    I used to live a few miles away in Schenectady. This part of New York is very old and traces its roots back to the Dutch. Much of these areas need to be rebuilt, instead our government spends $ trillions on fighting a cold virus. Idiots in charge will lead to ruins.

    My grandparents and my parents were from Gloversville. My grandparents came to Gloversville as young adults after growing up on nearby farms. They came for a better life, they both worked in the glove industry. They met and married a few years later and by the early 1920's they owned their own home on S.Judson St., started a family and lived there 60 years till their passing. As a young boy in the mid. 60's I saw the decline even then. It was a 1 industry town, the owners milked the companies....money left the area. My grandparents were cheated out of their "company pension", that was promised and not delivered on. They worked well into their mid 70's.
    I'm glad they weren't alive to see the First Baptist Church being torn down 10 years ago. They were married there. I drive through once a year to tend graves and drive by the house on South Judson. Sad

      Man, I grew up in Gloversville and left in the early 2000s the second I could enlist in the Army. It has its nice spots but if you aren't old wealth or coming in from the outside with wealth you aren't building yourself up in that region. The economy is trashed, all but the best housing is crumbling and the crime is out of control. I'm happy I left and never turned back.

    I was raised there and left at 17 when we came back out to CA. Lots of family and friends live there. I will not downgrade Gloversville. Good people I grew up with live there. I'm going to visit there this summer. Pharmaceutical companies are evil and got people hooked on narcotics - nationwide. Get tougher at our borders and stop the demand for drugs, and we won't such a hideous influx of drugs. People need jobs and timely rehab. Being a drug addled sloth needs to stay a crime. Once we outsourced leather products and industry to other countries this city's economy was crippled decades ago. Sad. Buy American made products when you can.

    My grandma and grandpa Kobuskie lived their lives in Gloversville. Their former home is at 11:33. My great aunt's house is across with the Trump Flag, and I'm sure she's turning over in her grave over that. I lived with my grandparents at 13 Wilson Street in the early 1970's, and the house was beautiful then. Their lawn ended right at the parking lot of Risendorf mill and across the street was McKinley School where we played baseball. My brother and sisters and I along with our children visited a few years back, and it was tough to see what Gloversville had become. I understand the state of New York is investing into this community. I wish Gloversville a prosperous future.

    Well, it seems you found most of the gut of my hometown. This place was the thriving leather and glove making capitol of the country. Of course, when osha and encon came in the 70's and 80s, the jig was up. By that time big money had already raped the resources of the area. Once they took their fortunes down below our southern border. Then any good labor had to go else ware to find meaningful employment. They left their toxic waste abandoned factories to collapse and be scarfed up by the city in order to gain brownfield funding. Of course, they don't do anything meaningful with the money. Just fence them off for new places to park their trucks. The housing is mostly over 100 years old, and the properties were measured off before cars were even around, so many properties do not have adequate off street parking available for todays needs. I'd say a good third of the housing should be bulldozed and buried in a sealed landfill to contain the lead, asbestos, and other toxins used in their construction. Then properties should be re-surveyed with the room needed for modern housing. I keep thinking, maybe this year we will hit rock bottom and start coming back up, but every year I'm amazed that we've only sunk even deeper.
