So this is my first time in Glen Falls. It’s really pretty. It’s kinda what I expect in a small city – It’s a dense commercial area with some living space strewn about, but it’s also got some breathing room, but yet isn’t desolate like Troy is. Got a lot of sky room. I really like that. Plus, if you plug “Glen Falls, NY” into google maps, it bascially puts the marker right on the coffee shop I’m sitting in right now. They have really good hot apple cider here. So this is like the middle of Glens Falls, which is awesome. I would love – absolutely love – to just go walk around and see what I could find in this place, but it’s just too freaking cold out for that today. The world is very cold at 6 am in november in New York, by the way.
When summer rolls around tho, I’ll come back here. From where I’m sitting I can see the Glen Falls Civic Center, which means they show shows, and I’m sitting next to some art on loan from the World Awareness Children’s Museum, which according to the sign is “an educational institution which fosters knowledge and appreciation of world cultures through exhibitions, Internation Youth Art Exchange, and educational out reach programs. We are committed to using art conceived through the eyes of children to promote peace and understanding among people of the world.”
That may be the fabled museum where the halls are lined with refridigerators to hang all the children’s artwork on. (Steven Wright refrence)
When Spring rolls around I’ll come back, My mom might want to come for the museum, but I just want to come to walk around. There’s a Small toy store across the street from here, and a billards hall to. The hall is selling off all it’s stuff, and it’s killing me to not by the $1350 arcade machine they’re selling. I’d have to empty my bank account to do it, but I totally could. (Yeah, I kinda decided that my dream job is to own my own arcade. Again, a rant for another time.) Plus there’s like a bunch of shopping centers within like a 10 minute drive, including a Toys R Us (which we’ll probably be stopping at on the way back :3) and there’s a Pizza Hut! They’ve been going extinct, but there’s one here…
I’ll have to see if there’s an information center or some such around here, so I can get some…info about Glen Falls. Also gotta go to Albany there’s a couple of streets around there that might be good to walk around. But Albany gives me more a “big business / historical site” vibe, while this place seems more “pratical / alive and pumpin” feel. There might be some sweet clubs around here.
Oh well. I’m gonna play Dawn of War in this cafe for the next few hours.
F*R*A*G*: “Why aren’t we KILLING THINGS YET?? Where’s the BLOOD I was promised??” “*points* Aren’t they so cute!?”
