I just read Akum Norder's idea to promote Albany as a historical destination like Philadelphia or Boston ("Observation Deck," July 8).
A good idea, but don't forget another big reason for day trips to Boston: To visit the renowned New England Aquarium.
Maybe the Albany aquarium could also be a draw along with our rich history. Just make sure they do both up right, and I know they can.
