SCHENECTADY – Residents of three low-income neighborhoods, where foods from corner stores and fast-food restaurants are more available than healthy foods, are bound for free transit to the Schenectady Greenmarket.
The nonprofit organization, which holds a farmers market Sundays outside City Hall, teamed with the Capital District Transportation Authority to launch a free pilot trolley service to residents in Hamilton Hill, Mont Pleasant and Eastern Avenue neighborhoods, starting May 16.
The service will run on an approximately 25-minute loop with 15 stops during the duration of the market, which runs from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. The trolley will operate from 9:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m.
Mysterious Man Disappears Into Schenectady Manhole
Picture yourself in an outdoor market when you notice a man a few feet away. One minute he is there, the next he is gone. Vanished like a magic trick. A few moments later, there he is! Reappearing out of nowhere. That is what happened on Sunday morning in Schenectady.
Times Union reports that people had been hanging out on Jay Street at the Schenectady Greenmarket when they heard the sound of what turned out to be a guy moving a manhole cover and then disappearing underground. David Kosineski, owner of True Juice Cafe, spoke to Times Union about the mystery.

The long-running dream of a grocery store in downtown Schenectady takes a step closer to reality Monday, with the public launch of the Electric City Food Co-op’s new virtual marketplace.
The online platform allows consumers to order food and goods from local growers and producers in a contactless setting. It is intended as a way to bring together a curated selection of products from across a geographically sprawling area.
Shoppers might find some of the items at the Schenectady Greenmarket or at certain retailers on any given week, but with the online platform, they can reserve what they want.
