A quick recap of the week
Here are a few highlights from the past week on AOA:
+ Albany got a new theme song. The 1986 version might have been better.
+ Jessica told us about the Puppet People of Schenectady.
+ Thacher Park was put on a list of state parks slated for closure because of budget cuts.
+ Tori asked for moving company suggestions.
+ Kim told us why she thinks Troy is underrated (a lot of people seem to agree).
+ The Times published two articles about David Paterson -- neither of which seemed to achieve "bombshell" status.
+ What was up in the Neighborhood this week: sweets, 8 Tables, Katrinella's, flowers, Valentine's Day, salad hair, reservations, MASS MoCA, laser eye surgery, Franklin Plaza, the middle of nowhere, contrabass, Troy, a winter carnival, puppets and surprise.
+ Saratoga County was ranked as the second healthiest county in New York.
+ Google's merger with a Clifton Park company was approved.
+ Karl Rove and Howard Dean are going to be at UAlbany -- together.
+ A few of the items found on Craigslist this week: pity mirrors, a forward tattoo, a mind in the gutter and the Snowblower of Doom.
+ We put together a list of places in the Capital Region where you can ice skate outside.
+ The Gazette's archives are being Googled.
+ And... it snowed.
