We've got 10-15 vendors lined up everyday at west cpaital park, and the movie guys bring in a vendor from NJ? Disapointing. If Albany has a staffer in charge of contracting the film folks, put a clause in the contract that food and supplies gotta be local unless you can't find it here.

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.
