Why Woodstock, New York might be annoying:

    It lost chunks of its territory to the towns of Middleton, Windham, Shandaken and Olive.
    A local art colony held an annual Maverick Festival (1915-31), in which 'hundreds of free spirits gathered each summer for music, art, theater and drunken orgies in the woods.'
    Although the town is synonymous with rock festivals, the Woodstock Festival was actually held over 40 miles away in Bethel.
    Each summer it gets overrun by nostalgic hippies.
    The town's website notes, 'Someone joked that Woodstock is the place to find a good pair of organic shoelaces.'

Why Woodstock, New York might not be annoying:

    Well before the Woodstock Festival made it famous, it was a mecca for artists, writers and musicians.
    It attracted people with its combination of scenic views and proximity to New York City.
    It hosts America's oldest artists' colony and longest-running chamber music festival.
