Andy, you must not value your credibility. This concerns me because we work together on some issues. Please check your facts before commenting.

"Central Avenue, the once retail center of our great city..."

Central Avenue was never Albany's retail center.
It was the inevitable expansion of the true retail center of Albany which was downtown along Pearl St.

There were many areas of commerce throughout Albany's neighborhoods though. Lark St. had it's grocery stores as did N. Swan St, the South End, Delaware Ave. ...

"...there is only one road out of the city at 5 PM.

Had you said that their was only one road out of Albany that was convenient for you to travel home on on your bicycle, your statement would have been accurate.

Rt.32; RT.9W; Rt.85; Rt.20; Rt.5, Washington Avenue, all provide escape.

Unless there is a total collapse of our society, Albany will always thrive due to its captive economy which is generated by being the state's capitol. But how long its taxpayers suffer will be determined by how long they decide to keep Jennings crooked crew in power.
