Census data is embargoed until tomorrow but here is the veteran story: https://t.co/WQGuGLamZg

I wrote two interesting articles today, one about Purple Heart veterans, for which I interviewed a Vietnam vet from Unadilla, and one about population changes here due to COVID. But in both cases, I only interviewed men. Unfortunately. I try for balance but doesn't always happen.

@SUNY_Oneonta students donated about 50,000 pounds of personal items to the community when they moved out. An estimated 400 people showed up to the @OtsegoReuse center Tues morn to browse and take stuff home. Story coming soon at https://t.co/Q0JGksKxfH

I was glad to watch @CityOneonta council approve funding for the Mill Race trail last night. This footpath will soon be a full-blown multiuse/bicycle trail in Neahwa Park connecting River Street to New Island.

Working on this article yesterday I learned downtown #Oneonta has about 60 buildings on the National Register of Historic Places. Glad people are paying attention to them: https://t.co/L5OCAlQ5di

Check out our @thedailystar webpage redesign, launched a few minutes ago. It looks improved to me, though not easier to find articles (so far). What do you think? https://t.co/Q0JGksKxfH
