Very quietly, the El Dorado Restaurant & Bar on 4th Street, between Congress & State, reopened on Wednesday. All that's missing now is the familiar logo on the window. Said logo needs to be repainted after it was damaged following a fire last summer.
The timing, of course, is perfect, with St. Patrick's Day coming on Tuesday.
An era is ending in the 518.
Four years after reopening as part of a merger with St. Ambrose School in Latham, Catholic Central School is downsizing.
Per the Albany County Diocese, Catholic Central will now only have classes for grades K-8, beginning in September.

Spectrum News 1 is reporting that the school has only 22 students between grades 8-11, meaning there are no seniors this season. The school paused its men's basketball & bowling programs, the latter for the 2nd consecutive season, and, beginning in September, high school courses will merge with Notre Dame-Bishop Gibbons in Schenectady.
Until the merger, Catholic Central High was one of Troy's big 4 high schools, along with Troy, Lansingburgh, & Lasalle.
More on this over at Tri-City SportsBeat tomorrow.
After opening its first 518 restaurant at Albany International Airport, Chick-Fil-A is opening a location at Latham Farms, aiming to open sometime later this year.
Known for its cheeky, often cheesy, advertising campaigns ironically using cows as their mascots to encourage diners to eat chicken, Chick-Fil-A is looking to challenge KFC & Popeye's for supremacy among chicken-centric restaurants.
