A quick recap of the week

lever voting machine

We'll miss you, lever voting machine.

Here are some highlights from the past week on AOA:

+ Amy checked out the new Schenectady Greenmarket.

+ People talked about what they'd like to see go into the Jackbit and Joltz space on Lark Street.

+ Sebastien sent along video of bike polo in Washington Park.

+ We bid farewell to the lever voting machine. It seems that a lot of people are going to miss it.

+ Amy went browsing at the Paper Sparrow in Troy.

+ What was up in the Neighborhood this week: open tables, Asian markets, pasta makers, and the "stripper smell."

+ We enjoyed a fun election night photo by Patrick Dodson.

+ If ever you needed evidence that drinking, formal wear and fake horses don't mix -- here it is.

+ We broke down let Eliot Spitzer off the hook -- and headline writers couldn't contain themselves.

+ And it was the last week of the Tournament of Pizza. Two impressive performances in the semi-finals set up quite the match in the finals.

Thanks to everyone who sent along ideas, corrections and comments this week.
