In the morning of Sunday, Dec. 4, a vehicle collided with the front of an Albany coffeehouse.
The vehicle drove onto sidewalk sometime between midnight and 1:30 a.m. damaging a metal handrail and chipping pieces of concrete off the façade of the building at 227 Quail St. It then careened into a series of sanitation cans, narrowly missing a newly installed bike rack.
The building houses the Hudson River Coffee House on the bottom floor and apartments above. There was no damage inside the store or to the upper apartments.
The Coffee House had just celebrated its first anniversary Friday with an evening of music featuring such acts as the Sunnyside of the Street Band and Lucky Jukebox Brigade.
