oooh! fun images! I'm going there on my pilgrimage west along the old erie canal, and I'll make sure to walk that road that was once a canal--the Erie Canal may i presume?.

Shawno: Excellent set. Thanks for sharing.

livia: I just loved this post !!

Yes the Erie Canal - there's been talk of rehydrating it as part of a downtown revival plan.

Found this interesting colour photo of downtown back when people used to go there...

Incidentally, Syracuse, NY also has an Erie Boulevard and it too used to be the path of the Erie canal in that city.

Great post! Don't remember having been in Schenectady, but it really looks very familiar, as if I had walked and known those streets thoroughly. Believe me, it's like a true Déjá Vu...

Boring Hour, Not Rush Hour


Last night about 5pm, suddenly snow filled in the sky. I like snow except when I come back home after long day. It took 1 hour instead of 20 mins...^^ Why God give snow in rush hour instead of working hour?
