A quick recap of the week
Here are some highlights from the past week on AOA:
+ Sebastien sent along video clips from a handful of EMPAC performances -- and some of them are kind of weird.
+ According to one analysis, the Capital Region is already in a recession.
+ We asked people for the scoop on Tesoro, the new Italian restaurant in Guilderland. The super quick summary: good red sauce, service might need some help.
+ Amy tracked down how to buy a whole cow.
+ Jess told us about the big bust up on the local roller derby scene.
+ What was up in the Neighborhood this week: the chip fab, another tale of Smalbany, popcorn, disappointing meals, an egg mystery, and geeky girls.
+ Jess put together a bunch of tips about how to find interesting gluten-free food in the Capital Region.
+ The "Langdon from Ballston Spa, NY" from the presidential debate is Langdon Jenkins.
+ We had some pizza from the new Townsend Park Bakery -- and we'll be going to back to try it again.
+ Amy told us about The Pottery Place at Stuyvesant Plaza.
+ Who doesn't shop for their own groceries? A lot of people, apparently.
+ The BO55LADY was just one of the things we noticed scanning through Craigslist this week.
+ A peek at the Taking Woodstock shoot in Columbia County.
+ Does it matter which local dry cleaner you take your stained shirt to? Yes, it does.
