Winter is still hanging on, so we’ll be walking at the Great Northern Mall.

Date: Saturday, March 13, 8:00—11:00 AM or Sunday, March 14, 1:00—3:00 PM

Address: 4155 NY Rt. 31, Clay, NY 13041.

Use one of the entrances at the back of the mall near the Movie Theaters – either on the right of the Theaters or the Mall Office entrance to the left of the Movie Theaters. The Great Northern Mall opened on October 5, 1988 with 80 stores, a food court, and a 10-screen Regal Cinemas multiplex. As with many other malls in Central New York, Great Northern has lost some of its stores over the last several years but is working towards a come-back. Because there is only one level, walking around the inside 4 times, or as many as you want, will be easy to do. Stopping to shop and snack, of course, may hold you up a bit! If the sun deigns to shine and the temperature warms up, one can always make 3 circuits around the outside of the mall. Enter through the rear of the mall near the Movie Theaters on the right or the Mall Office entrances to the left of the Movie Theaters. We will be set up in the Food Court.

Directions:

From the North or South, take Rt. 481 to Exit 12. If from the North, turn left onto Rt. 31 / if from the South, turn right onto Rt. 31, then left into the mall entrance where you see the Regal Cinemas 10 sign. Go to the rear of the mall near the Movie Theaters and enter using either the entrance on the right of the Theaters or the Mall Office entrance to the left of the Theaters.

From the East or West, follow Rt. 31 to the Regal Cinemas 10 sign to enter the mall and proceed to the rear where the entrances near the Theaters are located as stated above.

Join us again in June for another Virtual Folksmarch! On the specified days (i.e. June 13 or 14) or any day that’s convenient, you go for a walk at a location of your choice. It could be in your neighborhood or a favorite spot that you drive to, while practicing social distancing and being careful to avoid contact with anyone. You could even choose to walk on your home treadmill. Once completed, provide some information like your name, where you walked, the distance, and hopefully a photo or two. Better yet, post on our social media sites and use the hashtags #covid19 #cnyfolksmarch #virtualwalk2020

We look forward to getting back to our regular walks and finding some new exciting locations, but until then….this is a great way to keep going with a positive outlook and a way for us all to keep connected during these uncertain, difficult, isolating times. Please submit by June 20th to cnyfolksmarch@gmail.com your walk write-up and photos. The June Footnotes provides additional details about this month’s walk and more.
