What's up in the Neighborhood

The NeighborhoodAmong the topics in this most recent spin around the Capital Region's online neighborhood: summer days, exit rows, happiness, dragonflies, price differences, breakfast, barbecue, pears, complaints, wedding dresses and sorbet.

Kim had what sounds like a perfect summer day.

You want Rob in that exit row. You NEED Rob in that exit row.

Matt told the story of how he ended up back in Albany -- happy. (And he also got better seats than Reese Witherspoon this week.)

Jackie spotted a beautiful dragonfly.

Laura noticed quite the price difference.

Saratoga Dan ran down his favorite spots for breakfast. And he had a really nice dinner at the rebooted Springwater Bistro.

Daniel B expressed his love for Capital Q.

Albany Jane plucked a bunch of free pears. And she checked out the new Placid Baker in Troy.

A restaurant owner asked Steve why people don't voice their complaints.

Kristi wondered if she should give up on the Gingerman.

Celina had what sounds like some awesome sorbet.

Robert went for barbecue in Ballston Spa.

One of Naomi's readers tried to give away her wedding dress. Twice.

Melissa and Liz had a great night -- Wolff's, Bombers, Rent.

And The Exiles went around and around at Hoffman's Playland.
