After tax season ended a week and a half ago, H & R Block has closed its downtown Troy location, this time for good. The familiar posters promoting the company are off the windows, the office is barren, and something tells me they're not renewing their lease on the space on Congress Street.
The last thing Congress Street needs is another empty storefront, though.

Ever since taking over Albany Street in October, Brian Cady has impressed listeners and Albany Broadcasting management, such that he now adds DJ to his resume.
After a brief stint in February where he read traffic reports on Magic in The Morning, Cady is now himself a disc jockey, filling the 7-10 am space leading to The Sounds of Sinatra at 10 am on WROW.
Seems to me Albany Broadcasting is looking at filling every air space available, save maybe for overnights. Albany Street airs on all of Albany Broadcasting's channels except Jamz 96.3 & WFLY (92.3).

Reading that Rev. Nina Nichols, a local pastor, has tossed her hat in the ring for Mayor of Troy as a Democrat, hoping to keep the city under Democratic control after 2 successive Democratic Mayors, Lou Rosamilia and Patrick Madden. Madden is being term-limited out, and City Council President Carmella Mantello may be looking at a 4th bid for Mayor if she gets the Republican nod. Mantello is 0-3 in challenging for City Hall, having lost to Mark Pattison, Rosamilia, and Madden. I think what the voters are trying to tell Mantello is, she's got her comfort zone leading the City Council, and can go no further.
I shared with a local activist I talked to yesterday that Madden was being term limited out, and the dude was shocked, not knowing about the term limits. Interesting.
