Why does this author love Little Falls?

Why does this author love Little Falls?
Little Falls holds a very special place in my heart. It’s the epitome of a community that has all the elements for a quality-of-life that people have come to realize is most important, post-COVID. As co-founder of Rock City Development, I feel privileged to help support the revitalization and continued growth that is becoming an example for communities like it. My wife, Lori, and I hope to plant seeds that will ultimately produce a beautiful “garden”, which we may never see, but will benefit many in the generations to come.

“One reason I love Little Falls is because it is walkable. Another reason? Because of the homemade pies at That Little Place on Main!

Why does this author love Little Falls?
I love Little Falls because of the tight knit community it is. I recently moved back after 25 years and am glad I did. I can’t wait for the virus to end so my kids can experience the life I had growing up here, with Canal Days and baseball games.

What does this author love about Little Falls?
I love the history and architecture of Little Falls. I love it so much, I chose to travel from New York City to be married at the Overlook Mansion. I remembered stories my grandmother had told me about sneaking up to the Overlook lawn as a teenager to get a close-up view of the mansion. I was so glad she got to be at my wedding.

Why does this author love Little Falls?
The reason I like being in Little Falls is because we really are centrally located. Five minutes to the New York State Thruway is a definite plus for all my “Get In the Car” adventures. And the fact that we are less than half an hour from the Adirondacks with all its beautiful mountains, lakes and walking trails is magnificent. I also have a huge garden in Little Falls and love to grow all my own vegetables and herbs plus support our local farmers!

One thing I love about Little Falls:
Just one?! Besides the friendly and caring people and walkable community, I love the easy access to water, climbing, bike trails, hiking, and mountains. Nature makes me happy!
