They had me go to a shorter line, which was for returns, when I had no return. I must have watched 20 customers behind me leave before me. A 15 minute wait for 2 customers ahead of me. I'll admit this seems to be an issue at most locations. I don't think this corporation will ever figure it out, and because of that I generally avoid these stores.

This is a pretty cool sporting store with two different names located in the heart of the massive Crossgates Mall in Albany. It's definitely one of the better stores I've been to in malls for sporting goods. I'm not sure what sort of customer they expect to be able to pay these prices, but people must have paid them anyway because they've managed to stay in business. That's pretty good for them. This store is more fun for me than Barbie when we're walking around Crossgates, so we didn't stay long, but I'm glad that it's here and it surely adds something to the mall.

The Fortress of Gaming is a new all things gaming event center referred to as, "A Country Club For…read moreGamers". It is located in the warehouse district of Railroad Avenue and a bit tricky to find until the signage is updated but it is more than worth the time you spend searching for it. The Fortress of Gaming is owned by the same person that runs Zombie Planet. The ambition of this place is as grand as the size the venue offers with a small storefront for things like paints, play mats, and dice, the majority of the other two large sections of the location are dedicated to running events and offering space to play games. A flat $5 entry fee gets you access to the facility, their large gaming library, on site concessions, and many tables. Currently, they have spaced out tables, a new HIPPA rated HVACC system with plenty of ventilation, and a requirement to prove you are vaccinated to enter. Masks are optional once inside as a result which is a nice upside to the requirement to prove you are vaccinated. I went for my first visit to try out a event called, "Paint and Take" which is where you buy a $25 kit that includes a pre primed miniature, the paints and brushes you need, and a cup for water so that you can essentially sit and paint with others and have a good time. Eventually, there are plans to get a liquor license and to possibly host "paint and sip" instructional events as well. The venue currently runs magic the gathering, digimon, Warhammer 40K events and really, the potential is vast right now for future events from regular board gaming nights to conventions. This is the gamer equivalent of a field of dreams. He built it, the only question now is, will they come? I hope so. This is a great space and I plan to visit often and see everything they have to offer. This is a local small business that is very niche and it is my hope that it is one of the examples of how we have built back better since the pandemic threw a wrench in all our lives. For those who know about Zombie Planet, note that the store is still there and not closing. It is going to be a full retail location now with more product to offer. It is shifting all it's event business to The Fortress of Gaming. This is an exciting new place to visit and I recommend doing so. It is not crowded, it is not noisy, it is clean and they follow current covid best practices. The owner is open to new ideas too. If you happen to have some nifty and feasible ideas for events you'd like to host at the Fortress, try talking to George about it. You may just find yourself with a venue that meets your gaming event needs :)

I was told by a salesperson at the store that you can order balloons online at Michaels, and bring them in for inflation with helium. I assumed that Michaels works the same way as a grocery store selling and filling their balloons for the cost of the balloon itself. I thus ordered balloons for a baby shower from the Michaels' website. However, upon bringing them in for inflation, I was told by the manager that Michaels sold this set of 10 mylar heart balloons through a third party. Michaels will only inflate these third-party balloons for $3.00 a piece. This makes a simple mylar balloon cost now $6 each. The Michaels website reads: "Order online and pick up your pre-inflated balloons in store." They do NOT mention that inflation with helium is a hefty separate charge, or let you know that they do NOT inflate for free all of the ones they sell on the Michaels website. To compensate me as this is not a clear policy on their website, they gave me a $15 gift card towards the cost of the $30 helium charge. My advice: save your money and go elsewhere for balloons!

Ferris Coin and Jewelry has relocated to 199 Wolf Road from…read moreanother Albany location. The business dates back to 1930. Open six days a week. The door is locked, and you are let in after you speak into a microphone. It is a safe environment for all. The store is well lit and attractive. The staff is welcoming. The atmosphere is calm and private. If you have gold or Sterling Silver you do not want to keep, turn it into cash at this reputable store. I was amazed how professional, knowledgeable and efficient the staff is at Ferris. Within 40 minutes I left with a substantial check. The current price of gold is over $3,000. now! I never thought of jewelry as an investment, but it can be. For example, a 14 karat gold bracelet I bought in 1995 for $625. was worth an incredible $6,445. at today's gold market price. The store is also a high end jewelry store. Cases of new jewelry are displayed in cases around the store. There is also some estate jewelry available to purchase including Tiffany & Co. My SIL purchased three "second hand" David Yurman designer SS pieces of jewelry at 60% below retail. While we were there, a couple was shopping for a diamond engagement ring. The staff is experienced, knowledgeable, professional, and pleasant. I returned a few days later with my daughter who wanted to scrap/sell some gold and SS serving pieces. It was another positive experience! Phone: 518 434-3860 Website: ferriscoin.com
