Little Falls

Little Falls is a charming little city. In a deep valley, the city is surrounded by rich agricultural lands farmed by generations of families with a deep connection to the land.

It has both the falls and the canal, the Erie Canalway bike trail that follows a deep cut in the side of a hill where the old railroad grade ran. Hints of the old industrial landscape dot the hillsides, mill buildings turned into apartments downtown. The Adirondacks are only twenty miles to the north.

I like small town America. I honestly wouldn’t mind living in the country not far from a city like this. The natural resources nearby are superb. But alas, what does one do for work? Plus it’s New York State with the high taxes, the burn ban and all the gun restrictions.
