What's up in the Neighborhood

Among the topics in this most recent spin around the Capital Region's online neighborhood: whipped cream, voice mail limbo, classy stuff, bus drivers, sushi, lemurs and Girl Scout cookies.

Rob found one gem in the mountains "garbage" at his son's school garage sale.

Lydia got stuck in "voice mail limbo" while trying to ask a question about unemployment at the Labor Department.

Mr. Dave stopped at a classy spot in Canajoharie.

Speaking of classy, Melodic Kim came across perhaps the classiest gift for your lady. Alas, Valentine's Day has already passed.

Leigh remembers why riding the bus is still kind of a bargain.

Here's all the Easter specials that Steve has posted.

Kristi thinks that fur coat Billy Fuccillo's been wearing in his commercials "looks like a cross between a skunk and a lemur."

Christopher recently went to Aperitivo in Schenectady and reports that it's much improved.

And Celina has finally found Eddie. And his sushi.
