Two historic tours are kicking off next week in Albany, the first is the Historic Cemetery Tour and the other is the Historic Homes Tour.
The cemetery tour is returning after a two-year hiatus and provides people with a chance to tromp around the grounds of a local graveyard and learn about key figures from the community. Put on by the Albany Regional Museum, the tour is meant to highlight noteworthy community members who are buried in local historic cemeteries. The cemetery in question rotates year-to-year and this one features Riverside Cemetery located at the west end of Seventh Avenue.
We thought it would be fun to take a trip back in time for this Weekly Web Wonder. We re taking a look at a show that used to air Sunday afternoons at 12:30PM on WVII, Channel 7. It starred legendary radio DJ of the time, Mighty John Marshall, hosting a dance show featuring teenagers from a local high school filmed dancing to rock music at the Bounty Tavern. I mean.can you think of a more winning combination? 80 s music, 80 s hairstyles and 80 s dance moves with The Bounty as the backdrop.yes please!
JStew: Man, this brings me all the way back to shoving cookies in my mouth on a Sunday afternoon. I used to love American Bandstand quite a bit, so I was into the idea of a local version. Granted I was too young to go myself, as I was only 11 or 12, but I d watch it just to see if I knew anyone from my neighborhood. but as we were watching it today, I definitely saw some people I knew, like local media legend Bob Potts!!! Hahahaha. You will absolutely enjoy this trip down memory lane.
Snake-pocalypse ? Florida plans ban on owning pythons, many other high-risk reptiles Jim Waymer, Florida Today

BREVARD COUNTY, Fla. – If wildlife officials get their way later this month, Florida will ban owning or breeding six types of pythons, the green anaconda and nine other high-risk reptiles.
Biologists say the scaly subjects of their prohibition wreak ecological mayhem by swallowing native birds, mammals as large as deer, and in the Burmese python s case, also spread a foreign parasite that chokes native pygmy rattlesnakes to death.
But serpent lovers and critics of the proposal say the move is nothing less than a state-orchestrated snake-pocalypse targeting their pets and businesses. They argue the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission lacks science to justify the ban, is biased against their trade, and has much bigger exotic fish and invasive species to fry than snakes kept by hobbyists.
Burmese pythons and the other 15 exotic species are a threat to Florida’s ecology, economy and human health and safety, the Florida Wildlife Commission says.
