What's up in the Neighborhood

The NeighborhoodAmong the topics in this most recent spin around the Capital Region's online neighborhood: horses, roars, dachshunds, filing cabinets, Burlington, pick up lines, education, mayors, surprises, Caroline Street, brunch, burgers and cheesecake.

Jess L went got some great photos of Rachel Alexandra at The Track. And FiS Dan says the roar of the crowd for her race was "beyond exciting."

Daniel went to a different kind of race -- dachshunds dressed up as hot dogs.

Naomi saw the world's tallest filing cabinet in Vermont. Bandit went along, too.

Leigh has some thoughts on what not to say at the bus stop.

Kristi says she's an "an adult ed whore."

Matt got drunk with the mayors of Albany and Schenectady. Steve says it was a surprise.

FiS Dan took a tour of the new stuff along Caroline Street in Saratoga.

Jess took herself out for brunch at New World.

Mr. Dave isn't a believer in the cheesecake made by nuns in Cambridge, NY.

Robert thought Juicy Burgers was a little expensive.

And RIP, Zachary Northrup.
