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.

I wish his opponent ... had provided more detailed background in his candidate statement regarding his credentials beyond his family's love of he library and his professional work as an environmental scientist. However, there were no swastikas so I'm voting for the candidate without swastikas.
