  1. Always read the plaque. This #HistoricalMarker on the wall of a building at Broadway and the Embarcadero notes the former #BarbaryCoast wharf to which #PonyExpress mail was delivered to #SanFrancisco during the #GoldRush.

  10. 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.

  15. 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.

  19. An #historicalmarker notes the site of the Troy Sentinel #newspaper, which was the first to publish Clement Moore's poem, "'Twas The Night Before Christmas," 200 years ago!

    Since this was 26 years before the first U.S. Christmas card was printed in nearby #Albany, we are declaring that #TroyNY has more #ChristmasSpirit

    There's way more of this type of nonsense at my #LocalHistory website, hoxsie.org/

  24. 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.
