I know there are lists of this stuff floating around the Internet, but if you’ve grown up in the Capital District and have lived here for at least a couple of years, you know the answer to these long-ago businesses and the like.

So, take a piece of paper and a pen, and see if you can get the correct answers to all of these Albany-based trivia questions. No cell phones, no phone-a-friends. Make your work your own.

Also, if you want to know the answer, I’ve used “Inviso-text” to hide the answers in this post. If you think you know the answer, drag your cursor behind the end of each question, and the words should show up. That’s assuming that the Times-Union has its “Inviso-text” filter running.
