Walkabout With Wheels Blog: Walking Around the Bellevue Neighborhood in Schenectady, New York

Daily walks in Jerry's neighborhood have led to boredom.... Today, I am walking in the Bellevue neighborhood of Schenectady.

Schenectady was founded in 1661 by the Dutch. The Stockade, located in downtown is the oldest section of the city.

Bellevue is one of Schenectady's

newer neighborhoods.

Dom Gallo Florist is
Eric's favorite place
to go for flowers.

This former church will be

torn down & replaced with

I think the new Stewart's

will replace this one with

just one gas pump.

The sidewalk rises up

to meet me.

While looking at the businesses and homes I pass, I stumble three times in five minutes. I think I'll return from this walk with scrapped knees.

A jogger runs past me

on my early morning

walk.

I want to spend time looking up at my surroundings, not down at the sidewalk.

This house has solar panels

& the porch is under

renovation.

The sidewalk heaves at the edges. Maybe, if I step on every crack in the sidewalk,

I won't stumble.

campaign signs.

I like this house with

bunting in the

windows.

I've been stepping on every crack and breaking my mother's back. It's a lumpy walk, but haven't stumbled once since I started purposely walking on the edges of pavement that heave and buckle.
