LOL, you have a good sense of humor !!!!, I am not sure that I knew that about the weathervane, that old D&H building is an amazing structure, so is the capitol building they are still trying to waterproof, some of those old stone buildings are incredible, but leak like a sieve. I think SUNY is in there now or another state agency.
I was a young kid but I watched that museum get built, and the egg, the plaza buildings were completed before those, my father was a concrete superintendent on that 43 story building when it went up, not long after he was discharged from the army and was home from some far away places where some bad things were going on. I worked on the 33rd floor of that building for 1 year, what a view from your office, I could look north and see our land 12 miles away, our ridge of woods at 650 feet in elevation, was a great place to work, overlooking the river and all the buildings.
I used to go to the gun show too, buy and walk out with my purchase, bagged of course, things changed a lot down there since 9-11, security is tight, used to be relaxed. People were evacuated from the tower when 9-11 terrorist attacks hit, that building is a heavily reinforced concrete core with a massive steel superstructure around it, a proverbial brick sh$thouse, a lot heavier built than the WTC 1&2 was, those new ones are also similar, at least WTC 7 is and reminds me of this one in albany. Was always a good gun show and outdoor show, + all the other festivities that go on in the concourse level, outside and below. YOu may also not realize that in the bowels of that building is a lab that does all kinds of odd things, I have a good friend working in there, 7 stories below grade, really odd thing in there, a room 6" thick steel walls, set up to keep radiation out for experiments, plates were from an old ship prior to the nuclear era, I have seen it first hand, wonder if they also own any black helicopters, its a mysterious place that lab.

Today's Featured Article - A Lifetime of Farm Machinery - by Joe Michaels. I am a mechanical engineer by profession, specializing in powerplant work. I worked as a machinist and engine erector, with time spent overseas. I have always had a love for machinery, and an appreciation for farming and farm machinery. I was born and raised in Brooklyn, New York. Not a place one would associate with farms or farm machinery.
