  • I was recently in Albany and spent time at the plaza , having been away from it for since the mid 1970s . It has been just 35 years since Rocky and his rock pilers did such a nice setting in Albany and already it is beginning to show signs of bad judgment in it's construction . With that chain fence that you have put up , this is a indication of what may lay ahead . I think the engineers did not consider that Stones taken from Italy in a different climate would hold up to the bitter winters of Albany. I think you should consider what you are going to do if the marble on the higher building starts shattering . At the base areas it already is splitting , Whether that stone at the base areas is the same as other stones I can not say . Love the setting there , my family goes back to the revolution in that area .
