There’s important news happening all over this country and the world, but not on this site. Here, allow me to dwell once again on what had become my favorite Albany pothole.
If you’re homeless and living in your car, where in Albany can you park? Not in the city’s so-called “Central Albany Parking Area,” which is near two homeless shelters and should be called the no-parking area instead.
Mayor Alex Johnson II provided the deciding vote Wednesday in favor of an Albany ordinance authorizing the city to collect a monthly fee for street maintenance and repairs.
While the Albany City Council considers a new street maintenance fee, a council majority also wants to explore a local fuel tax and a bond issue to fund street repairs.
As everybody knows, Friday was Flag Day. And as luck would have it, during the week of Flag Day the Albany City Council avoided a flap over flags.
The Talking Water Gardens between Albany and Millersburg look a little odd this spring. There’s less water in the ponds.
