National Night Out 2015: A great night for meeting the neighbors

Kids enjoy bubble tornado--beats last year's weather!

A great night to meet your neighbors! For the 6th straight year, the Central Avenue Business Improvement District has celebrated in the Albany Police Department's National Night Out Celebration. 

Each year, the Central Avenue Business Improvement District partners with St John's Lutheran Church and the First Unitarian Universalist Society of Albany (FUUSA) to throw a rockin' block party on Robin Street. Last night neighbors enjoyed pizza from Little Anthony's, ice cream from Stewart's, as well as hula hoops, bubbles, and sidewalk chalk. McGruff the Crime Dog dropped in and everyone was enjoyed a visit from Mayor Kathy Sheehan and Albany Police Chief Brendan Cox. 

Last year's event was almost rained out, but St. John's graciously agreed to open their fellowship hall for the festivities. This year, the celebration returned to Robin, so that neighbors could enjoy a warm night in community.

Many thanks to everyone who came out!
