A perspective from Oregon’s mid-Willamette Valley

Two years later: A look at completed site

Written March 26th, 2023 by Hasso Hering

The bike occasionally takes me past the 1100 block on Sixth Avenue across from Hackleman Park in central Albany. Last week I noticed how the area has been spruced up with the completion of this building’s conversion to an apartment house.


Skip the news and watch a train go by

Guess what: It’s time to watch another Portland & Western freight train make its way, slowly, past the Sixth Avenue crossing in Albany.


Just wondering — why no crossing arms

  On a leisurely bike ride through old Albany the other day, I noticed something that wasn’t there. Where the Portland & Western Railroad crosses Sixth Avenue, there are no warning lights, bells or arms that come down when a train comes through.

This is not news, but for the first time Sunday I noticed how Albany’s new Fire Station 11 has changed the view down Sixth Avenue.
