• The bridge to Waterford was located way at the north end of Lansingburgh. Built as a covered bridge in 1809, it was the first bridge across the river in the Capital District. About a century later, it burned and was replaced with a steel truss. There was a huge trolley barn just off the bridge which later became a J.M. Fields department store.

• Just around Middleburgh Street is this big lump of rock and for some reason, Sixth Avenue was run right through the middle instead of swerving around it.

• River & Fifth Avenue just north of "The Rock". I believe this is just at the base of Middleburgh Street.
