Delmar, New York

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.

Happy Friday as the Weekend Approaches

|

It’s not been a bad week but just a long week. For most of the week I’ve been working from 9 AM to 11 PM all week and catching a few hours of sleep when I can. Pretty long dull days. But the weekend should be here and things should quiet down once summer gets underway.

I expect a quiet weekend this weekend as I plan to do some fishing and catching up at sleep hopefully not at the same time. I also want to get the spare tire mounted in the bed of my pickup so I can get out of town next weekend if all goes well. Might take a half day next week.

Next weekend if it’s nice I may get up to Piseco Powley Rd and check out the Potholers. I haven’t been up there yet this year but that’s the quintessential place to be in the balmy heat of summer. The following weekend is the Fourth of July weekend and I will probably head up to Moose River Plains.

Sunday starts summer….
