A quick recap of the week
Here are a few highlights from the past week on AOA:
+ Arielle told us about the wild things at Adirondack Animal Land.
+ Jess got a tour of the Burden Iron Works Museum in Troy.
+ We sorted some local census numbers -- and Albany, Schenectady and Troy lost out.
+ Kim gave us the scoop on where to find summer stuff cheap.
+ @daveyrich asked about parking in Center Square and a lot of people had ideas.
+ Kim Mazor has quite the collection of Capital Region bobbleheads.
+ What was up in the Neighborhood this week: lucky beer, traveling GPS units, art in Troy, appetizers, mind boggling menus, beets, sandals, dog pee and half-nakedness.
+ Kim shared her source for cheap toiletries.
+ A few of the items found on Craigslist this week: pet rocks, one-stop shopping, a sugar daddy, a life-size Cookie Monster and a bunch of beer cans.
+ We talked with Louise about her grease car -- its exhaust smells like french fries.
+ The Capital Region was named one of the best cheap places -- and it prompted some good comments.
+ Shawn Morris dropped out of the Albany mayoral race.
+ There was a short -- but strong -- storm that included hail and rainbows.
+ Jess told us about the interesting people at Casperland in Troy.
+ And the ESP is smokin'!

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. Thanks for being patient.
