A quick recap of the week
Here are some highlights from the past week on AOA:
+ We heard that a ride on the Megabus is pretty smooth, with maybe one or two hiccups.
+ Discontent over the layoffs at RPI prompted people to organize.
+ Jimmy Tedisco's decided to fight David Paterson's proposed "iTax" -- and Frank Sinatra may be the first casualty.
+ A St. Rose professor got baked.
+ 2008: historically wet.
+ There were not one, but two, episodes of Top Senator this week.
+ Amy told us about Tattered Pages, a place that makes it easier to support a book habit.
+ What was up in the Neighborhood this week: the Megabus, yummy hats, federal laws, restaurant sleuthing, impressionism, chilliness, sushi and supermarket still life.
+ David Paterson took 60 hours to memorize his State of the State speech -- we took about 5 minutes to recap it.
+ If Long Island wants to be its own state, well, it's not like we're going to argue with them.
+ We checked out cheap airfare to some warm places.
+ Jessica told us about Troy artist Jess Fink. She has a lot of fans -- some of them are maybe a little too enthusiastic.
+ The phone books are back. And you can do something about it.
+ Eat this: asparagus soup at the Wine Bar and Bistro on Lark.
