glabah Says: Supposedly, the Albany - Millersburg Talking Water Gardens is the first project of its kind in the USA: a combined private and public engineering effort to provide wastewater treatment for both municipal and local industry.Sewage treatment lagoons are not usually considered...
klarson Says: In the summer, there are free concerts every Thursday evening at Monteith Park. I think they start at 7 PM. Each week was something different: country, rock, cajun, Celtic to name a few musical styles. Many people come by earlier in the afternoon and reserve a spot on the...

The Depot Restaurant: Popular Location with Good Fish and Chips
glabah Says: Inside this little restaurant, which is not easy to get to but well worth the time taken to get here, you are first greeted with an antique teller window and mail slot from an early post office. The walls and ceilings are decorated with great gobs of other paraphernalia,...
AB Chinese Restaraunt: BEST-AB Chinese restaraunt (skip China Buffet)
agentk Says: AB Chinese Restaraunt is the place to go for fresh, inexpensive chinese food. The portions are huge, the food is great (did I mention fresh?), and the staff is small (it seems to be run by a family). When my family and I went to the Chinese Buffet (up the street), we had a...

Allann Brothers I-5 Beanery: Coffee and Sandwiches For Your I-5 Trip
birchy99 Says: This is a restaurant that is hidden away on the side of Interstate 5 on the South side of Albany. Allann Brothers distributes coffee and coffee products throughout the Willamette Valley. This is their headquarters and they have established a nice restaurant that serves...
klarson Says: Sidekicks is a nice little coffee shop near downtown Albany. I like the cozy feel of the place, and the coffee is good. They also have deli food and yummy desserts. In the summer, you can also eat outside on the patio area. I usually got a latte with hazelnut flavoring....
Red Robin: Big Expensive Hamburgers
klarson Says: Red Robin is one of those places where you can buy a good 'ol American hamburger, but for something like $8! You pay for the ambiance. It's a family restaurant with TV screens all over (even on the floor), coloring for the kids, and other forms of entertainment. Most dishes...
AB Chinese: Nice Chinese Lunch Spot
klarson Says: You can get a nice platter of Chinese food for about $5, plus your choice of hot and sour or egg drop soup. This is one of the places I regularly went to with a few other guys during lunch break. I probably liked the sweet and sour chicken the best.
klarson Says: Another of my lunch hangouts. Los Dos also has a nice lunch menu. Dishes are around $6. Food is very good! You get complimentary nacho chips and sauce also. A warning: the hot sauce is quite hot, and I usually found that by the time my meal came, my tongue was kind of...
Helpfulness
It was very hard to live in Albany with regards to nightlife. if you drive through the town at night, you will see most lights are out by 10 p.m. Live music is almost non-existant here (go to Corvallis). However, the Calapooia Brewing Co. (old town) does have some live acts (you can go to their website to check) and excellent beer, it closes by 12 pm, on the weekends as well. Also located in Old Town is a bar called JP's, which is frequented by locals and students from the community college. This place is notorious for being a pick-up joint--you will find many trolls at the bar. When a friend and I first went, I felt as if I was walking onto a movie set filming a late 70s/early 80s movie, starring Will Farrell ("Everyone was Kung-Fu Fighting" was being played). On the plus side, the drinks are strong and there are a few pool tables. Just don't *** off the bouncers. Up the street, at Bogey's Bar & Grill, you will find hip-hop music and a younger crowd. Father up, at Chaser's (my personal favorite), the weekends feature karaoke, where you will find a whole range of singers from the truly awful to the pretty good. The charm of Chaser's is, no one cares how good the singing is, it is really about having a good time. You might even be lucky enough to walk in during someone's Bachelor/bachelorette/birthday/anniversary party or when the local Roller Derby (still in uniform) comes to visit. People are always willing to share in their fun here.

Helpfulness
The Heritage Shopping Center is an enclosed mall with several department stores, like Sears, Ross Dress for Less, Emporium, and Target. It is not a real big mall, with only one floor. There are about 65 shops plus the usual food court.
What to buy: One specialty shop sells only calenders.
What to pay: Pretty normal prices.

glabah Says: There isn't much to this park beyond the typical city park environment. It has a picnic shelter, a small pond formed by the artificial dam of a creek that runs through the park, and scattered picnic tables with benches. There is a small playground and a small platform that...
Simpson Park and Trail and First Lake
glabah Says: While it is a relatively primitive waterfront trail, this 1.3 mile (2.2 km) trail along the Willamette River is reasonably peaceful most of the time. During much of the year it is not possible to see the Willamette River just on the other side of the dense trees, however.The...
klarson Says: Get out of the Willamette Valley (Willamette is the Indian word for 'death'). It's much more beautiful in the nearby mountains!There are some nice trails up by Santiam Pass on Hwy. 20. (Drive east on 20 out of Albany, through Lebanon and Sweet Home.) I did a day hike up to...

Albany is a pretty nice town but unfortunately it is cut into pieces by a few busy roads that make getting around somewhat difficult.
