The busiest day of the week (newswise) in the Capital District is Tuesday. I covered three stories myself, but there were several other things happening and press conferences going on. The stories I covered all took place within Albany's South Mall. These kind of assignments are great because a reporter can travel from the Capitol to the LOB and other buildings via the underground mall. I can gather information for my stories, take photos and begin writing scripts electonically on the spot. I don't even have to go outdoors for lunch: there are restaurants including a McDonald's in the mall, as well as the fine deli in the Capitol. One of my stories took me up the old staircase to the LCA pressroom. Pretty quiet these days, it once was a beehive of newspaper and radio reporter activity. Times certainly have changed! The post office and newsstand remain at the Capitol, lasting reminders of the bustling days of yesteryears. I enjoy spending time there.----------
