What's up in the Neighborhood

The NeighborhoodAmong the topics in this most recent spin around the Capital Region's online neighborhood: arm candy, eggplant, soup, Korean food, precision, They Might Be Giants, the metric system, scandal, fish fry, tamales, strippers, delis, vending machines, fungus and germs.

Rob is arm candy for a local celebrity.

Albany Jane celebrated her anniversary at the Epicurean. (And she scored a whole box of Japanese eggplant at the Capital Region Farmers' Market.)

Steve asked people about their favorite local restaurant soup.

Rochelle has hopes that people behind Avenue A will return to open a "a straight up Korean restaurant."

The Exiles rocked out with They Might Be Giants. (And they encountered a very precise commemoration.)

Albaniana's children got to have fun -- and learn their metric conversions -- at a local playground.

Chuck recounted one of the most scandalous events in Albany entertainment history.

Robert "thoroughly enjoyed" himself at Bob and Ron's Fish Fry.

Kimelodic watched the Komen Race for the Cure from her stoop.

Jess had what sounds like a yummy tamale.

Kristi went to a strip show. With her boss.

Dawn went to Omi.

Daniel considered corned beef, pastrami and smoked meat.

Mr. Dave came across an interesting vending machine.

Naomi considered inappropriate Halloween costumes for Bandit.

Jackie went on a fall fungus tour.

And Matt had plenty of opportunities to sanitize his hands.
