What's up in the Neighborhood

The NeighborhoodAmong the topics in this most recent spin around the Capital Region's online neighborhood: Daylight Savings Time, grooming, skirts, dirty martinis, mimosas, pork and stimulus money.


Rob's microwave doesn't need to know the date. (And: eww.)

Brian observed some in-transit grooming.

Compliments during Troy Night Out have prompted Kate to go a little crazy for skirts.

Kristi wonders if the new Wolff's Biergarten will become a mostly-guys kind of place. (Also: the bad kind of dirty martini.)

After having a mimosa at Ravenous in Saratoga Springs, Celina is reports that the economic future of this region is somewhat more secure.

And Albany Jane pigged out (gracefully, we're sure) for cheap at the Pig Pit.

Tweets of the week

From @EdXeno: "St. Peter's has players named Bacon, Costner, and Gooding. Is this a basketball team or an early '90s movie that never was?"

From @dcecelia: "is there money in the federal stimulus package for a high speed rail to someplace sunny?"

From @briannaleclair: "i love corn chowder so much, i want to take it behind the middle school and get it pregnant."

From @Mrs_Misanthrope: "3 houses around the corner with x-mas decorations still on display. Was there a neighborhood carbon monoxide leak that I didn't hear about?"

P'shaw - gracious. You guys are way too kind. I may have to frame that.

Say Something!

We'd really like you to take part in the conversation here at All Over Albany. But we do have a few rules here. Don't worry, they're easy. The first: be kind. The second: treat everyone else with the same respect you'd like to see in return. Cool? Great, post away. Comments are moderated so it might take a little while for your comment to show up.
