  • The village of Herkimer just recently received a $10 million grant to improve the downtown Main Street corridor.
    I walked up and down both sides of Main Street, recording all the way, looking in the windows of some of the failed businesses and never had a problem with anybody until I went to the Village office to ask about how they were going to appropriate the funds. That is when we ran into a couple talking shit and the village water employees who have a problem with me looking at our truck.
    This was not meant to be a first amendment audit, so I removed the interaction with the water department, employees and listed that separately.
    Here’s a link to that video.

    I moved here in 1967. The parking lot by the today tanning salon was a movie theater. That tanning spot was Marine Midland Bank & 1st ? Bank before that. Check that walk way. I remember the Learner shop, Vouge, Mungers, Jack's Jewelers, Woolworths, Montgomery Wards, Palmer House. Check out the walk through.😀👋💖👍🙏💖✝️✨

      Greetings Coral. I too, remember most of these places you mentioned.
      I think Herkimer has a leadership problem. The current administration leaves something to be desired.

    9:00 Love the owners and employees of that market. I used to go to school with the guy behind the counter, awesome fella. They just switched locations a couple days ago they used to be a block down near M&T bank.
    Edit: 25:26 that’s the owner.

    It was either elect the same mayor who let the town go into decay or elect a new who one who acts like her shit don't stink and is MIA alot of the time.

    You should come to Gloversville NY (just an hour from Herkimer going towards Albany) and do the same thing. Please. They got the same grant a few years ago, and main street looks worse than before they got the grant, and there are less businesses open. They announced on Facebook a lot of plans, as far as I can tell very few if any have actually come to fruition. I suspect a lot of the money has been laundered into corrupt city officials pockets, as they have nothing to show for it.

      I’m finding it increasingly difficult to be nice to people. Especially when they don’t deserve it.
