Albany Station

Imagine a world in which the assurance of fast wifi on a train trip would be so locked down that you wouldn't have a moment's doubt. I'm experiencing considerable doubt right now, of course, as I prepare to catch an Amtrak train from Albany to Penn Station. I found out during a train ride from Grand Central to Norwalk earlier this week that you can have three, four or five bars on your AT&T Air Card but you still can't connect to the internet if you're moving.


Albany-Rensselaer train station -- Friday, 12.26, 12:35 pm -- waiting on 1:05 pm train to Penn Station.

Oh, and some of the yokels up here pronounce Albany like Albany, as in "you can call me Al." It's Albany as in "all of me," of course.

You work hard to keep HE filled with your thoughts and opinions, but do you have to be connected 24/7? Look out the window, enjoy the ride.

Wow, that's the Amtrak station? Jesus Christ. You should see the one here in St Louis. It looks like a tenth that size. It sits down in the ghetto too. I always enjoy taking the train. Better than the Greyhound...

Last month I took a service called Bolt Bus from NYC to Philadelphia. $12 one-way (cheaper than Chinatown bus & more centrally located stops) -- and built-in wifi and AC power plugs. Awesome.

Yokels?

Humph... I live close enough to Albany that that's the easier airport for me to get to LA, not JFK...

Does that make me an Almost Yokel, Jeff???

I did a year of school in Albany, and after that I used to go quite often for legislative lobbying/protests and to visit the main office of the non-profit where I worked.

In the very hotly contested Worst City on Earth: New York State Edition, Albany is quite the competitor.

Wow, what a nice train station. I thought everything in Albany was pretty much a dump.

In Russia they say the best thing about Moscow is the express train to St Petersburg. The same is probably true about Albany and the train to Penn Station.

The only false note in THE WRESTLER is Marisa Tomei dreaming of moving herself and her son to Trenton for the nice neighborhood, because there is no nice part of Trenton. That being said, Albany makes Trenton look like fucking Prague. And in the words of Ed Koch, no good Chinese restaurants.
