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.

I also went down to "Normansville" on Memorial Day (for the first time) and I loved it! I can't believe I hadn't discovered that little gem before. We found a great sandy area for the puppy to practice swimming, and walked through the woods. I know it's no Adirondack park, but it's cool to have something in the Albany city limits that doesn't have a highway running parallel to it.
