ALBANY – Five more people tested positive for COVID Albany County announced Saturday as it also promoted vaccine availability at eight regional vaccine clinics in an effort to stop the spread of the virus. Clinics are being held this week in Albany, Wynantskill and Melrose.
As of Saturday, 76 percent of the adults in Albany County had received at least one vaccine dose. Anyone age 12 or older is eligible for the vaccine.
Approximately 100 people gathered outside in Saturday afternoon's heat, determined to send a clear message to the greater community: Stop the violence.
Almost a century ago, parts of Albany were “redlined” as too risky for real estate investment. Why has economic inequality defined by race persisted for decades?

Another removal of Albany history hits the road By Don Rittner on December 6, 2013 at 2:07 PM

My first history/archeology project back in 1972 was relocating and preserving the Kings’s Highway, the first road between the Hudson and Mohawk Valleys that connected Albany (Fort Orange) to Skenectada (Schenectady). I took up the unfinished work of Schenectady City Historian William Efner who began this project back in the 1930s. Fortunately I was able to save a mile long section of the original sandy road when Mayor Corning purchased the first city Pine Bush Preserve back in the late 70s at my request.
