I smiled when you said some people in the Delaware Ave area are "immigrants to Albany", you from Poughkeepsie.

Main branch of my family were immigrants to Albany in the early 20's to lower Second Ave, from Watervliet (via Ireland) and from Newburgh (via Germany). The move up the hill to Whitehall Rd in the mid/late 20's was to farm country and brand new houses.

I grew up in Guilderland and immigrated back in the 90's.  Love living in a city, enjoy having interesting places and people so close by.  And I agree with you that the City School district gets an unfair bad rap.
