Blue LEGO Creator set found near Albany Library
I found a blue LEGO Creator 3-in-1 box this afternoon around 3:15pm behind the Albany Public Library on New Scotland Avenue.

It looks mostly complete—there's a small sticker sheet peeking from under the lid and a distinctive red 2x2 brick that stands out. The set is in good condition, just a bit dusty from sitting on the ground. It seems like it might belong to a kid who misplaced it during a visit, and I’d love to see it back with its owner.

Bearded dragon found near Albany Public Library
Found a bearded dragon this morning around 9:15am near the Albany Public Library on Madison Ave. It's about 8 inches from nose to tail, tan with dark orange blotches along the back, and a slightly brighter orange beard that flares when it's excited.
