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.

American Way

This of course is the Rapp Road Landfill with an American Flag in front of it. Some how the combination of the two makes you really think a little bit more.

Thruway Interchange 80s and 90s (1973 vs. 2018)

|

[nychistory id=”25380″]

During the late 1980s the Thruway Authority and DOT replaced the Northway and Thruway interchange that once was a cloverleaf to a windmill style interchange. You can compare the changes to the interchange with a comparison of the interchange in 1973 to how it looks today.
