We need to learn..from how other towns and businesses do things to grow

spam deleted. Thanks! 'here's to your health!' I enjoy watching CNBC network and shows like The: Deed, Partner, Profit and Cleveland Hustles. Being an entrepreneur, I appreciate this small biz spirit and am trying to learn how they can help me. Cleveland is alot like other cities in trouble due to the economy, downsizing, outsourcing and foreclosures and the social ills that go along with it like crime, alcoholism, drug addiction, homelessness and mental illness. Detroit, Newark, New Orleans also come to mind. Some see opportunity where others see failure. The same can be said for Cohoes. What can we do to revitalize this town? How can we get everyone to care about where live, even if don't own but rent? As have said before, everyone here needs to be considered and not just those fortunate enough to have good jobs, successful, profitable businesses,supports such as good friends and close-knit ties like family and not just a select few? How do we encourage people to get involved in bettering Cohoes? How do we get public officials to care about the constituents they are supposed to serve and not just look at their positions as jobs? Is common for politicians to support the interests of those who got them elected. Often their campaigns are supported by the wealthy, comfortable with some pull and not the little guy. However the poor are a very real part of the land scape of many a small struggling community like Cohoes. Helping all is what we mean by community. Instead of the usual bitcch session of complaints, I am offering answers here. Let's see what other towns are doing to help their communities and learn from them to help our own. One way to grow is to support small, new businesses and future entrepreneurs as well. Training young people to learn a trade is vital. Creating an incubator and pilot program here for the city so can change for the better is a real possibility and necessity here. As Harry Milk said "You got to give them hope". Hope is what is needed here in Cohoes to see it great again or at least better. Yeh, I'll take better!

No spam. Thanks! gonna price and maybe buy a new tv as one friend sold me is a Sony and in permanent sleep mode. Need a remote that came with it that she didn't give me, to get it working again. She wants me to pay her for it and try to sell it as is when couldn't sell large old one left at od pace and was working! Don't think so. Do you think I should pay for a tv that konked out after a week? Missing my shows and premieres are coming like for the show the killing and madmen,my favs.Real housewives video. Yes they are over the top. what you think? Porscha getting divorced from Kordell from real housewives of atlanta. She's divorced so not a wife anymore so will she leave show? Many leaving on the beverly hills one after adrienne's exit. Another divorcee.

JT Winner of Survivor played up spat with pal Stephen..

He was a nice guy and deserved to win the million. He won the most challenges too. Don't feel badly for Stephen as he gets $100,000 for being the runner up. Not bad!

So..did you catch Jillian last night on the 'Bachelorette'? She had to choose out of 30 men who got the rose. One was nicer looking and more successful then the next and they all seemed gaga over her. Some sem to be out for their 15 minutes of fame though. Oh well. Humane nature right?! Glad her like Melissa was thown a bone after boner Jason from the 'bachelor' dumped and humiliated them on national tv after sleepiing with them,ugh, what a heel. Would have thought he would have learned something after being treated so shabbily by Deana but no..he did the same thing! tsk tsk. and now..'Big Brother' returns with a house full of jerks. Oh goodie! I can hardly wait to zone out and watch this one. lol..not.
