What’s Up in the Neighborhood, February 19 2022

Before I start this week’s recap of blogs and photographs from my personal blogroll, I’d like to ask you all to do something special for a good friend of mine.

Former local news reporter and all-around good guy Ken Screven recently suffered a bad fall, and after time recuperating at a facility in Gloversville, he’s on his way to a rehabilitation center in Colonie. Ken’s always been there for us – reporting the news, providing insightful commentary and never tolerating idiocy or racism or demagoguery. His friends have set up this GoFundMe page to help defray his expenses in this rehabilitation center, and I wholeheartedly encourage you to donate whatever you can, every penny helps.

In other words, for all that Ken has done for us … maybe it’s time to give some of that support back to him, if we’re able. It would mean a lot to me if you could help out with whatever you can spare. Thanks.

Okay. Blogroll time.
