Not a whole lotta bloggin' going on this week - busy, busy, busy (If Elvis was still alive, I would pitch that to him for a song). But I was walking up Spring Street tonight and saw that 63 Spring Street, the new building going up next to the Bread Basket, is taking shape. According to this article in the Saratogian, it will be a mixed-use building and the owners, Anthony and Gloria Swiatek, will be living upstairs. Anthony Swiatek is a "Professional Numismatist", which according to Wikipedia is someone who studies and collects currency, including coins, tokens, paper money, and related objects. No word yet on whether Mr. Swiatek will open a numismatics center coin collectors shop downstairs, but stay tuned. I used the ol' cellphone to give you a snapshot of the progress (Oooh another Elvis song!!!).
Mr. Swiatek is a great guy, as WayCool as they come. He helped me evaluate a coin collection and there wasn't a single penny or dime that he couldn't turn into a fascinating tale. His kindness and his credentials are OFF the CHARTS (another Elvis song?). He's one more piece that makes Saratoga so priceless... and beautiful!
