What's up in the Neighborhood

The NeighborhoodAmong the topics in this most recent spin around the Capital Region's online neighborhood: the Megabus, yummy hats, federal laws, restaurant sleuthing, impressionism, chilliness, sushi and supermarket still life.


Another report on the Megabus experience, this time from Albany Jane: it sounds like maybe they need to work on the pick-up/drop-off location issue.

Leah knitted herself a yummy hat.

Kate is worried that a federal law could force her to stop selling kids items at the Paper Sparrow.

One of Steve's readers sounds like a restaurant Sherlock Holmes.

Bath-On-Hudson says the California Impressionism exhibit at the Hyde Collection in Glens Falls is worth a look.

An office ban on space heaters has forced Kristi to contemplate the most drastic of measures: a Snuggie.

Oh, Sushi House, why won't you open on Mondays for Leigh?

And @EllenRonnie captured a supermarket still life at Price Chopper -- it includes the "most awful salsa" she's ever seen.
