Is the Corning Tower trying to tell us something?

Yeah, well, you're... you're... you're a pale imitation of Brasilia! Yeah, take that!

TJ sent us this picture yesterday with the message:

"I saw this outside my house tonight, and i could swear that the Corning Tower was giving me the middle finger. I'm sure its just my crazy eyes and a strange coincidence, but the image made me laugh."

(Thanks!)

Who says Erastus is really dead!

It is well know that Mayor Corning (Senator Corning's granddad) had a file in his office labled: Brasilia, in which he put all of the material related to the building of the south mall...

You guys know that when we turn out the lights at night, we make special arrangements for little messages to Albany nightlife. How else can we say anything? :) :) :) Funny stuff! I do wonder what our staff does after hours now!

Counting the Alfred E. Smith building, that makes two of Albany's government buildings flipping us the bird.

@Brock: When I was a child I thought the AE Smith Bldg looked like a rocket ship. :)

@Summer: I still do!

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.
