Yes, good old Coxsackie.  I live about 20 miles North of it in an Albany
'burb.  It's actually pronounced by locals "Cook-sock-y", although when I
was a 411 operator, people from other areas would call asking for a number
in "Cock-suk-y" almost daily.  I always managed not to laugh, but don't ask
me how....

Schroon Lake is beautiful, by the way...

Coxsackie, NY about 20 miles south of Albany just off Rt. 87.
Unlike Peggy's Crotch in colorful NY State it is on the map.
I discovered it in the mid forties on the front of a (Greyhound??) bus
while traveling to another notably named and lovely NY burg, Schroon Lake.
