Baldwinsville, New York

Another quaint Central New York town, this one built along a river. The river splits at one point which has made way for a couple of interesting bridges. The town center is small with very narrow sidewalks but it's scale gives it a degree of intimacy that makes it very appealing.

Skaneateles, New York

We just spent a very sunny, hot and humid July 4th weekend in Central New York. There are so many beautiful towns hidden in the New York countryside, but I am posting photos of just a couple. This quaint lakeside town of Skaneateles boasts some beautiful streets. The main street runs along the lake edge and is fronted by park in some locations and retail in others. Although the town's population is only 2600, the feel of the built form and retail district is quite urban.
