going at Paula's. Paula has been dedicated to bringing bands to the Hudson Valley.
This would be a terrible loss for our community, and the betrayal of a small business. This is a long established and popular venue. It is a place where people come together over food and drink to laugh, dance, and celebrate community. It moved to this location with the expectation of continuing its mission. It is unacceptable to cost a business the expense of opening on a space a space based on a known business model, and then to deny that business the right to earn and thrive via their model. It would be a slap to the cultural and business community if you were to drive this establishment out.
Paula’s is an amazing venue for live music. We have had so many fun times with our girls, and with each other, listening to one of our favorite bands. I can’t imagine Paula’s without it. Please don’t take the music away!
