And now, for something a little different, join me on the bike for a short tour of Albany streets.
Riding around Albany on the bike, I’ve noticed what seems to me to be a growing trend: People parking on the wrong side of the street.
After a couple of days of rain, driving around the Albany area was a little tricky on Thursday evening. Flooded sections were not easy to spot in the wet and black December night.
Albany’s system of street mapping sometimes defies common sense, which explains why in a recent story I wrote a confusing description of the footbridge you see in the photo above.
A street light in west Albany got mentioned at the city council’s meeting on Oct. 8, not because it’s burned out but because it’s blue.
The pavement on Southeast Third Avenue between Main and Madison streets was one of the worst in that section of Albany, and the subject of occasional complaints.
Riding along and spotting a toxic weed
On a bike ride through Albany the other day, a bunch of bright yellow flowers on the side of the street caught my eye.
