Charlie’s At It Again! – Touhey proposes housing units in the Pine Bush
Charlie Touhey, whose proposed office complex at 300 Washington Ave. Ext. was voted down by the Common Council last summer, is proposing yet another development for his 12-acre site in the Pine Bush. There is a twist to this one, though.
Usually, developers never want the neighbors to know what they are doing. In all my years of working for Pine Bush preservation, not a single developer ever voluntarily notified the neighbors about a proposed project. This time was different.
Last summer, Mr. Touhey said that if he didn't get his office complex, he would build low-income housing. The residents of the Dunes housing development took that as a threat, as houses with significantly lower value would lower the value of their houses.

Rezsin Adams was generous and worked to make life for everyone better | The Altamont Enterprise
It is with great sadness that Save the Pine Bush announces the passing of one of its founders and long-time leader, Rezsin Adams.
Rezsin, born in Brooklyn on Feb. 13, 1927, died peacefully on Wednesday, Aug. 12, 2020, at the age of 93.
Rezsin met her husband, the late Dr. Theodore Adams, while attending college at the University of Rochester. After marrying in 1947, and receiving a master’s degree in physiology, Rezsin and her family moved to the city of Albany’s Center Square neighborhood in 1959.
Rezsin was a member of the activist community. Other than a few short jobs when she was younger, including running an art school in Buffalo and lobbying against nuclear power, Rezsin lived her life as the dedicated volunteer.

Protesters are gathering in Guilderland on Wednesday for a demonstration against construction for expanded retail locations near Crossgates Mall. Activists behind the protest are calling to “Stop the Pyramid Scheme,” a play on words implying negative intent behind the project, proposed by Pyramid Companies, which owns Crossgates.
