Tell her to go to Crossgates Mall--it is by far the biggest mall in Albany and it is 3 exits south of the airport exit on I-87. They have a Ruby Tuesdays and Piiza Uno as well as a 16 or 18 screen cineplex. Has she thought about renting a car and heading back tomorrow morning?
Nah, she's staying with family so she's fine, Crossgates is where we saw Avatar btw. I like Albany, it's a cool town.
