Jackie pointed out some local plants that can kill you.
Kathleen suggested a few first date restaurants.

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.

Steve's restaurant blog really pissed me off, and I want to know where that apple tree is!
Dawn's beach blog was great; something I've been trying to do for at least two summers now.
