Here are a few highlights from the past week on AOA:
+ Jess told us about a Troy artist who's trying to make paying his rent into art.
+ At least we're not _________
+ Lydia Kulbida's coming back to local TV.
+ Dawn told us about the Yellow Brick Road.
+ Albany's embattled police chief headed for the door.
+ Terry asked where he could take son on some cool local factory tours.
+ What was up in the Neighborhood this week: albino wildlife, goats, pigs, happiness, slide shows, burgers, pizza, sesame balls, Steve Flamisch, jelly, sandwiches, mint, Weezer and hand washing.
+ Schenectady's water was judged the best-tasting in the state. That's two wins in three years for the Capital Region.
+ A few local post offices escaped the dead letter office.
+ The gubernatorial mustache was hailed.
+ Jerry Jennings and Corey Ellis met in an Albany mayoral debate -- here's the stream of live tweets.
+ A few of the items found on Craigslist this week: good people, a biting dog, a cable guy, the Veggie Mobile, zombies heads and lumps of coal.
+ Jess gave us the scoop on the Papergirl project, which is hoping to bring art -- via bike -- to you.
+ We bought a vacuum cleaner. But people told us we totally missed out on the vacuum wonderland.
+ EMPAC has an interesting/different concert coming up.
+ Eat this: the ever more scarce carrot cake ice cream at Stewart's.

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.
