Lunchtime Street Food
by Bwana_Brown
After my early morning flight to Montreal, followed by the 3.5 hour drive to Albany, it was lunch time when I drove into the centre of the city for a look around before checking into my hotel. The delicious smells coming from this busy line of mobile vendors caught my attention as I was walking by the State Education building! They sell everything from pizzas, to burgers, sausages and various other delights! Unfortunately for me, my parking meter was running out and I had no more change, so I had to shoot and run!
Albany City Hall
by Ewingjr98
Resembling a church, Albany's City Hall is one of city's oldest buildings. It was constructed from 1881 to 1883 by architect Henry Hobson Richardson, one of the architects who created the state capitol building. The building is made of Rhode Island granite and features a 200-foot bell tower.
In front of City Hall is the statue of General Philip Schuyler, Commander of the Northern Department of the Continental Army in the early days of the American Revolution.
