Albany is a perfectly family-oriented town. It has the finest schools. It has a small town feel with Berkeley influence.

What does the Fourth of July mean to you?

For us, it is a great day. Family and friends get together. It is also a historic event in the U.S. I am just going to relax in the park today.

What do you want to change about Albany if you could?

I think Albany has pretty much everything my family needs. Residents are very committed to the community. No complaints about Albany.
