Albany is the capital of the State of New York and the county seat of Albany County. Albany lies 136 miles (219 km) north of New York City, and slightly to the south of the juncture of the Mohawk and Hudson Rivers. The city's estimated 2006 population was 95,995

Albany's geographic situation as a "Crossroads City" (roughly equidistant between New York, Montreal, Buffalo and Boston) also makes it a convenient stop for nationally touring artists and acts. The Palace Theatre and The Egg provide mid-sized forums for music, theater and spoken word performances. The Times Union Center, previously the Knickerbocker Arena ("The Knick"), the Pepsi Arena, and now the Times Union Arena serves as the city's largest musical venue for nationally and internationally prominent bands, as well as trade shows, sporting events and other large-scale community gatherings. The New York State Museum is a major cultural draw in Albany, focusing on fine arts, natural history, and New York's economic, political and social histories.

Parts of Washington Park were originally the State Street Cemetary.  By the 1850's public opinion was shifting to support the expanding the much smaller parade ground into the urban planned park we have today, so the cemetary and other lots were purchased and existing graves moved to Albany Rural Cemetary in Menands.  (Should you ever visit Albany, Rural Cemetary is definitely worth a visit if you're into that type of thing-- it is full o...

I took a month off from work in Boston and decided to drive to Los Angeles on a whim. Not one hotel room, and only four proper showers all month!

Lots of walking.  We did go to a good Italian food resturant, but that is all that we got to do.

It was a nice day in Atlanta, so I had hope for good luck getting to Vermont.  I kept calling the Delta number to check on my baggage, and there never was really an update that helped me know where my bag was.  Laura got me to the airport around 4 and I got to my gate and actually got a seat on the flight I was booked onto, plus they were able to tell me that my baggage was booked on a Continental flight to Albany from Newark that would beat me there.
