  3. Hype for the Future 190T: City of Albany, Missouri

    Overview The City of Albany is a community located within Gentry County, Missouri, and serves as the county seat accessible primarily from the corridors of Routes 136 and 85. Today, the small city is notable for the local Poppa’s Family Restaurant, with surrounding rural areas largely residential and agricultural. Nearby communities include Stanberry, at the Route 169 junction, to the west; and Grant City, at the junction of Routes 46 and 169, to the north.

  4. Went for an evening walk in my dodgy childhood neighbourhood.

    Ute roars round the corner. Male arm hanging out window. Oh here we go, I think. As a petite Eurasian woman I've had my share of car heckling, wolf whistling and street harassment, which still happens in my 40s.

    He leans out. The car is decked with tinsel. "MERRY CHRISTMAS!" he shouts. I wave to his rear view mirror.

  5. So my Mum's obsessed with TV game shows and ooh you bet I got mad when the host mispronounced Albany

    (Edit: it was that bloody Tipping Point show)

  6. #AlbanyNY served up about 47 #historicalmarkers in 1886 to celebrate the city charter's bicentennial. Shocking/not shocking that only one never made it to its intended destination – the one honoring Black citizens.

    The full story is here:

  8. For three years, I've been running down the stories behind a series of bronze tablets the city of #Albany NY created in 1886 for the bicentennial of its 1686 city charter. I finally got to the last one, No. 47, showing the site of the old state Capitol building.

  9. Albany Bicentennial Tablet 46 – a #marker honoring "Jewish Congregations," which I suppose was originally placed on this structure when it was Temple Beth Emeth. Haven't found the marker, but I did try to give a capsule history of the major #Jewish congregations in #Albany, including Albany's role in reform Judaism as the home of Rabbi Isaac Wise.

  10. We're in the bonus round – the #Albany Bicentennial Markers that somehow were not recorded by the Bicentennial Committee in 1886. This one marks Madison Avenue and makes note of one of its former names, but doesn't provide more than that. Hoxsie will at least tell you who Lydius was.

  11. I often write about the #LocalHistory of #AlbanyNY – I've been focused on telling the stories of a series of #markers put up during the city's charter #bicentennial.
    The latest entry tells some stories of one of #Albany's shortest streets, Norton Street, where #AaronBurr once practiced law.

  12. So apparently, Antonio Brown bought a football team, the Albany Empire of the National Arena League. Crap has hit the fan, as with all things Brown touches. Apparently, players haven't been paid. When asked why, the acting team president was quick to blame the payroll provider (does this sound familiar). The head coach has walked out due to not being paid, and police were called due to an incident on the bus.
