Albany Little Leaguers Parade in Spite of Weather Christopher R. Jackson March 25, 2012 Despite a steady rain, the Albany Little League held its annual beginning-of-the-season parade yesterday morning down Solano Avenue and on to their University Village playing fields home, proving once again that you can’t keep these plucky kids down. At least not two years in a row. Last year’s parade was cancelled on account of torrential downpours, but the Little Leaguers were itching to show off their brand-new uniforms and their old-fashioned pride, and wouldn’t let a little bit of rain get in the way. The parade, which has been an Albany tradition for over 50 years, went off smoothly under the direction of parade coordinator Jennifer Hansen-Romero.

UGH!!! Nature is beautiful..but not feeling the beehive:( My last sting from a bee was quite unpleasant. That could be why:( Also explains why I see so many of them buzzing around..couldn't figure out where they were coming from. Well.....now I know:)

The owl photos are awesome, Anita!

Thanks, Emilie! That zoom lens I bought for Costa Rica definitely came in handy.

Skateboarder appears to be Kent Zapata, now a grown, responsible man and father! Remembering those days with laughter!

I wish there were seats so we could sit while we are in the queue at the Post Office

Where have all the Turkey's gone? For the last three days I've seen nothing of our feathered friends. I even walked by one of their regular feeding stations and nothing. I wonder if there has been an intervention.
Senior A. Titude March 10, 2013 at 05:02 pm
Saw them this morning (Sunday 3/10) around the corner from Toot Sweet @ Gilman under the Bart tracks. Both males and following. Maybe they realized they weren't welcome in Albany anymore?
John March 10, 2013 at 08:13 pm
Perhaps the wild turkeys have finished their walk about and are heading back to the Gilman tract.
Amanda Azevedo March 10, 2013 at 11:36 pm
A whole flock was at the redwood trees under the bart tracks on Masonic between Gilman and Marin as reported earlier. I pulled over to take photos-- there were 3 big males, all magnificently gussied up. There were probably 10-12 females as well.

Hi there - This doesn't seem like an appropriate announcement for Albany or Berkeley Patch. 1) theRead More category is Announcements/Around Town and these events are all in Marin 2) Patch's "Terms of Use" say "You may use this Service solely for personal and non-commercial purposes. That is to say: You can’t use the Service to make a living unless you enter into a separate agreement with us that says you can." This is clearly solely a commercial venture, not a neighbor of ours or local organization providing a community service and charging for the service. 3) I went to the Novato website and saw this listing: "Ettiquette (sic) Series for Kids - 17737 Ages: 7 Years to 11 Years - Residents $150.00 - Non-residents $163.00" 4) These items push our items of local interest down and out of sight. Especially now that there is no box indicating the stories with the most recent comments, as there used to be on the Patch front page, out of sight does mean out of mind. Charles, what are your thoughts here? Thanks.

I've been waiting for the right time to donate my son's old bike he used in middle/high school. It'sRead More been hanging on hooks in the garage and this seems like a great time to give it up!
christopher papazoglow June 7, 2013 at 10:30 am
Can you please post their hours / days of operation ? As i recall, they're only open afternoons aRead More few days a week, and it won't do to just leave donations outside ( they'll be scavenged ). And i was not able to find the info online.
AS&R - Albany Strollers & Rollers June 7, 2013 at 11:20 am
Thanks, Christopher. Open Community Hours are Friday, Saturday, Sunday 12-6pm so anytime those daysRead More are definitely fine. They're there (84 Bolivar Drive - Aquatic Park) most of the day Wednesdays and Thursdays for Youth Classes and the doors are locked. I just spoke to Amber Rich and she asked you to call them at 510 644 2577 and let them know what time is good for you and they will be sure to be there. Thanks for your generosity!
Dover June 5, 2013 at 02:47 pm
Thanks for the update but I am worried. This is very distressing. How will Eric and Tarina be ableRead More to afford their annual lengthy hipster vacation if they have to cough up lawyer fees? I am sure they were expecting that UCB (aka the rest of us) would pay Mr. Siegel's bill. Now they may have to resort to staying home and eating Top Ramen out of their charming and cheerful "made in Asia by small children but they're not slaving for 14 hours a day in front of our faces so we don't care" ceramic bowls. Oh noes! Bad, bad, very, very bad news.

David, thanks for the alert to the judge's decision.
