A New Year! A New Look!

Hope you enjoy the new look of the Jordan, NY blog.

Snow everywhere! Snowmobiles everywhere! Kids sliding on the little hill on North Main Street in Jordan all the time. The "hill" is right next to what used to be the laundry mat then Pizza Sam's, now vacant. They slide safely into the canal bed away from automobile & snowmobile traffic. Every time I drive by there are a group of kids having a fun in the snow. Simple, inexpensive and safe fun for our kids.

The Canalway Trail (The former Erie Canal towpath that goes through the center of the Village)is always buzzing with snowmobiles.

If we have to have snow thankfully there are many that enjoy it.

In a couple of weeks The Great Eastern Whiteout event will come to Rolling Wheels Raceway in Elbridge. This event draws people from 11 neighboring states and 4 provinces in Canada. It is a wonderful event for families across Central New York to enjoy (Go by snowmobile or car) and it gives the local economy a nice boost. Check it out via a link from http://www.jordanny.com/ Go to Upcoming events.

In side the village limits I only remember 2. The old cemetery a the end of Quince Street and St. Patrick's off Hamilton street. Maple Grove just outside of town is another, but it was not inside the village limits, as I remember them back in the early 50's.

I can remember only 2 cemeteries that were inside the Village limits. The old cemetery at the end of Quince Street, and St. Patrick's off Hamilton Street. Maple Grove is also there but as I recall it was not actually inside the Village limits
when I lived there in the 40's and early 50's. There were a couple of other older cemeteries in the surrounding area, but again I do not think that they were actually inside the Village limits at the time I was living there.
