The NeighborhoodAmong the topics in this most recent spin around the Capital Region's online neighborhood: drivers, a cold night on the Capitol steps, rolls, Chipotle, salmon, burger joints, t-shirts, a swap, Vermont, skating, cards, eagles and heckling.

Albany Jane lined up for a free burrito at the new Chipotle in Clifton Park.

Daniel B urged local restaurants to switch to wild salmon.

Steve's readers had suggestions about good burger joints.

FiS Dan pointed out a new Saratoga biz that makes stimulating t-shirts.

Naomi got a card from Cassie.

The Exiles went to CMOST.
