The city looks like it's growing and developing downtown, which is a very small area considering the population size. Only a few blocks. The police are everywhere yet no where. Many areas of the city are becoming blighted, with homeless beggars on every corner at many major intersections, filthy trash-filled streets, and a very noticeable prostitution presence in certain areas. I would not drive through almost any part of Schenectady with my car windows down or people approach you trying to score or sell drugs or panhandle. I plan to move out of this dumpy city

WE have been looking in Schenectady for a few years. We have stayed at the Parker INN a few times in the Presidential Suite. It has what we want. City atmosphere, but small and manageable. Lots of renovation already done. Proctors theatre is great and filled with affordable culture. A bread bakery on Jay Street that can't be beat. A library and small shops. Upper Union Street is a bustling neighborhood on the brink of a suburb. Friendly people and lots to do. We will retire here with a bunch of kids in an old big house and walk where we want.
