From the riverfront beat, good news for Willamette River boaters who like to use the ramp at Bowman Park.


On the Willamette on a warm day

Written July 19th, 2015 by Hasso Hering

The level of the Willamette River is unusually low, as everyone knows, but it’s still a great place for getting out on the water on a warm Sunday afternoon.


On the riverfront: Site for sale

Written March 27th, 2015 by Hasso Hering

The riverfront is my beat, as I may have mentioned from time to time, and the other day I could not help but notice that plans for an “upper-scale” apartment complex near Bowman Park seem to have fallen through. The vacant property of nearly 6 acres at 595 Geary St. N.E. is for sale.


On the riverfront beat: Site cleared

Written May 8th, 2014 by Hasso Hering

The riverfront is my beat, and Wednesday I noticed activity on the former Permawood property on the east side of Geary Street across from Bowman Park. So, are the owners of that parcel going ahead with their long-standing plans for an apartment complex? Not yet, apparently.


Hey, this is NOT a dump!

This is not what you want to see from any of Albany’s riverside trails. But whether you want to or not, it’s what you had to look at the last few days on a vacant lot off the Willamette river trail from Simpson Park to Bowman Park.
