Ann Gibbons reports in the Daily Freeman the Port of Call has reopened. The Catskill waterfront restaurant has been closed since it sustained damage during Superstorm Sandy in October 2012. Owner Frank Guido said the building structure made it through the storm, but the docks and the tents on the restaurant's deck were swept away. As a result of the subsequent flood, he had to replace all the windows and doors, and put up new walls, and also replaced food items, liquor, stoves, refrigerators, air conditioning and computers. Guido said the cost for the damage and restoration totaled in the hundreds of thousands of dollars. He credited the Bank of Greene County and Greene County for supporting him during the recovery period. "I couldn't have done it without them," he said. Read the full story in the Daily Freeman.
