Sidewalk
The best sentence in today's TU: "In Albany, the sidewalk ends on South Swan Street, where Robinson Square and the Plaza meet, and if you're walking there, upright, on two feet, you see no sign saying nay. Because there is no sign, there is no line, and people tread there every day." As it happens, the author of that sentence, Jimmy Vielkind, is leaving the paper to blog about the Capitol.
Say Something!
We'd really like you to take part in the conversation here at All Over Albany. But we do have a few rules here. Don't worry, they're easy. The first: be kind. The second: treat everyone else with the same respect you'd like to see in return. Cool? Great, post away. Comments are moderated so it might take a little while for your comment to show up. Thanks for being patient.

He'll be missed.

With the election a week away, two wars waging, an economic crisis... the front page story is on which mall is better? Poor Jimmy. I hope he has more fun at the Cap.

I think I speak for everyone who posts here when I say that there is only one Albany blog that matters. And it's this one. See, because we all post comments here. I don't know how else to explain this to you. See, this blog is the best. And we all post here because we're the best too. Why are you not understanding me? I'm really starting to lose my patience.

Love that you pointed out Jimmy's poetry in today's paper -- it brought quite the grin to my face as I read it riding on the Number 10 this a.m. I'm sorry to see Jimmy leaving the TU -- wishing him the best in his new digs.

Rob, you were the Albany Eye? Srsly? Wow, I'm at a loss for words. Except for "Love", "I" and "You".

Wow, thanks...you know, I still think all those Albany Eye thoughts, I just don't write them down.
