Ok So Glens Falls Sucks

This video pretty much captures the essence of Glens Falls. There is nothing here to see, period.

This city? I use the term city very loosely, was once billed Hometown USA by Look Magazine in 1944, and has long outlived that title. All 5 movie theaters The Rialto, The Empire, The State, The Paramount, The Park Street Theater, were all torn down or closed years ago. Why? No one really knows, or no one will say, I guess it was all part of their urban renewal project, that started in the late 60's and early 70's that led to the tearing down of many businesses and homes, but it did give us the notorious Henry Hudson Town Houses. Yah!

But tourists keep coming to this area by the hundreds if not thousands during the summer, and I've always wondered why. I think the reason is, is that they are on their way to someplace else. Since Glens Falls NY, is on route 9, people are simply passing through, on their way to better places. So Glens Falls is pretty much just a glorified rest stop for tourists. Which should be its new name, "Your Rest Stop While On Your Way To Better Places"

There really is nothing here to see, so if you're passing by, just keep on passing by, don't stop, for too long anyway, you might just get stuck here.

Hometown USA? Even the Mayor Thinks That's funny.
