Keep An Eye Out For the L.L. Bean Car in Kingston, New York

It is not every day that you see a shoe or should I say a boot driving around Kingston. Today however was the exception. The L.L. Bean Boot was in town touring as they got ready to open a Kingston location.

The boot made a stop in the Lingston community at People's Place, 17 Saint James Street. People's Place is a food pantry, community cafe, wellness empowerment center, and thrift store. They also serve Ulster County with more than 20 free programs. People's Place has been in action since 1972.

It is not clear exactly why the L.L. Bean Boot made a stop at People's Place but it is clear they were welcomed and happy to give the L.L. Bean crew a tour. Maybe The Boot brought some donations for the thrift shop.
