A quick recap of the week

week review 2010-01-30

Here are a few highlights from the past week on AOA:

+ This wasn't exactly a typical weather week for January.

+ The unofficial race between Kirsten Gillibrand and Harold Ford got a little absurd -- calorie counting, name calling and slamming.

+ Jessica started an ethnic market map for the Capital Region.

+ We looked at how median home prices have changed in the Capital Region by city/town.

+ Kaitlin had some ideas about how to overcome the mid-winter fashion blues.

+ What was up in the Neighborhood this week: soup, Kevin Marshall, sheep, an odd ad, side dishes, Irish pizza crust, cannoli, dog park etiquette, rest stops, a bald eagle, bargains, music lust and old New Yorkers.

+ Jessica checked in on the re-opening of the Marketplace Gallery in Albany.

+ Andrew asked about sports leagues for adults.

+ A few of the items found on Craigslist this week: an observed missed connection, bells and whistles, horse whispering and a robot monkey.

+ One of the latest styles: a haircut and a beer.

+ Apparently there is an app for this art.

+ And: Is this your pig?

Thanks to everyone who posted a comment or sent along an idea this week!
