Abele Tractor & Equipment Co., Inc - Abele is an unassuming business off Everette Road. It was my fortune to find them after numerous calls to other local businesses in an effort to get a snow blower tire repaired. These guys were a pleasure to speak with on the phone and my wife remarked how warm and family like they were when she picked up the tire. Thank you, Abele - I hope I don't get another flat for a long time, but I know where I'm going next time I need help with the snow blower or lawnmower.
The Blue Ribbon Diner - If you have a family of fussy eaters (or people who like to eat, period), you can't go wrong with this choice. Prices are very affordable and serving sizes are generous. I love their Moussaka (Greek), also recommend their Greek dressing on your salad. Plenty of choices for dessert here. Who needs a bakery; you can get great cheesecake and baked goods right here.
CapCom FCU (Federal Credit Union) - Why go to a bank? The staff and service at CapComm is phenomenal. They repeatedly go above and beyond. If you have kids who get great grades and/or love to read, check out their savings programs for kids... my kids consistently rake in $40 each year just by bringing in their report cards.
Price Chopper - This grocer has demonstrated a long term commitment to the local area. I'd also like to recognize Price Chopper's commitment to provide an incentive for shoppers to use their own bags. They are the last of the 3 major grocers in the area to do so.
Quality Pools, 518-454-0001, 456 Sand Creek Rd, Albany, NY 12205 Reliable and affordable pool service in the Albany area is hard to find (likely due to our very short pool seasons). This place does not have a fancy showroom, but Won the owner is consistently responsive and fair in his pricing.
Sara Bella Pizza What list would be complete without including the local (and greatest) pizza shop!
