Those were great pictures. The area is safe in the daytime; lots of workers around. Be careful about walking around that area after about 5:30PM or so.

Great photos - thanks for posting. Looks good despite the frozen slush. Even better in the summer.

You silly goose; sometimes after all the workers go home, it can be a little lonely out on the street all alone......very spooky. I think Albany is haunted.

thank you for these excellent pictures. I used to live near Lark Street, and I recall very vividly these little scenes.
