Bumper gawking

Albany, Schmalbany.

As is now very well established, we like to gawk at custom license plates.

And we know you do, too.

Here's a new bunch from around town...

And something a little different from Katelyn: "Just took this pic on State St. in Schenectady. I thought it was bizarre so I took a picture then thought you might appreciate it. Why would you be here with a PR plate??"

I'm sure I looked like an erratic driver, trying to get a shot of a license plate last week-ish on State Street/Route 5. Unfortunately, it was PhotoFail.

The plate? "NEWFTAXI." And had at least one large Newfoundland dog with its head dangling out the window.

I saw "mamasita" the other day.

My most recent favorite, seen on 787: WELL DUH.

Seen today on a Smart Car in West Sand Lake: SUVSKPOD, helpfully explained by a window sticker saying "SUV Escape Pod".

FZZYBUNS was spotted on River Street in Troy one time.

One of my neighbors has a plate that reads "LOL NOOB"

I saw this yesterday and I thought it was great-"5 XXS 1XY"

5 girls and one boy...and with all the lacrosse stickers on the back, I realized I knew the family too!!

It's only about a thousand dollars to ship a car from PR to the mainland US (Via Florida). Maybe it's a student in upstate New York, or someone who recently relocated from PR.

The Scoop

Albany tightened its rules for shoveling snowy sidewalks last winter -- so how'd that work out?

If winter ever gets its act together and drops more snow on us, there will be sidewalks to shovel. And shortly after that, Albany will... (more)
