What's up in the Neighborhood

The NeighborhoodAmong the topics in this most recent spin around the Capital Region's online neighborhood: smoldering buses, pets, priggishness, regret, bliss, a snow man, carrot cake, Craigslist, Christmas trees, inconsistency, tacos, dirty water hot dogs, the Salvation Army and beavers.

Leigh says the fire on a CDTA shuttle bus at Crossgates has made her uneasy.

Leah's daughter got to bring her class "pet" home from school. His name is Rex.

Albany Jane ate some cheap "badass" tacos.

Mr. Dave shared another of his favorite 99 cent snacks.

Daniel B praised inconsistency.

Kristi had to return her Christmas tree.

Skidmore Unofficial says it was "priggish" for a local charity to turn down money from the Skidmore photography club's naked calendar.

FiS Dan says people might end up regretting they didn't buy in downtown Saratoga when they had the chance.

At Friday Puppy, Christy says that visit from the Albany Eco Maids brought her bliss.

The Idiot snapped a photo of what could be Saratoga's first snow man of the season -- and if so, the season got off to a rocky start.

Steve didn't have to go far to find out who makes Quintessence's carrot cake.

Chuck used Craigslist to help his father-in-law.

Albaniana got a jigsaw puzzle for .049 cents per piece.

And Jackie reports that the beavers didn't let a little ice stop them.
