A quick recap of the last week

bread oven, gallery dog, gas prices, pommes frites

One of these things is actually Belgian.

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

+ If you want to stay wired at Virgil's House, stick with the coffee.

+ Albany's Grand Street neighborhood knows how to get fired up.

+ For the love of all that is holy and good, eat the pommes frites at Ravenous with mayo, svp.

+ Somebody's making money on high gas prices, but not the people you might have thought.

+ Some jobs are harder than others.

+ There are two sides to every sign.

+ Most unlikely thread of the week: a discussion about the relative merits of a degree from UAlbany. It started with a post about college kids and their trash.

+ Speaking of UAlbany, one of its students is a Miss Universe contestant.

+ You know why we don't have a lieutenant governor right now? Because no one ever really seemed to care enough to figure out how to replace one.

If you'd just like the whole week unfiltered, check our listing of the last seven days of AOA.
