A poetic take on another “S” city with a striking name. This time, we have an upstate New York town. It was once of great influence in the U.S. It’s about a 20 min drive from NY state capital, Albany, and is a premier meeting place in the Hudson Valley, arguably the most scenic region in all of New York state.
This is Schenectady …
S uch a cutesy name but doggone shame how this
C ity, once of major stature as
H Q of General Electric
E normously declined … though...
N ot to go too Negative Nancy
E fforts are great to restore old town glory
C asino trips at Rivers are a blast
T ake a stroll in her fab Central Park
A kin to the one way yonda

Y et with less fanfare
