New York State has been “on pause” for two weeks now, and Governor Andrew Cuomo today has extended his Stay Home order, originally set to expire April 15, to April 29. Schools are closed. The shops, restaurants and bars in Lake George Village are also closed with only a handful offering take-out meals.
Temperatures reached 62 degrees, and the sun was shining this Monday afternoon. People were out to enjoy the spring weather, many walking dogs along the streets and through the parks. The Village Street Department employees posted signs throughout town to remind everyone that “6 feet will keep you safe.” Most seem to be following this directive.
