Then vs. Now: Central Ave Bridge

The bridge was part of the New York Central Railroad’s infrastructure, serving as a vital link for trains traveling through the Capital Region. The prominent “New York Central” signage on the bridge highlighted its importance during the peak of rail travel. While the bridge no longer serves its original purpose, it remains a notable landmark, reflecting Albany’s rich railroad heritage.

Today marks the 234th anniversary of Troy’s incorporation🍻 Around Troy

On March 18, 1791, the village of Troy was officially incorporated, setting the stage for its rise as an industrial powerhouse along the Hudson River. Once a small riverside settlement, Troy quickly became known for its ironworks and textiles —helping shape the city’s identity as the “Collar City.” From its early days as a frontier village to its boom during the 19th century, Troy has always been a city of innovation, resilience, and grit.

On this day in Albany history: The Blizzard of 1888 ❄️

From March 11 - March 14, 1888 Albany got blasted with 4 feet of snow. Albany was completely snowed in with phone lines and trolleys out of operation - not even the bars were open 🤣

Take a peek around B. Lodge & Co 👀

, established in 1867, is Albany’s oldest department store and one of the oldest in the United States. Located at 75 North Pearl Street, it has been a staple of the community for over 150 years, offering affordable clothing, school uniforms, medical scrubs, and accessories at prices that often beat major retailers.

Known for its commitment to quality and value, Lodge’s has remained a go-to shopping destination for generations. They’ve had the largest selection of Champion sweats, hoodies, and crew necks long before Champion became cool 👕

Beyond its reputation for affordability, B. Lodge & Co. carries a sense of Albany’s past woven into its fabric. Generations have walked through its doors, from students grabbing school uniforms to Albanites hunting for everyday essentials.

Unlike big-box stores, Lodge’s thrives on personal service, nostalgia, and deep community roots. Its survival through economic shifts, changing fashion trends, and the rise of online shopping proves that some places aren’t just about what they sell—they’re about the people who keep coming back 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦

This peek around in brought to you by Mensroom Barber Shop, who has been servicing Albany for over 20 years tucked behind B. Lodge & Co at 54 Columbia Street 📍
