Delmar is a hamlet in the Town of Bethlehem, in Albany County, New York, United States. It is a suburb of the neighboring city of Albany. The community is bisected by NY Route 443 (Delaware Avenue), a major thoroughfare, main street, and route to Albany.
A census-designated place (CDP) has been established since 1980 by the U.S. Census Bureau for tabulating the population of what the census has defined as the boundaries of the urbanized area in and around Delmar. The population was 8,292 at the 2000 census, but it was not included as a CDP in the 2010 census.
In 2005, CNN/Money Magazine named the Delmar ZIP Code (an area larger than the Delmar hamlet or CDP) as one of the “Best Places to Live” in America, rating it the 22nd best place to live among what it called “Great American Towns.
As we head into the 9 o’clock hour we are at 52 degrees with drizzle coming down. Kind of a dark and depressing day.
What if you knew her and found her dead on the ground? Forty six years ago today was the Kent State Shootings. A divisive moment in American history, Kent State would not publicly acknowledge the murder of four college students by National Guardsmen for nearly three decades after the shootings. The college washed the blood off the asphalt but did not put up a plaque or marker acknowledging the incident until the 1990s, long after the local political leaders at the time were long dead.
I am working on putting together a blog renovation, which is part of the reason I haven’t posted any new maps for a while now. The roll out is mostly ready to be implemented but I have a little more code to implement and test. I have a lot of data ready to map and will hopefully start uploading new maps either later in the week or next weekend.
Through the weekend we look to be stuck in this cold and rainy pattern with clouds prevailing through Sunday. The best chance for lots of sun is next Monday and particularly nice weather next Tuesday with a high around 72.
You can’t control the weather but you can control your attitude towards it. Happy Wednesday. Bring your umbrella to work today. Rain showers throughout the day, currently 51 degrees. Only looking at a high around 55 degrees with the clouds and rain keeping temperatures down.
Heading into the 11 o’clock hour we are at 51 degrees under cloudy skies. We had a rain shower a while back. A low tonight around 47. Continued cool and cloudy tomorrow with a high around 58. Rain showers throughout the day with the best chance of rain in the afternoon.
It’s May 3rd and increasingly greening up in the city. In a few weeks green will take over the landscape. Spring will arrive with the damp and somewhat rainy conditions helping to jump start the process. Gray with a high around 60 today.
Today in 1973, The 108-story Sears Tower in Chicago is topped out at 1,451 feet as the world’s tallest building.
Happy Birthday to James Brown, Frankie Valli of the Four Seasons, Pete Staples of the Troggs. I guess it’s a big birthday party for those who like listening to the oldies station.
I am still recovering from vacation. It is really hard to get back into the groove after a nice vacation. That stylus really kicks you in the can.
I don’t have any real plans for the weekend but I am monitoring the weather situation. I really have things that need to get done in the city, so I’ll probably just stay in town.
Good morning. 47 degrees and cloudy this morning. 60 degrees with a chance of showers this morning especially as you head south of Albany. Otherwise mostly cloudy. Sunset at 7:58 pm in Albany. Have a great day!
Kind of a gray and cool start to the work week. Currently 46 degrees and cloudy but rain is expected midday. The bus has departed the station and we are on the way downtown. My priority this morning is updating my time sheet, because I was told if I don’t do it they’ll suspend my direct deposit. Plus all the other stuff I missed when I was off from work.
Later today there is an increasing chance of rain with a high around 56. That’s nine degrees below average for this time of year. Being back east in the state, the sun will be setting around 7:57 pm.
Going to help Reszin stuff newsletters after work today. Then I will head home and probably work on developing some new content for the blog. I am still working on implementing the new design and I need some new maps for the blog. Might go to the library, depending if it’s raining or not.
Traffic is moving slowly on the 787 heading downtown. I’m fine with that as I’m in no rush to get to work and gives me more time to blog. I hate the evening rush more and being delayed on the way home.
Four weeks from now will be Memorial Day. How fast it will be upon us. I don’t really have plans for it at this point. It can be either quite nice or cold and rainy.
