Otto likes to have a view while he picnics.

My people like to take me on picnics to Washington Park. Not only are there lots of places there to roll out the blanket, but it's also close enough to Lark Street that they can pick up some food if they're not feeling like packing the basket themselves.

And if you're just looking to eat al fresco, sans blanket, be sure to check out the Capital Region Outdoor Dining Map.

My friend and I were walking back to my apartment after the anti-fracking concert. I live near the corner of dove & Madison. The car & the damage were crazy. Half of the front was crumpled & the glass was shattered and almost out of the front window. It looked as if a something was launched right through the front dash & window.
