+ Dawn got to the bottom of that car wash / salad bar in Guilderland.
+ A few of the items found on Craigslist this week: a pack of sorority sisters, a staring cat, a family vacation in Rensselaer, chocolate hedgehogs and a handsome businessman who wants to look lucky. Oh, yeah -- and a want ad for a ghostbuster.
