Does anyone know of an independent company out there, as I have tried the 'big boys' and all they have is 12 passenger.

Hi,

I just found this forum.

I am traveling to Albany tomorrow actually and was wondering if anyone can recommend some activities an 11 yr old might enjoy, and what about some kid friendly restaurants in the area? Someone recomended the Pump Station to me, but is it kid friendly?

And the one major question, what's the price of gas running down there? Up here in Lockport NY it's dropped to $2.97 that's down from $3.05 two weeks ago.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Having been a native of New York CITY, but not living there for many years, I am very hesitant to move to New York STATE but my husband may accept a position in Albany. We wouldn't want to live in Albany but in an outlying suburb. If anyone as any advice or links for kid-friendly areas to live, I would appreciate it. We have to make a decision soon!

Thanks,
Patricia

Hi all, i would be having a layover in Albany for about 2 hours and was wondering what was there to see within walking distance of the Amtrak train station?

Thanks in advance...

Former Albany resident (back in 60s) returning from Florida for a quick few days with relatives. Would like to check a few historic sites; appreciate recommendations for which of the historical homes are the best, and what's available for Hudson River waterfront scenery or excursion boat trips. Tnx.
