A quick recap of the week
Here are a few highlights from the past week on AOA:
+ Jess told us about some really good grape leaves at Nora's Grocery in Watervliet.
+ Is she New York's next First Lady-friend?
+ Check out the great fireworks photos Sebastien took at the ESP tree lighting.
+ Joe Bruno: guilty. Here's a speed read of the coverage.
+ So, should all the stuff named after Joe Bruno be re-named now? People had a lot to say.
+ RPI is building a new president's residence.
+ What was up in the Neighborhood this week: 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.
+ The majority of people in a Siena poll said things have gotten worse in the Capital Region over the last year.
+ We got the first significant snowfall of the season -- seven inches. It made good snowmen. (And a rough start for the Icy, Snowy Apocalypse Watch)
+ Guilderland is getting a Five Guys.
+ A few of the items found on Craigslist this week: a beautiful blonde who drops unusual things, a large package and Funny Cide wine.
+ Julie's dyeing for a new color for her drapes.
+ And it's holiday gift guide time. Here are a few local ideas: Spectrum passes, local items on Etsy, and bags from the Paper Sparrow.
