The cleanup launched by the city of Albany at an abandoned house overlooking Bowman Park continues, and it’s turning into a huge job. But the eventual fate of the property remains uncertain.
All those people milling about Albany Station for Railroad Day last weekend didn’t need a sign to know where they were. Good thing, too, because the station sign on the roof had evidently disappeared.
For years the U.S. Postal Service paid about $10,000 a month in rent on an empty Albany building for which it no longer had a use, but those days now are gone.
Something happened to the concept of the secret ballot. It is no longer guaranteed. “Really?” you ask? Well, that’s the way it looked to me when I got my Benton County ballot for the May 17 primary.
