I love Saratoga Springs, whether it's a day at the races, a concert at the Saratoga Performing Arts Center or a night on the town along Broadway and Caroline Street. Off the highway I traveled Route 50 to Saratoga County. I've driven the Northway dozens of times and didn't want to be part of any morning commute, if I could help it. I had spoken with Rev. Anthony Diacetis, pastor of Our Lady of Grace Church in Ballston Lake, while planning my trip. He suggested a few places to visit and told me how much he loves being in his parish.
Saratoga County is a wonderful place to live.
I stopped by St. Peter's Church on Broadway to visit with Rev. Robert LeFevre, pastor. He bought me breakfast at Shirley's Restaurant, a popular local hangout. The National Museum of Dance was one of the places in Saratoga Springs he suggested I visit, and he gave me a guest pass. It recently reopened to the public after an expansion and renovation project. I've been known to play the ponies once in a while, so I wanted to see what the new place had to offer.
