What's up in the Neighborhood

The NeighborhoodAmong the topics in this most recent spin around the Capital Region's online neighborhood: Dickens, history, spring, dill sauce, a love letter, men in high heels, sweet potato fries, eggcellence and a currywurst meetup (tonight!).


Bob says the state legislature reminds him of Little Dorrit.

Beth says the TU needs to brush up on its Rensselaer history.

Spring reminded Kim why she lives here.

Kate took some pictures of men in high heels.

The mom mayor of Small-bany isn't sure she wants to see "a bovine miracle on a hot summer day whilst eating some fried dough."

Albany Jane had some "super-addictive" dill sauce at Kabul Night in Schenectady.

Jess wrote a love letter to Cardona's.

Robert says the sweet potato fries at Pinhead Susan's are a "must-order."

And Bob F captured a really pretty picture of a blooming dogwood in Troy.
