Being under water for a few days toward the end of December apparently did not damage the short “boardwalk” at the bottom of Albany’s Monteith Riverpark.
Back on the Albany riverfront, the news is about the same: High water in the parks, but no problems.
“How high’s the water, Momma?” Johnny Cash asked in 1959. And the answer was: “Five feet high and rising.”
The Albany riverfront gets a little more interesting every time the water level rises, as it is doing now because of recent rains.
It would not be winter if Bryant Park in Albany didn’t get flooded for at least a few days, sometimes for weeks.
