Downtown Albany, NY

Downtown Albany is the Central Business District in the City of Albany. Or as the Downtown Albany Bid describes it …

“Exciting Entertainment. World-Class Dining. Exquisite Art and Culture. Urban Residential. Whether you work or live in New York’s Capital District or are lucky enough to make a visit, downtown Albany offers the unique opportunity to explore a city rich in history, framed by nearby mountains and over 400 years in architecture.”

There are a lot of jobs downtown, and decent public transit. You have to go there on the weekdays to make a buck or two.

Why were planning board members escorted by armed police?

Honestly, I think they're a bunch of cowards and revenue hungry crackheads trying to get more tax revenue by developing the Pine Bush so they can create more patronage jobs for their high school drop out in laws. But what do I know. I think we were pretty civil - we have the right to protest and chant and hold up signs, elected officials shouldn't hide from the public.

John Pruyn Library Petition

|

For about the past six months, I’ve been going to over to Albany Historian and activist John Wolcott’s house a few hours a week to go through his papers.

This 1965 letter/petition in opposition to the tearing down to John Pryun Library is fascinating — there were a dozen pages of signatures that go along with it.
