Solvay Stories

By Skye Rohde

Solvay, NY – The village of Solvay is its own small world, defined by its industrial past but often dwarfed by its neighbor, Syracuse. A new collection of stories about the village, compiled by Solvay native Judith LaManna Rivette, is now in its second printing. WRVO's Skye Rohde spoke with Rivette and some of the book's contributors and created this sound portrait.

WRVO is now well into its second year without federal funding. Through it all, our mission has stayed the same: serving central and upstate New York with trusted journalism, vital local coverage, and the diverse programming that informs and connects our communities. Listeners like you are what keep journalists on the ground, asking the hard questions that matter to our region.

Stand with public media and make your gift today. You'll be supporting more than yourself. You'll be supporting everyone who depends on WRVO as a trusted resource and civic cornerstone in central and upstate New York.
