Schenectady hasn't had a prom within the city limits for at least 35 years or more. In the late 1970's, Mont Pleasant High School used to hold theirs at the Edgewood in Rotterdam.
The only facilities in the county for a large event like that are Glen Sanders (Glenville), Mallozzi's (Rotterdam), Settles Hill (Princetown), River Stone Manor (Glenville) and the Mohawk Country Club (Niskayuna).
Maybe the nayboobs will stop complaining, get off their asses and invest some money building a banquet venue INSIDE the city .................. ROFL ............ That will never happen.
Mont Pleasant class of 1992 had it in the school gym. They did it for nostalgic reason right before it closed as a high school. It looked beautiful and really did have that old time prom feeling to it.
Since the schools combined I'm not sure if there are halls inside the city border to hold everyone.

1992 was a rare exception. Now in 1992, they had the new gym to use. Back in the 1970's, we had the old gym -- don't think that I would have wanted a prom in the old gym.

how things have changed and not for the better in my mind.....
I pay taxes (income, property and sales). But now back to the real issue -- once again the IDB leader of the crazed monkey nayboobs has chosen to LIE, DISTORT and DECEIVE in his/her pathetic attempts to discredit those who are actually DOING SOMETHING to improve our community. Lazy-assed, whining lowlife nayboobs prefer to spend their miserable existence wallowing in negativity and tearing down others and their community.
You pay sales tax (from your low wage made up "outreach" job) when you feed yourself at al those tax exempt restuarants
You have income tax withheld from low wages but probably get every penny back.
Property taxes, absolutely NOT. There is no records ANYWHERE of your name appearing on the tax rolls.
And you're brownnosing the city/co/plex leaders, shaking the pom poms claiming the city is improving is NOT resulting in then giving you a job.
We who speak allegedly negative are NOT tearing down the community. Rather we are stating TRUTHS about the MIS-USE of OUR tax dollars, the mis-use of tax dollars which is causing a massive reduction to the tax base, reductions to property values, causing home sales and prices to fall, taxes to be increased for fewer services, blight to spread throughout the city, etc.
And you REFUSE to state what the "return on investment" that the homeowners in the city are allegedly getting. Well? What are they getting, DV?

Sorry folks....but schools don't hold their proms in the 'gym' anymore. They haven't for a very long time. Where is Schalmont and Mohon having theirs? HINT....not in the gym!
Most are held at desmond, hall of springs, mallozzi's and the like. And the girl's attire are right out of the Hollywood red carpet walk! .....plunging and very revealing!!!
We aren't in Kansas anymore Dorothy!!

and so BT....spoil the kids....spare no expense......the true meaning of school and proms is lost forever....it's a crap shoot and who can outdo the other..
society has become competitive in an expensive way....and if the parents go along with it???...what are they teaching their children...
and no we don't live in Kansas....who would want to.....may end up in east Jesus.....

It has been 40 years - or more than a generation - since Proms were held in gyms. Proms were expensive back in the 1970's. Tuxes were expensive, girls' dresses were expensive .. this is certainly NOT a new phenomenon nor something that you can blame on this generation.

Yes, Proms have always been expensive, but there is a level of out of control overindulgence that wasn't there in the past. I heard of a girl (although this was not Schenectady HS) who was being teased because her parents spent a mere $1,000 on her for the prom. Forget saving for you kid's college, their wedding...if you have wee ones start saving for the prom.
I'm starting to hope my kids will be one of those weird artsy kids who have the balls to show to the prom in a homemade duct tape outfit or something.
