Block party, Spring fest in Cohoes today
spam deleted. Thanks!
'here's to your health!'
Can catch me selling my wares on corner. Remsen and Columbia sts. Artzstuf, company, Ann Reilly, artist, vendor. Was in front of Langley's, a mechanic not in operation so didn't pay fee. Only made $18 after expenses so wasn't paying owner of Spindles, who ran show, $30. He shook me down for money but didn't give in. He said was part of event.
He says how I can't just be there, how other vendors paid. The difference between them and me is I am poor, have no car, help, shlep over alone. Live 2 doors down. On my St. Many do what did when event. He Said next time they not going to let me be in it and why didn't I stand in front of my building. Made nothing last time is why. Money made towards my accupuncture costs as not covered by insurance. Joint problems, on disability. He begrudged me little made.
Mean time he's making good money off his noisy bar. I have to tolerate him, it, noisy music and his rowdy drunken patrons coming home all hours. Drop glasses and beer bottles on ground outside too. Ugh. Cuts both ways babe.

Don from Spindles on Remsen didn't bring fests to town as already here. Just promoting self and bar. Shame on you you little punk. Uses little power has as with town council to pad his pockets and push his weight around. So typical of these small towns like Cohoes. Nepotism and help own, insular. Poor get poorer. Nothing changes as not about helping town at all but selfish selves. Shame on you!
