When you have a few minutes, go visit the newly reconstructed east viewing pier on the Albany riverfront. It’s a beautiful piece of workmanship and a great vantage point for looking around.
As pieces of Albany’s Waterfront Project are slowly coming together, it’s tempting to get a closer look even though they aren’t officially finished or complete.
Let’s catch up with the loose ends left by the May 14 story about trimming the small trees and bushes on the Willamette riverbank in front of Linn County’s Wheelhouse Building.
About this time last year, an osprey got public attention by regularly having his fish lunch on top of the tallest lamp post in the middle of the Lyon Street Bridge. This year the bird is back.
It was Linn County that caused about two dozen bushes and small riverbank trees on the Willamette to be cut down last week.
A week ago, I was out of town when someone got my attention with an email message. This was on May 7, and I couldn’t do anything about it at the time.
Look what someone has already done
It didn’t take long for some moron to damage the new Willamette River overlook on the Albany riverfront.
