Pickleball At LBCC

  The pickleball courts on LBCC’s Albany campus are a popular place to play and learn the sport of pickleball. In 2019 the city of Albany would replace the tennis courts with pickleball courts for an estimated $300,000, and LBCC would then be responsible for maintaining the courts. In April of 2020 it was officially 300,000 to officially renovate the old tennis courts into 8 pickleball courts and one sports court for tennis. By August of 2021 the renovation was finished and their was now 12 pickleball courts. There was some criticism of the $330,000 project of why the city needs to spend so much on just pickleball courts instead of things like homelessness. There was also a lot of positive talk and excitement from the Albany Pickleball Club and some community members saying they would be well used.  Pickleball is a popular paddle sport that combines elements of tennis, badminton, and ping-pong.

Wonder and warmth filled the air as these compassionate people displayed big smiles and...

Lakeshore Lanes

  If you are looking to have a good time by yourself, with a friend, or a big group, good food, bowling, arcade, two different bars with a great selection of beer and cocktails with 12 video poker machines, then Lakeshore Lanes in south Albany is the place to go.  “There is just so much to do here,” said a customer who brought her two kids to bowl and ended the day with a game of miniature golf, which is located to the left side of the parking lot and includes waterfalls, soothing sounds and 18 holes of putt putt.  I was pleasantly surprised when I went after the pizza. I noticed a lot of people were eating and drinking a variety of different foods and drinks while bowling or inside one of the bars. I looked over and saw the woman that was working and getting everyone set up for their shoes and lane to bowl and she was multitasking three or four different things at the same time. I assumed that it takes a certain kind of person to pull it off and keep everyone happy....
