Albany’s Circle Stack

It's a compact urban interchange as the highway engineers suggest although it's still enormous with the area within the circle totaling 10 acres. 

O Albany

β€œMisery, wretchedness, ennui and the devil β€” I’ve got to spend another evening in Albany. Of all the miserable, wretched, second-class, one-horse towns, this is the most miserable.”

~ H. H. Richardson, architect of Albany City Hall (as quoted in William Kennedy’s O Albany)
