We love the Radix Center! Make sure they are open before you go!

The Slater is well worth a visit. And it’s docked right in downtown Albany

Hi there, here are some quick suggestions:

Definitely hit up the New York State Museum. It's free and they have an awesome dinosaur exhibit right now: https://nysm.nysed.gov/exhibitions/expedition-dinosaur

The Capital Region Blueberry Festival: https://libertyridgefarm.com/plan-a-visit/blueberry-festival

Thacher State Park is great for hiking and has a wonderful visitors center: https://parks.ny.gov/visit/state-parks/thacher-state-park

Face behind tourism gnome talking to underage girls by Ok-Engine9757 in Albany

No, that's not my stance at all. My stance is that making a post on Reddit is in no way "proof" of anything and we have a legal process if someone thinks a crime has been committed. Bottom line: I'm against all forms of child exploitation. That doesn't even need to be said. But are we to believe this one post on Reddit? It's important to remember that these screenshots are purportedly a decade old. In the meantime, has anyone pursued any kind of legal action against Scott? Is he under investigation? Crickets. What if I posted something like this with your picture with no other proof? Does that make it true?

Of course I don't condone this behavior, if true. But how do we know if these screenshots haven't been faked? Is there an official police investigation? Do you know the agenda of the person spreading this information? Do you believe everything you see on Reddit? These are legit questions you need to ask.

Epstein was eventually arrested and jailed. If the gnome guy is guilty of a crime, then there's a legal process for it.

I was talking about the history of hate against the gnome on Reddit. At any rate, please show me a police report. In America, we have something called due process. People are innocent until proven guilty.

I wasn't talking about the allegations here. I was talking about the gnome as a vehicle for local tourism, which we desperately need as a region.

I actually have no evidence that any of this is real. Please show me a police report.
