Time to get personal.
After last year's Victorian Stroll was, for the most part, a washout because of rain killing the vibe, it was back to the streets on Sunday.
As was the case in 2022, the first stop was St. Paul's Church on 3rd Street, where we were treated to some carolers, and we even sang along in some cases. "We" being ye scribe and a pair of classmates from Troy High, whom you'll see in a bit.
We sat 4 rows deep in front, so this was the best we could do.
And, then, there was this:
Our party increased by one as we left the church. Our next stop was the Hart-Cluett Mansion on 2nd Street, and the Holiday Greens Show.
I think Sylvester Stallone said it best in "The Expendables". It's good to have friends.
And, there's one of the displays at the show:
Former Albany Times-Union & Albany Business Review reporter Claire Hughes met us as we were finishing the tour:
Our final stop was Stacks' Espresso Bar, where Maurizio played 2 1/2 hours, virtually without a break. Here he is with moi after the show:
Dude, I'll admit we should've been side by side.
This was a trip and a half, and it was worth the time.
