A quick recap of the week
Here are a few highlights from the past week on AOA:
+ Jess talked with one of the founders of the Saratoga Peanut Butter Company.
+ Susan, who's from California, emailed us looking for help adjusting to the Capital Region -- and people have plenty of ideas about ways to help.
+ Zombie Police of Schenectady: coming to a theater near you. Protect your brains.
+ Amy told us about First Impressions Boutique -- and we talked with the owner about the pin-up photos she takes there.
+ Behold, the gubernatorial thighs.
+ Tori and Scott spotted a rather emphatic sign on South Pearl Street.
+ What was up in the Neighborhood this week: wake up calls, supermarket annoyances, a $5 bottle of wine, brunch and recycled toilet paper.
+ Yes, a $94,000/year state secretary is unusual.
+ The Piper's Dojo is aiming to rid the world awful bagpiping.
+ Shirley Jackson announced she's taking a pay cut.
+ A few of the things found on Craigslist this week: skinny pigs, Christmas present goats, a sugar daddy, nose-numbing halitosis, and a ton of crap.
+ Jess told us about the story behind the bung factory.
+ The Capital Region's unemployment rate is historically bad right now.
+ And AOA was voted "best blog" by the readers of Metroland. Thank you.
