What's up in the Neighborhood

The NeighborhoodAmong the topics in this most recent spin around the Capital Region's online neighborhood: priorities, anchovies, Amtrak, parking lots, breakfast burritos, a cheese plate, radishes, gynecologists, $12 beer, Hare Figwort and advice.

Steve got breakfast radishes at the new Colonie farmers market.

Daniel B enjoyed a "not a terribly good" banh mi from the One of a Kind Teahouse.
