For a Monday, it's as fine a day as anyone can ask for; the sun is shining, the trees are in bloom, with pink and white and yellow blossoms scenting the air....
Which is a good thing, because, what with the paper mill and the auto exhaust and the micro-breweries, Glens Falls often smells more like a sweaty construction worker's armpit.
Yes, if there's one jewel in the vast green towering crown that is New York's Adirondack mountains...the city of Glens Falls (population 15,000) isn't it. It's more like the jock strap. ![]()
Ah, but life in Glens Falls isn't all dull, ya'know. There's a new bakery down on South Street. So, not only can you watch the drunks lurching out of the bars at night, now, in the mornings, you can visit the bakery and watch the buns rise! How cool is that?
Downtown Glens Falls (all of two short blocks of it) just lost its pool hall. There's still the night club, that's open two days a week. I hear that they'll be putting in a replacement for the pool hall, though. Yeah, sounds really exciting too. They're putting in it's place, the National Museum of Used Chewing Gum. Exciting stuff, ey? Bet they'll have no trouble filling all those new hotels they're planning to build with that!



Have you ever thought of leaving? I know you have no money but perhaps you could find better opportunities if you left for someplace else. What, really, do you have to lose?
