I will say after several visits to the area, some areas are really looking up. The parks on ether side of the Mohawk are awesome and should be appreciated and enjoyed. If some of these homes can in-fact be rebuild, fixed, cleaned up, it will go a long ways to making Amsterdam a fine city to visit.

One of the addresses is the home we lived in A LONG time ago.
