I saw this post on the subreddit r/albany the other day; apparently last week a local singer took time to set up his guitar and played songs in a storefront entranceway at the corner of State and North Pearl Streets.

It’s Friday night and I’m looking forward to date night – dinner and a movie.  This will be fun. The plan was to stop at Panera Bread on the way, pick up dinner for two, and then get together.  Now since I wanted date night to start as soon as possible, and I wasn’t keen…
