+ The new parking meters started showing up in Troy.
+ The schedules for this summer's Alive at Five and Rockin' on the River series are out.
+ What was up in the Neighborhood this week: good light, Vermont, broadened horizons, beer boots, the circus, Mother's Day, maple syrup, CSAs, a birthday cake, Peruvian food, spiedies, concerts, ospreys, a Mini and cereal.
+ Long live Van's.
+ Kirsten Gillibrand did some lobbying with Rachael Ray.
+ Kalyn found a few places to score horchata.

We'd really like you to take part in the conversation here at All Over Albany. But we do have a few rules here. Don't worry, they're easy. The first: be kind. The second: treat everyone else with the same respect you'd like to see in return. Cool? Great, post away. Comments are moderated so it might take a little while for your comment to show up. Thanks for being patient.
