What's up in the Neighborhood

Among the topics in this most recent spin around the Capital Region's online neighborhood: urinals, French cars, bad golf approaches, graduation, garage bands, booted buses, jam, tequila, breakfast, generosity and a bellinitini.

Matt has a urinal in his home bathroom. You know, for the environment.

Bob got a shot of the Cohoes Falls at high volume.

Fun in Saratoga snapped some great pics of a Citroen rendezvous at PJ's in Saratoga.

Leah made strawberry jam.

Sara made jalapeno-infused tequila.

And one of Steve's readers found generosity at Gallo's.
