Glens Falls, N.Y.

Mural, Glens Falls, N.Y.

Glens Falls has become one of my favorite places in recent years. The city is a rich, delicious and atmospheric mix of mills, culture, industrial buildings, gracious homes and neighborhoods, history, and  new bustling art, restaurant and music sensibilities. Around every corner is a mix of new and old, and odd and evocative. I came across this mural downtown today. There are great thrift shops, a good museum, a symphony, theater company and impressive library. Even a semi-pro hockey team. On some blocks, you think you’re in a tiny little town, and around the next corner, a vast paper mill rises up, with blinking brick towers and plumes of steam. I love taking photos there.
