This pier overlooking the Willamette seems like a good platform for a few words on Christmas Eve.
Here you find me on one of the Willamette River piers in Albany, where I stopped for a few remarks on my afternoon bike ride on Christmas Eve:
As I said, Merry Christmas! And thanks for hanging out with me on this website from time to time.
I expect to return with the regular mix of content once we’ve all managed to get through the Christmas festivities in one piece. (hh)
Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas to you, Hasso!
Merry Christmas
Thank you for being our eyes and publishing Albany news. Enjoy the holidays, see you next year!
Merry Christmas to you and thank you for the continued interesting and informative articles you publish for us all to read and enjoy.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!
Hats off to you Hasso! I’m sure I’m not the only one that looks forward to your blog. I read your blog way more than I read the newspaper, and I feel more informed than if I did. Wishing you a happy New Year and a Merry Christmas
Thank you Hasso for all you do to keep us up to date on Albany’s coming, going and all the in between happenings. Merry Christmas to you and yours and a Happy New Year!
MERRY CHRISTMAS and a HAPPY NEW YEAR to you and Kathy .
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you Hasso, I really enjoy your posts, I learn things I wouldn’t otherwise, Thankyou Larry H
Merry Christmas, Hasso. Looking forward to another year of your informative insights.
Merry Christmas Hasso!
Thank you for keeping us informed….I really do appreciate what you do.
You definitely do a much better job with local information than any newspaper
in the area.
Again, Thank You
Joanne,
I agree with you about how Hasso is such a great source of information and local news. However I would like to put in a plug for the Brownsville Times which is published weekly. While in a local business a few weeks ago I picked up a copy to read and enjoyed it so much I immediately went on line and subscribed. It’s like small town newspapers I remember as a kid. All local news and very well written. Check it out if you get a chance.
Happy holidays! Hope this next year will be a good one for everyone.
Merry Christmas Hasso and a Happy New Year! Thanks for being the eyes and ears if what is going on.
I caught it that you wore a red jacket for your Christmas eve blog video!! Good move!!
THANKS FOR YOUR POSTS…I NEED THEM NOW,,SINCE THE A.D.H. TRIED TO RAISE THEIR RATES TO $ 600 / YEAR…..OH MY…WELL THEY TRIED..DIDN’T HAPPEN…..HAPPY NEW YEAR…PAPERLESS IN ALBANY..
Wishing you a very Merry Christmas Hasso… I truly appreciate your blog, and look forward to seeing what’s the news of the day!
I hope 2026 brings you joy and happiness!
Merry Christmas and all b the best in 2026. Thanks for keeping us informed and for your love of Albany.

Merry Christmas, Mr. Hering. Looking forward to seeing you riding around town in ’26.
Hasso, thank you for your bike forays throughout our town. You ask good questions and you do good research into interesting happenings in our village. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. I look forward to more of your discoveries.
Hasso, happy Boxing Day, and hope you had a terrific Christmas. I appreciate all of your reporting, and your video was a nice reminder of how pretty the scenery is around here. Best wishes for a terrific 2026!
Since the DH has decided to regurgitate news that you can find anywhere on TV, and on the web, etc. I have come to rely on the HH local news. Thank you so much for providing this relevant information. Happy New Year!
