I've referred to our town as something directly copied from a Norman Rockwell SAturday Evening Post cover.
And it is! Our main thoroughfare, Mohawk Avenue, is shopping the old fashioned way--harking back to a day when you knew every merchant and you shopped a half-dozen stores on any given Saturday. Now I'm all for convenience, but it is a pleasure to deal with knowledgeable merchants rather than flustered department store clerks.
Above left, the Scotia Fire Department occupies the front of the Town Hall/Town Clerk/POlice Department building on Ten Broeck Street and Mohawk Avenue. The Village Paint Store is right alongside.

Mohawk Avenue looking west from the sidewalk in front of
Golden Dragon Chinese Restaurant. Left, far. The biggest
office building in Scotia! Near left, the Methodist
Church on Mohawk Avenue. Below right, a snowy residential
street. Kids ride their sleds here, but most often it's
the hill in Collins Park that reigns supreme in local
snow legend.
The
Trustco Bank building. Come on, you just know you're
going to get personal service in our local branch!
