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.

Not a half bad walk ๐ถ down to the park and ride. Cloudy but mild. Things are starting to green a bit on medians ๐พ but it’s not summer yet. Some years spring has sprung at this point in the city but not this year. But with freezing temperatures becoming increasingly rare in the city its certain to happen at some point soon.
Taking a hybrid bus downtown today, which is nice because they have nice smooth stops ๐ฆ at the red lights along the Delmar bypass. Hybrids have a very good braking via magnetic force.

I am keeping an eye on the really long range ๐for the Easter Long Weekend and it doesn’t look great. I have Good Friday off. I’m not hung up on heading out of town for Easter ๐ weekend but I could decide to head up north on a Thursday night for the final and weekend of April and make my own long weekend trip depending on the weather.

I am off to work early this morning, as I expected to do a video shoot ๐ฅ but that got canceled. But I have a busy day ahead so I might as well get into the office ๐ข and git r dun. We keep inching towards the weekend. I have defensive driving on Monday which sucks but saves a lot of money ๐ต but sucks.
