This Week in Albany, Georgia
Your free weekly guide — what's happening this weekend, what's playing, where to eat, and local-only businesses worth knowing. Written in Albany, for Albany. Current issue: the weekend of September 18–20.
Roots & Wings Boutique
A mother/daughter/grandmother-run clothing and gift boutique at 711 N Westover Blvd, Suite F, Albany, GA 31707.
Three generations of one family went looking for something they could all do together and landed on the thing they already loved: shopping. They started as a pop-up in 2016 and opened this Westover Boulevard storefront in 2019, naming it after a saying about the two things worth leaving your kids — roots and wings. It has stayed a genuinely family-run shop ever since, stocked with clothes and gifts for every generation, not just one.
Welcome!
It is a lively close to summer around Albany, with two nights of live music at the Municipal Auditorium — Motown on Friday, Led Zeppelin on Saturday — and the Saturday market still going strong under the oaks at Tift Park.
