O Albany!

So, we're going to explore the psychogeographic implications of that.

And in a book called O Albany by the novelist and longtime Albany New York reporter William Kennedy, he gets into this a bit and says that the...

Governor Rockefeller, and this would be in the early 60s at this point, was sketching out his plans for what he wanted this big complex in the middle of Albany near the statehouse to be.

And he was talking to Wallace Harrison, who's making a return appearance in the architecture hut.

So the people of Albany, who I guess are ground down by being in Albany, have taken the egg as sort of an ironic mascot.

So I think the egg, it may not be loved, but it is at least recognized.

So if you go to Albany, I'm sure there are egg sweatshirts everywhere.

Every building except the main platform, which is clad in sandstone, and the egg, of course, which is pure brutalist concrete, is clad in various American marbles at great expense.
