Could This Be a Step Towards Gondolas In Downtown Albany?
It's been making waves over the last few months - the idea of a mile long gondola stretching from downtown Albany to the Amtrak train station in Rensselaer.
Is it a cool idea or is it crazy? Could it work? Could it draw tourism?
It still isn't set in stone, or um, sky just yet but this could be a stepping stone in that direction.
MacLaren Engineering has purchased a building in downtown Albany next to McGeary's Irish Pub. It wasn't in their original plans however, they decided it was a good investment for their firm.
They like that they're close to the state government resides and feel like this could be a step in the right direction given their recent buzz.
What do you think - could a gondola in downtown Albany work?
