Phil on Fire: Worries For Upstate NY Neighbors
This summer, I have spent most of August traveling with my family to many parts of New York State, and beyond, visiting with friends and family, including the grandparents’ in Pawlet, Vermont. I have been traveling to small towns Upstate New York for many years, and it’s pretty frightening to see the changes that have taken place in just the last three years. Many of those small towns are spiraling down in a really bad way. Once busy retail strips are now deserted. For sale signs have cropped up all over the place, for both residential homes and businesss. When I speak with people in those towns, they express a lot of fear as jobs and friends are disappearing.
