The Miss Albany Diner
ByFor those that read or watch the local news you have probably heard that the Miss Albany Diner is up for sale. Those in the band that have been around long enough you probably remember stopping here after band practices on Saturday mornings (back in the Tara Hall days) for eggs and coffee and some of our patented useless banter. I know the Donnelly’s and I were regulars and I’m pretty sure some others joined at times as well.
Speaking of breakfast, we used to have a tradition of pancakes and coffee at Pinky’s before competitions as well — we should get that going again. You didn’t need a meal for the rest of the day after eating those pancakes… but anyway…
Perhaps someone in the band will buy it? We could practice in the parking lot and go to Wolff’s after in the summer? Gordie aren’t you retiring soon? Wishful thinking I know. I really hope they find a new owner who keeps the place exactly the same as it is today.

I think a band field trip is in order. I’m free this weekend (I’d have to bring the girls, but I’ll put them in a booth far away from ours).
Pinky is willing to reinstitute those raspberry oatmeal pancake breakfasts, I’m told.
Great recipe – Pinky shared it with me at least 10 years ago – and my family is still saying “thanks!!!”
