Seneca Falls: It's A 'Wonderful' Town
Published by The Buffalo News on Sunday, November 16, 2008
When film director Frank Capra wandered into Seneca Falls in the winter of 1945 looking for a haircut, he found himself inspired by more than barber Tommy Bellissima’s scissors. It is the town’s claim that after seeing Seneca Falls, Capra modeled Bedford Falls, the setting of the Christmas classic “It’s a Wonderful Life,” after their little village. Read More

Notice to Village Residents:
Schedule Your Bulky Rubbish Pickup
BEFORE Placing Items at the Curb

Posted Thursday, May 1, 2008
To better serve our residents, we pick up bulky rubbish by appointment – all year long! Each resident is allowed two scheduled pickups per year. To arrange your pickup, simply call Village Hall. Please remember that some household items, such as televisions and computers are considered hazardous waste and cannot be picked-up. Ask Village staff if you have questions. Please remember that bulky rubbish should be placed at the curb NO MORE THAN 48 hours in advance. Placing items out too early is a code violation, and can result in a citation and/or a fine. Bulky rubbish consists of large household items that cannot be disposed of in regular weekly trash pick-ups. Hazardous waste cannot be accepted, such as computers, TVs, paint, chemicals, or oils. Up to 4 tires CAN be accepted, if they are kept separate from other debris. Construction or demolition debris IS NOT permitted.

Good News in Seneca Falls
My wife and I visited Seneca Falls a several years ago. We had a lovely time. We stayed in one of the local bed and breakfasts. While we there I took a number of pictures. I took one picture of a lovely church which is located on a body of water. It's such a beautiful church. It's interesting that the reason we visited Seneca Falls was becuase our house was going through some major renovation at the time. And we really felt like we needed to take a short retreat to Seneca Falls. We're so glad we did. We keep promising ourselves we will go back and visit you again.
