We spotted this yesterday outside Burkes Blue Collar on Congress St in Troy. Burkes is a self-described "working class bar" with "cheap booze, nasty staff, and pretty good food."
Who says Obama has a problem with blue collar voters?

As a person working in a "green" job and happening to currently live in Albany, I have to laugh at this post. The last thing I think of when I think of Albany is a "green" city LOL!!!

Between Blue Collar Bar and the Troy Pork Store, you've been all over my neighborhood this week. Whats got you all into the "Pottery District"?
By the way, it seems the Fagbug spends a lot of time here too.
Everyone loves good hotogs and cheap booze!
