A quick recap of the week

iPod vending machine, Meaghan, movies, Kong

You'll never guess what that guy on the end was pitching.

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

+ We got an early look at the new movie theater at Colonie Center and gave it a qualified thumbs up.

+ And to think that we were so worried about that supposed spat between Rachael and Oprah.

+ It's true, the lemon ice at Civitello's is both lemony and refreshing.

+ Our picture of Meaghan in her baby doll dress really didn't do her justice.

+ We found out that women in the Albany area put their college degrees to work.

+ Konnnggggg!

+ Finally, there's an outlet for our impulse iPod buying.

+ The bike is mightier than the car and the bus.

Who would have thought that the city of Troy could have chosen a building uglier than the one they're already in as the location of their new city hall? It's okay, actually. If the plans for the future of the current City Hall site pan out, they can put the new city hall in Cohoes for all I care.
