A quick recap of the week

posted Nov 29, 2008

Here are some highlights from the past week on AOA:

+ Jess told us about an interesting company started by two recent RPI grads.

+ We checked out what NY State is selling on eBay.

+ People said they had trouble getting cabs to show up as promised.

+ We watched the Ashley Dupre (Spitzer's "Kristen") interview so you didn't have to.

+ Amy had some advice about how to score a deal at an estate sale.

+ The Megabus is coming to the Capital Region -- with (a few) $1 fares to NYC.

+ We looked through some of the local Donors Choose projects.

+ There's a cool photography exhibition opening in Hudson.

+ What was up in the Neighborhood this week: bad medicine, twits, budgets, grocery stores, sweet potatoes and Charlie Rose.

Thanks to everyone who sent along ideas, corrections and comments this week -- especially Matthew for the tip about Megabus.
