After The Party

A couple of strings of green, white, and red paper lanterns hang near the Lake House in Washington Park...left over from Saturday's Italian-American Festival.

Madison and Grand

This plaque is mounted on the wall of the former St. Anthony's Roman Catholic Church at the corner of Madison Avenue and Grand Street. The church was once the center of Albany's Italian-American neighborhood. Closed for decades, the building is now home to Grand Street Community Arts. The painted clown at the left is part of their BoardedUp program.

Be sure to check them out on Facebook, too.
