Thanks to the wonderful work of so many folks -- Schenectady's Downtown is being reborn as a vibrant and wonderful place to shop, visit, work and live. Let's raise a glass of the finest New York State wine or beer and toast the RENAISSANCE.
"Downtown" by Petula Clark
When you're alone and life is making you lonely You can always go - downtown When you've got worries, all the noise and the hurry Seems to help, I know - downtown Just listen to the music of the traffic in the city Linger on the sidewalk where the neon signs are pretty How can you lose? The lights are much brighter there You can forget all your troubles, forget all your cares So go downtown, things'll be great when you're Downtown - no finer place, for sure Downtown - everything's waiting for you Don't hang around and let your problems surround you There are movie shows - downtown Maybe you know some little places to go to Where they never close - downtown Just listen to the rhythm of a gentle bossa nova You'll be dancing with him too before the night is over Happy again The lights are much brighter there You can forget all your troubles, forget all your cares So go downtown, where all the lights are bright Downtown - waiting for you tonight Downtown - you're gonna be all right now [Instrumental break] And you may find somebody kind to help and understand you Someone who is just like you and needs a gentle hand to Guide them along So maybe I'll see you there We can forget all our troubles, forget all our cares So go downtown, things'll be great when you're Downtown - don't wait a minute for Downtown - everything's waiting for you Downtown, downtown, downtown, downtown ...

I think Alias and I can do something to live'n that song up if you want, DV.
"While Foreign Terrorists were plotting to murder and maim using homemade bombs in Boston, Democrap officials in Washington DC, Albany and here were busy watching ME and other law abiding American Citizens who are gun owners and taxpayers, in an effort to blame the nation's lack of security on US so that they could have a political scapegoat."
Well, we like fulfilling requests, DV. Please feel free to make more requests. We will make sure we deliver!
When you've got connections To the Democrat Party You can get free dough downtown Then you've no worries, and you've the truth you can bury Seems to help, I know, downtown
Just listen to the jingle of the payoffs in the city Vagrants on the sidewalk where the urine stains aint pretty TaxPAYERS lose!
The Plex has the power there They can hide all the troubles, pretend that that care and be Downtown, Millionaires(Ronny is) waiting for Downtown, Condos next to the sewer, Downtown, Metroplex schilling for (Downtown)
Instr. bridge
Shift all the taxes To the rest of the town there are Dog and Pony shows downtown Maybe you know Some politicians to go to When all the banks are closed downtown
listen to the rhythm of a gentle assault rifle We'll be dodgin' bullets, out in front of Bombers
Grab your wallet again
Taxbreaks are much bigger there Millionaires have no trouble, with taxpayer funded meals Downtown if you know how to grease the wheel, Downtown, Our leaders know how to steal, Downtown, Metroplex runs the whole dealllll (Downtown downtown)

PS- I left off the final chorus. I like the Nelson Riddle arrangement better.
ps- Tony Hatch wrote the song, not Petula Clark.

Alias, I wanted him to feel special. I figured he would appreciate it more if he believed it was his special "request!"

The replacement of morality and conscience with law produces a deadly paradox.

Now I thought he had an imagination, a really wild imagination, because only in one's imagination does downtown and the city seem good.
But again, with home values so extremely low, and mortgage rates about the lowest in history, and McC getting Key bank to give out mortgatges far in excess of the purchase price or value of the house, you'd think this guy who thinks Schenectady is improving would jump on the chance to buy and live in the city now. But it's obviously only in his imagination because he refuses to take advantage of all the giveaways.
Optimists close their eyes and pretend problems are non existent. Better to have open eyes, see the truths, acknowledge the negatives, and speak up for the people rather than the politicos and their rich cronies.
