Mmmmmm. Happy donut...

This week AOA was brought to you sunshine, bicycles, donuts and leather shorts. Not necessarily in that order.

But mostly, it was made possible by AOA advertisers. They're sweeter than donuts and better looking than leather shorts and without them, you wouldn't have us. So please support them when you can. OK? OK. Want to let the AOA crowd in on what you're business offers? here's how.

Stuff to do

+ Albany All Stars Roller Derby face the Long Island Roller Rebels on Saturday night at the Washington Avenue Armory. Be there!

+Tour a fabulous new condo at 17 Chapel. The Sales Center next to the Hampton Inn has open house hours Sundays 12:30 - 4, Tuesdays 12-4 and Thursdays 3-6.
