All Over Albany

What's up in the Neighborhood

Among the topics in this most recent spin around the Capital Region's online neighborhood: the indelible legacy of Titus Eddy, the origin of Tulip Fest, the shared story of two families on Jay Street, the judge who died in the cemetery, the college wiped out by a landslide, urban renewal, daycare, winter hiking, frazil ice, heckling, manly men and their cats, shopping habits, Delaware Supply, Franklin Alley Social Club, Zaitoon Kitchen, and deep dreams.

Suzanne told the story of the Titus Eddy Mansion in Troy. "Turns out, it's one of Troy's most important buildings, built for one of Troy's most important families. Their legacy is not only important to the local area, but like many things that have come out of Troy, was important to the entire country."
