My Neighborhood

My Neighborhood

 Marilyn Tollifson, 81

Marilyn, pictured here in her shop on Liberty Street in West Albany, is something like the benevolent landlord of the neighborhood. She owns and rents nearly half the houses on the block(not counting the pens rented to her several rabbits), and is known to be a very kind and forgiving landlord. Pictured on the table next to her are a variety of spray painted pine cones in frosted glass containers that she is giving to her neighbors on the street as Christmas Decorations.

The PIX Theatre did a "sense-sensitive" screening of Frozen Two intended to make the movie more accessible to audiences with impediments of sensitivities. This is part of a movement by the Pix to be more inclusive of all audiences, and they showed this within only a few days of the films actual release.

The Albany Carousel lit up at night. A long time project of the City of Albany, the Carousel was intended to be symbol for the town years before it was completed this year. The carousel was truly a community project; schools took field trips there while it was under construction, and volunteer help in its construction and decoration was accepted and encouraged.

The PIX Theatre sign is one of the most popular photos to take in town. The one-screen cinema is adored by locals and is a focal point for entertainment in the city. In recent times they have been able to attain rights to bigger movies closer to their release date, and have seen a corresponding growth in revenue.
