 St. Patrick's Day is huge in Albany ---but there was a time when being Irish in the city wasn't a source of pride, it was a point of derision. A new exhibit at the State Museum examines life in 1800's Sheridan Hollow, the slum where the newly arrived Irish lived in squalid, ramshackle shanties. At the heart of the display is what the people left behind, uncovered by archaeological digs in 2004 and 2005. Paul Grondahl writes about the exhibit in today's TU ---you can see it for yourself every day at the museum until October 15.
