Seniors share stories and activities in a heartwarming portrait of this extraordinary hub for idiosyncratic New Yorkers. Through observational footage interspersed with interviews, Director Peter Odabashian’s film with Executive Producer Esther Cohen, defies the stigma of age and redefines what it means to have a good life when you find the right community.

Come and watch the Oscar-nominated film: The Post. Katharine Graham (played by Meryl Streep) is the first female publisher of a major American newspaper—The Washington Post. With help from editor Ben Bradlee (played by Tom Hanks), Graham races to catch up with The New York Times to expose a massive cover-up of government secrets that spans three decades and four U.S. presidents. Together, they must overcome their differences as they risk their careers—and very freedom—to help bring long-buried truths to light. The Post was directed by Steven Spielberg.

NNORC recently received an advisory circulated by Albany Police Department’s Officer James Brooks about an increase over the past month in daytime home delivery thefts from residential doorsteps and porches. Apparently, the suspects-who may be on bicycles or in vehicles-are following package delivery company vehicles from FedEx, UPS, and USPS or scouting the neighborhood for recent deliveries. When the deliveries are dropped off at the residences, the suspects are retrieving the packages after delivery personal have left the area. In a few instances, the homeowners were home when the thefts occurred. Most of the thefts have taken place on Whitehall Rd, Buckingham Lane, and Eagle Hill Neighborhoods.
Because recovery of stolen parcels is very unlikely, Officer Brooks shared the following suggesting when placing orders for delivery:

  • Request a signed receipt for the package if delivery to your home.
  • Request the package be sent to a distribution pick-up center (e.g., USPS, on New Karner Rd in Colonie or USPS in Latham).
  • Request the package be sent to your place of employment.
