The purpose of this thread is to engage in meaningful discussions between adults throughout Rotterdam/Schenectady. Notice, I said "adults" ... so TRY to keep it on topic and not get into personal bashing of anyone/anything.  Q. What ONE thing would you like to see happen in Schenectady that would make a positive impact on the community, and how can it be accomplished? I looked outside today and saw an older neighbor raking leaves. She was "of advanced age" and I kinda felt bad that she was out doing it, while kids were across the street playing and laughing, having a good time. I went over and raked the remainder of her yard and put it into paper bags. It took no more than 30 minutes for me to do it, and as she went inside to get me a couple dollars to thank me, I told her that's not the way neighbors worked together. I suggested that she go inside and make a desert for another family, or save that $ for her heating bill. I swear the lady almost cried. I think, if more people would help out their neighbors, Schenectady would once again be a great place to live. What would you do? |
