Stories of old Saratoga

posted Jul 30, 2012 at 12:00 PM

William Kennedy will be at the Canfield Casino in Congress Park Wednesday evening talking about Saratoga's (first) heyday as a resort, gambling town, and gangster destination. The discussion will be moderated by Susan Arbetter. It starts at 7 pm and it's free (we'd show up a bit early to make sure you get a spot).

I wish his opponent ... had provided more detailed background in his candidate statement regarding his credentials beyond his family's love of he library and his professional work as an environmental scientist. However, there were no swastikas so I'm voting for the candidate without swastikas.
