Today's riddle: How fast is milk when you pour it? 🤔 (Answer below!)
1. Upgrades to Port of Albany's wharf underway (timesunion.com) — Major upgrades to the Port of Albany's wharf and on-dock rail are underway, boosting the dock's strength to handle much heavier cargo and support regional manufacturers. Funded partly by a state grant, the $100 million program is expected to protect hundreds of local jobs and solidify Albany's role as a key logistics hub along the Hudson River.
2. 1 killed, 1 critically injured in New Scotland head-on crash (dailygazette.com) — A deadly head-on collision on Route 32 in New Scotland left a Westerlo man dead and a woman in critical condition at Albany Medical Center, with another victim treated there for minor injuries. Albany County Sheriff's investigators are reconstructing the crash and asking anyone who saw the Saturday evening wreck near Tarrytown Road to contact their office with information.
3. Quilts of Valor honors five female veterans (news10.com) — In Albany, five female veterans were wrapped in hand-crafted Quilts of Valor, recognizing nearly a century of combined military service and sacrifice. The ceremony, led by a Saratoga Springs quilter, highlighted how community support helps veterans cope with difficult memories and deepened their appreciation for the freedoms they served to protect.
4. Horror film production to close Troy streets for second week (news10.com) — Film crews for the horror movie "Bridgeport" are back in the Capital Region, closing streets around Troy this week and potentially affecting commutes for Albany-area drivers. The Warner Bros.-backed production, which already shot in Schenectady, is also slated to film in Albany, Fulton and Oneida counties, so residents may see more cameras and temporary disruptions nearby.
