Thank you to all that replied back.


Kimred there is no need to be jealous, Saratoga is not the way you left it. Real estate has doubled and along with it property taxes have gone up.There is alot of building and with it more traffic. It's no longer the pristine, quaint little village it used to be. National stores are opening up on Broadway with condos above them, and the locally owned stores are moving out due to the inability to afford the rising rents.They have put condominiums in Franklin Square across from the old Price Chopper. The plan is to do away with HI Roc Bowling and put condos there. A 6 million dollar mansion has gone up on N. Broadway, and the Ayco Co. chairman is building a 61,402 square foot mansion off Meadowbrook, (the road that runs out from Union Ave. by the lake) and building continues. Beekman St. now has bistros and art galleries. Its not all bad I'm just worried about it not being able to hold on to the charm which made people want to come here in the first place. Oh I did that Saratoga Lake ride also and it was great, also Fitch Road with the horse farm is incredibly scenic. I can't wait until next spring to get some more of these beautiful rides in. Dreaming until then.
