A quick recap of the past week

posted Apr 26, 2008

Here are a few highlights from the last week on AOA:

+ We found out how you can gain the title of governor -- without actually campaigning and getting elected.

+ We unintentionally tortured Jason with pictures of some great Italian bread.

+ If you're a resident of the Capital Region, you probably have a long time to live.

+ When we think about a name that will strike fear into the heart of Google, we're not sure it's "Albany."

+ We checked out some boarded up art.

+ It's great that kids aren't afraid to ask the tough questions.

+ It turns that it does pay to ride the bus. At least, it does some of the time.

+ And we found out that Mahar's is the 99th best place in the country to have a beer before you die. And the Track is the 19th. What?
