A listener sent me this photograph over a year ago.  I like to revisit it once in a while because it is so great.  I don't know the year, but I am sure locals can figure it out by some of the old businesses shown.  As you can see the downtown urban renewal project is well under way.

I have two thoughts whenever I see this picture: the first is what in heck did this look like when it rained hard?  What a mess!  And second.....how did any of the downtown businesses survive this disruption?

 Were you around Oneonta when this was going on?
