A quick recap of the week

week review

Here are a few highlights from the past week on AOA:

+ Scott Langer was this week's My Exit person -- and he sent along the best picture ever.

+ Jen was routed around zombies on North Main.

+ Katherine told us about the oldest building in Albany.

+ We got a look at who's donating to whom -- and where it's being spent -- in the Albany mayoral race.

+ Jess told us about Elderberry Mary and her jam.

+ What was up in the Neighborhood this week: awkward encounters, rocket science, Averill Park, hamsters, gardens, martinis, Italian ice, wedding pictures and s'mores.

+ We ranked New York's fattest counties.

+ Jennifer encountered a rather bold possum.

+ Arielle told us about a bunch of free stuff you can get on your birthday in the Capital Region.

+ A few of the items found this week on Craigslist: rental rabbits, a non-Moroccans, a pregnat goddess in pink, mannequins and "the f----n' coolest dude ever."

+ What's at the farmers' markets this week.

+ And Capital Region clips from before Jimmy Fallon was Jimmy Fallon.

And thanks to everyone who posted a comment or sent along a photo or idea this week!
