Bulldozing the Albany Pine Bush 📍

They paved paradise and put up a parking lot,
With a pink hotel, a boutique,
And a swinging hot spot.
Don’t it always seem to go
That you don’t know what you’ve got till it’s gone?

They paved paradise and put up a parking lot.
They took all the trees and put them in a tree museum.
And they charged all the people
A dollar and a half just to see ’em.

Don’t it always seem to go
That you don’t know what you’ve got till it’s gone?
They paved paradise and put up a parking lot.

Dusk From The GAL

The closed GAL (Greater Albany Landfill) in the Albany Pine Bush at 385 feet above sea level is almost as high as some of the highest dunes in Pine Bush and with just a grass cover, makes for a good place to view the sunset, especially on Saturday evening when the landfill is closed.
